People killing themselves doesn't have anything to do with God in my opinion. It's their own choice, God gave us free will.
and IMHO there is a devil, and HE causes the pain we deal with. The fact that you are still here, and still making it after suffering, to me that is the power of God.

God is everything,everywhere and available to be in all of us. God is the Positive in the world and the devil is the negative.
What motivates you? What is your character?
God is a word for the good mon,mon:rastanana
devil a word for the bad.
Yin and Yang
Black and White
Manmade and Godmade

I agree that we make our own choices, The devil does not make people pick up a gun and shoot themselves. But the devil does cause negativity and hostility.

Coming from a community that has been hit hard with suicide in the last two years...I've heard lots of things being said about God and the devil and all of that.
I've seen people drive by the church and flip the bird .
I've heard people say if there was a God then why did my uncle hang himself.
And I can't blame that on God. Nor can I blame it on the devil.
Everyone is responsible for what they bring into their lives, negativities included. The devil doesnt' make you get addicted to crack.

funny that when things go really bad people blame god.
where are those same people when things are going great?a cousin of mine got a brain tumor. she lived for a few years after but the whole time she was thankful. thankful that god had given her a chance to know when she was leaving so that she could prepare her family.
thankful that she had been given an invitation to a much greater place than this flesh offers.

This is actually the kind of conversation and thinking that made me question faith. It was mention that god doesn't make you be addicted to crack.
Technically yes. Addiction is a genetic trait and god made genes. Why would he/she give you such an obstical and then NOT give you a fair role model to teach you otherwise. You don't know to look both ways before crossing the street unless someone teaches you too.
Suicide isn't a selfish or evil choice. It's a form of mental illness. It's a chemical imbalance in the brain, usually inhereited from a parent. Why would god give you this and then put you in a world that believes mental illness is both a selfish life style choice?
Another example is when people say 'By the grace of god I was spared death.' and by the grace of god 200 others were taken.
Like I said, I'm still searching for peace and light to believe in again.

I've known several people who killed themselves recently . And I know their parents too. One of my friends that hung himself not too long ago was addicted to several things. And his parents are both clean cut individuals. And always were.
I don't agree with your statement on suicide.
