Rules for suicide
So, let’s say God is real and suicide is definitely a one way trip to Hell. I wonder if falling asleep and not wanting to wake up counts as being suicidal.
I wonder if drug overdoses, or over-indulging in brandy is enough to end up swimming in the Lake of Fire. I wonder how much intent matters to God. I mean, consciously we know that overdoses are very possible, but I don’t know that most people expect to enjoy their vice and die.
I wonder if not wanting to live is the same as actively taking steps to die. I wonder if suicide can be passive.

Hmm. It may be better worded as unintentional/accidental versus passive. I personally believe that suicide is intentional. Killing yourself unintentionally, would constitute being accidental. As for God’s judgement on this; I think He takes into account the state of mind and the individuals heart in each case.
I think the #1 rule for suicide? If you’re thinking about it, you’re depressed…and need help.
