[Lester Moore]

How do we know this couple didn't pray and ask God's forgiveness before they died?Following through on their self murder is evidence that they weren't repentant and didn't forsake their sin.

Even if they repented a minute before their deaths, they are forgiven.

Well, it's times like these that make me very happy to be an atheist.

It is infinitely better to believe in no god at all than to believe in a god who will not forgive people who take their own pain-ridden, diseased lives at a time of their own choosing rather than suffer just for the sake of some misplaced notion of faith.

If that's your god, I have to say he's pretty cruel and I have no use for him.
