Please don't question someone's personal relationship with God or assume what's going on inside their head if they're suicidal and/or depressed. I nearly took my life last year after being trapped in the toxicity of depression and my faith has prevailed through that. It was present when I was going through that. I know several outstanding Christian individuals who contemplated ending it all, and it wasn't due to a false profession in Jesus but instead a confluence of problems going on in their lives that resulted in weariness and sadness and made suicide very tempting. I personally understand how one arrives at that point and applaud anyone who struggles through it, still holding on to any hope they can find. Don't you dare blame disingenuous faith in God for suicidal tendencies, OK? Those sorts of doubts about myself brought me to the edge, wondering if I actually belonged to God or not. Saying those sorts of things could impact any individual going through hardships right now and convince them that pulling the trigger is their only choice.

Sorry about the rant, but it was condescending viewpoints like that (that I'm sure you don't at all intend to come across that way) from fellow believers that widened my despair, and it hurts me still to see passively indifferent stances on fragile people being openly exploited by people who should be standing with and helping those people at all costs. I'm done now. :P
