Do Christians worship a suicide victim?
RE: Do Christians worship a suicide victim?

How many steps does it take before you consider its not suicide?

walk in front a train? drive a car that you know will run out of petrol and stop in front of a train? Get a lift with a person knowing the car will run out of petrol in front of a train? 

In my opinion it is not accidental if you know the final outcome.

According to the book the Jesus character new the outcome before setting the events in motion.

I think it then comes down to intent ... if you intend to take/give your own life its suicide.

I can accept that if a woman shoots herself so her child gets her heart for transplant, its a self-sacrifice, but its still suicide ...

The difference between the Jesus character is he gave his life (according to the story) with no benefactors other than his delusion ....
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
