Suicide among Christians
May 29, 2021 at 2:21 pm
Saw a few articles of 3 young christians, one son of the pastor, two others young pastors kill themselves. That shows the brutal pressure Christians are trying to embrace.

Three separate cases. Feels like the pressure, impossible expectations of religion broke those people.

Three isn’t a large enough statistical universe to conclude that. Even in these cases, the suicides may have had nothing to do with Christian pressure.  Link?
