Guess what, nobody ever has choosed to be born, and not everybody has had a good life. People usually kill themeselves because they've been traumatised or hate themeselves.
If God didn't want people to kill themeselves, why would He allow them to had bad lives? And if life is a "gift" than wouldn't you be allowed to do what you wan't with it?
When you give someone a present you expect them to do whatever they want with it. If God can't accept that He's a whiny little bitch.
Of course suicide is bad, but it's bad because you will also miss the good things in life, it's bad because it saddens people who love you, not because it will piss off some immature man in the sky. Bad has many shades, not all bad things need to be punished.
Suicidals need help in order to become happy, to enjoy life. Psychology claims the exact opposite of Christianity.
To discriminate against gays, women and atheists is one thing for Christianity. Sure, it's bad, really bad to hate people for being different. But to hate on people for not wanting to live is more than disgusting!
I outlined a pretty good idea of what an ideal world created by an ideal god would look like, and no god concept even comes close to measuring up to it, so if their god can't live up to that standard, fuck 'em and their tiny-ass god.
But you're right, nobody chose to be alive and it's that, and other instances wherein our complete and informed consent are trampled upon by the idea of Yahweh, an inexcusably callous dictator who doesn't understand the first thing about love.
The entire proposition is ludicrous anyway. Human life is utterly meaningless to the Judeo-Xtian god. So they've got a lot of fucking nerve saying it's a mortal sin or will displease their invisible boogeyman in the sky, and even more nerve condemning abortion and yet doing less than nothing to help those unwanted children who either go un-adopted or grow up in miserable poverty and often are only living on borrowed time because they'll end up killing themselves for that exact reason. What then, morally, is the difference between aborting them and that? Other than the latter is tantamount to torturing them first.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?
