Sadly, for some it IS a sin to commit suicide. That belief, in my opinion, leads to many suicides every year - a person raised there entire life believing that suicide is evil and a sin, begins thinking about it for whatever reason, and feels they can't talk to anyone, because it would be admitting they are sinners. Sigh...
