Agnostics are christians in denial, Atheists are not against religion

I used to be a Christian. I'm now an agnostic. One thing that really bothers me about Christianity is that I cannot understand why here in 2020 people are still debating whether or not all suicides go to Hell. I would never want anyone to commit suicide. However, I understand that there are people that are driven to it because of both unbearable emotional and physical suffering. Therefore, it bewilders me how a merciful god would feel that justice had been served in sending someone who fits that description to burn for all eternity. It would be like he is no less sadistic than Satan himself. Moreover, there is no scientific evidence that all suicides go to Hell. These psycho-Christians are merely adding insult to injury every time they tell a mourning family that a loved one of theirs who committed suicide has gone to Hell.

I once read a story on the Internet about a married couple who had attended a church for years and had contributed a whole mint to them; but after their teenage son had committed suicide, that same church was unwilling to perform a funeral service for him inasmuch as they insisted that he had gone to Hell. These Christian fundamentalists are simply not right in the head. Anyhow, I gave your article an upvote. :-)
