While the man was a genius with the pen, he was definitely a man who cared not what God would think about him blowing his brains out.

Do not judge. God (and the church) have compassion for people who destroy themselves when they're mentally ill.

I wonder if God is more forgiving than you are?

May God, in His infinite mercy, give you severe depression, and may it last until you see your arrogance and develop compassion.

those of us who have suicide in our families might find you insensitive

Hemingway was mentally ill at the end of his life..

There’s a fascinating story about what was done with the shotgun that Hemingway used to commit suicide. IIRC, to avoid its becoming a ghoulish souvenir, the executors had the gun’s metal parts chopped up and the wood parts burned then scattered and buried; the burial site of some of the parts has been rediscovered.

Recently another shotgun owned by Hemingway was auctioned for nearly $700,000.00.

Papa liked his guns. Wonder if he would have accorded the right to bear arms to the rest of us. Given his affinity for communism, I tend to doubt it.
