    They preached it, however they certainly didn't practise it.

    And your point? "Because a few people failed, therefore the church promotes suicide"?

    I don't even..

    If they make those vows and come before God with that promise and God creates as Jesus said he does, one person out of two, then yes. It still happens whether they believe it or not.

    But what if its a civil service? Or a humanist ceremony? or any one of the many other options that are recognised as marriage, nobody comes before god in those instances

    The new combined person is apparently killed.

    I think his name is Jim.

    Ah poor old Jim. He won't like that!

    Jaw drop indeed. People opposing me have claimed for example that:

    1. Pope Benedicts messages of love, protecting life and hope lead to - despair.
    2. Christian marriages cause suicide rates

    3. A total denial of the attack on masculinity in the media and society today, therefore undermining men's sense of identity and thus confidence.

    4. And my favourite: there couldn't possibly be any connection between society justifying suicide like euthanasia and murder (abortion) and there being a high rate of suicides in society. Combined with divorce being a source of suicide, albeit an invisible spiritual one.

    Unbelievable indeed.

    But then again, there's so much at stake here for the liberals. So this reaction was expected. Anyway, I pretty much highlighted possible causes for these high suicide rates, and how cycling and organizing hundreds of 'events' so celebrities can satisfy themselves, and appear compassionate is doing NOTHING FOR THE SUICIDE RATES.

    It's got about as much evidence as what you're claiming.

    Under that doctrine wouldn't you consider the priest a murderer. After all there were originally two people and apparently they cease to exist during the creation of this new person by the priest. At the very least you would consider him to be aiding in suicide as the participants are there willingly.

    Lol, the Church forbids divorce. Where are you getting this from? Priests don't divorce anyone. It is faithful to the teachings of Jesus whom forbids divorce in all four gospels.
