For the record, I too believe it is one of the most selfish acts in life, but it seems we have no Baptists here. Wouldn't they argue God said it was his time? Or does that not apply since he "took" his own life instead of "waiting" for God to call him up.

Fuck that, when my sister died the priest said that it was God's desire, it was fate. Fuck that, it was the day I left the Catholic Church and will never return. God has nothing to do with the bad choices men make. (IMHO)

Yea....I'm pretty not happy with the Catholics right now, about the same subject.....I was never Catholic but got to hear and experience some of the ridiculousness of it all, for myself.
I'd like to agree and cheers Merc for doing the right thing there.

Sidenote:
Another loved died and his ex wife said it was "all for the best" to me. I said no it isn't. He left a 6 year old son behind that he was very close to. The kid already had problems.......Don't tell me all for the best. (another- god did this- thing)

I should have given her the best case scenario, but I refrained. She did call and apologize...which was nice...but she always was, and always will be a creep. Not just for that....but "all for the best" is what she meant. All for the best for her. Sorry...TMI

I will say in my defense that I was just looking for the "post your pet" thread.
