Rick Warren's Son Commits Suicide

Rick Warren's Son Commits Suicide
http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/12/ri...ht-online/

Quote:Warren’s church, the Saddleback Valley Community Church, released a statement on Saturday saying that Matthew Warren had committed suicide after experiencing “a momentary wave of despair at home.” Matthew, who was Pastor Warren’s youngest child, had wrestled with depression and mental illness for many years.

The loss of a child, especially under such conditions, is an horrible tragedy that I wouldn't wish on anyone. I am equally aghast at Warren's reaction to tweet his grieving process and make the whole tragic event all about him.

Quote:“Someone on the internet sold Matthew an unregistered gun,” the pastor tweeted. “I pray he seeks God’s forgiveness. I forgive him. #MATTHEW 6:15.” Warren paraphrased the cited verse in a following tweet, “If you forgive men when they sin against you, your Heavenly Father will forgive you. But if you don’t…”

This isn't about you, Rick, or your heroic self-image.

I can't help but wonder if Warren's apparent narcissism contributed to his son's depression and ultimately his suicide. The logistics of purchasing a weapon online suggest it was not a "momentary wave of despair".
