Suicide may be an unforgivable act to the religious establishment around the world, and to religious individuals who adhere doggedly to their religion, but not to the loving intelligence that created the universe.  What we call God.  

To God, suicide has no permanent affect on the greater scheme of things in the universe; its impact is limited and perhaps only to our world.  Let us not forget that God is eternal, infinite, and not subject to death.  What does that have to do with human life?

Perhaps everything.  It is believed that we each possess a soul.  If this is true - and by the way, this is what many religions teach to the masses - then, by extension, we must conclude that our souls must have been provided to us by the same Intelligence that created the universe.  On this, we probably all agree.  

However, if this is the case does it not mean then that our souls are eternal?

Would it not mean that, we can kill the body, but not the soul?  For, remember, the Essence - the Energy that is God is eternal; it never ceases to exist; it just lives on and on through eternity, infinity.  Is it not also said that God gave man the breath of life?  (Which, figuratively speaking, is another way of saying God gave us the means with which to experience life.)  The answer, of course, is yes.

Now let us ask ourselves another question: What is the means?  What is it about what God gives to each individual that gives us life?  Is it a literal breath of life?  Is this only a figure of speech?  Or, is there something else that gives us life?

I propose that what gives life to our lives is the very essence of God itself.  What is this essence?  It is that creative energy possessed by God from which all things in the universe spring; an eternal life-giving source that never depletes or runs out of the energy It possess.

What does this have to do with suicide?  Perhaps this: that God gave posited in each person a soul.  No one asked God to do this; yet for unknown reasons, It decided to do this of its own accord.  In doing this, God must have given us a small part of Itself - a sliver - of the very essence which gives life to all things.  When God posits a sliver of Itself in a thing, it comes to life, including the human body 

The source of energy that God posited in our lives never dies, for its purpose is to give life, not take it.  In essence, God has given
