> It does have bearing, because you think Ritter went to heaven, and I say he went to hell.
I didn’t say he was going to heaven.
> I can afford to be wrong but you can’t.
What gives you the idea that you can “afford” to be wrong?
> I would tell anyone who’s contemplating suicide, that they will be getting a one way ticket to hell,
I hope you never deal with suicidal people because you will be no help to them at all.
> you otoh might tell them it’s okay because heaven will be their reward, and there’s no basis to that.
I wouldn’t be discussing the “Hereafter” with a suicidal person. Not if I wanted to help them anyrate.
In your case that might be a good thing, since you don't really understand the seriousness of it, you wouldn't know what to say, people who commit suicide do it thinking that by doing so they will be relieved of the pain in this life, but in reality because of it their pain will only be magnified in the next, and they need to know this before they do it. You do no one any favors by implying or by thinking that God forgives suicides.
