Suicide is back in the news so its time to start your regularly scheduled culling of morally righteous people having an incredibly stupid opinion and not knowing how to take the L

All these takes about Anthony Bourdain, and nobody's pointed out that suicide is a cardinal sin and he's surely burning in Hell.

We were all thinking it, it's just not really tactful or constructive to make a big deal of it at this juncture.

He's probably right. Anyone who lives in Missouri and doesn't kill themselves deserves some sort of medal.

Shaming people for (or prone to) killing themselves via pointing out the people they leave behind need them is like screaming insults at fat people.

Sure, you're technically right and the most basic dumb expectation may be that they're gonna get better due to it, but it's never that, because the fatally depressed just like the morbidly obese usually won't get better when you put them under more pressure.

I for one do genuinely hope he died whacking off, it's always less sad than suicide.

The official position of the Eastern Orthodox church, you know, the one that split off from the Catholics in 1054, is that we know who has made it, Saints, and that the status of all others is not given to the knowledge of mortal men. Prayers for the dead are considered valid and effectual, and are an inheritance of the Jewish kaddish tradition. So if you are an atheist and want to annoy Aquinas by forcing him to share a space with Bertrand Russel, you can do that by offering a simple prayer for the peace and harmony of the reposed Bertrand Russel's soul.
