You "perceive" this, but like many things it's a false perception based on internal biases and ignorance of the actual positions held by your opponents.
Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, Declaration on Euthanasia, - May 5, 1980
II. Catechism of the Catholic Church:
[b]Suicide
2280 - Everyone is responsible for his life before God who has given it to him. It is God who remains the sovereign Master of life. We are obliged to accept life gratefully and preserve it for his honor and the salvation of our souls. We are stewards, not owners, of the life God has entrusted to us. It is not ours to dispose of.[/b]
1. I am not responsible for my life to any deities, imaginary or otherwise.
2. No deity is sovereign over my life, imaginary or otherwise.
3. I am not obliged to be grateful to any deity for anything, including imaginary superstitions like souls.
4. I am not a steward of my life, I am the owner of it, and I would grant the same to anyone else who wished it, get over it.
5. No deity has entrusted anything to me, and my life is mine to do with as I see fit, again I suggest you get over it.
You will note, that I am not telling anyone else they must feel the same way as I do, see the difference?
