The part of being a theist doesn't rationalize the thoughts of others.

Or did you misquote?

Did you mean theist or did you mean atheist?

No, I meant theist.   A theist ought not to regard killing himself as self harm if he believes by dying he transitions to a better state.  Harm would be a transition to a worse state.  No?
