Suicide

RE: Suicide
(December 14, 2014 at 11:54 pm)Drich Wrote: The action is complete on the 'mother's' end. (God has done all He can do for a sentient being.) Now it is up to the child to push away the saving efforts of his parent.

For whatever reason, the child resists or refuses to be saved, because children sometimes do weird and irrational shit. The mother shrugs and walks away, allowing the child to be run down.

Is the mother no longer responsible for the safety of her child just because the child may protest her attempt to save him from mortal danger? Does the mother get to say "My child deserves it. I told him not to go out into the street"? Would that be the sentiment of a good person?

Additionally, is it not one of the highest, most noble and heroic and good acts, to go so far to save another's life as sacrificing your own existence?

Quote:why should God care about what happens to those who do not belong to Him especially when caring for those who hate Him and His followers will disrupt what God wants for those who belong to Him?

I dunno, love thy neighbor, turn the other cheek, etc.?

A being which would let a person suffer or die just because that person doesn't love them isn't a being that deserves the presumptive title of "ultimate good". That kind of being is just a petty bastard who favors sycophancy.
