No. It's not. I should be able to face this like an adult, articulate my points of disagreement and somehow make you understand the depth of harm perpetrated by religious people, for religious reasons. How the problem of suicide is unique with regard to Christianity because of the direct, causative link between suicide and eternal damnation, and that priests tell children about this link to their faces, even when their parents committed suicide. But I can't. And that's not okay. And Christians just gonna keep on Christing along. God is good! All the time! All the time! God is good! taking fucking 'mission trips' to Veracruz and Panama City Beach and so on and so forth, forever and ever, amen.
