I'm not religious, but isn't also a sin for Christians to kill themselves?

It's normally sin for Muslims as well. But they make exception for a good cause...

Yes. Technically, it is for Muslims as well. Christians and Muslims differ in that Christians believe we are created with a fallen nature and Muslims believe their actions are what cause them to fall.

"I'm not religious, but isn't also a sin for Christians to kill themselves?"

Technically yes, Only God has the right to give or take life. Except for certain situations where that right has been delegated to society by God such as justice, war, self-defense. The right to take your own life was never delegated.

Unlike Muslims who are commanded to hate infidels and not be friends with them, Christians are commanded to love others including our enemies and to overcome evil with good. It's pretty hard to rationalize terrorizing people as an act of love.

Oddly, my opinion as a Christian regarding suicide is that its a sin but once saved, all sins, past, present and future are forgiven. Suicide, to me, is a harsh sin but forgivable based on Jesus' ultimate sacrifice.

With this thought in mind, you would think there would be at least ONE Christian who would blow themselves up "for God" based on my belief. There is just something about my faith that causes us to look at life differently I guess.
