@dfwgator

I don't know about that, and I certainly hope not.  I've never seen a clear Scriptural answer for suicide.  If he was mentally ill, and he seems to have been, he wasn't in his right mind.  God would take that into account.

I agree with this @CatherineofAragon  It's too difficult to believe a loving God would throw away a wounded child.

Suicide is sad and it is not the answer but people who do this are not in their right mind. I know during a very short time of my life I was very very depressed I had a husband who was abusing me both physically and emotionally. I was going through a divorce to get away and was stopped by the judge who said if I left the house I would loose my two boys who were still home my other two were grown so I was stuck in our home with him and even after he went to jail for slugging me the judge still allowed him to stay. When he kept blocking the divorce which back in 1985 in Michigan could go on forever my depression was awful and I tried suicide. I meant it too I waited for everyone to go to bed started both cars in the garage took some over the counter sleeping pills and lay down in my car with a pillow and blanket and went to sleep didn't wake up till the next day my oldest my daughter was home for the weekend she never came downstairs to get a snack but that night she did and heard the cars and found me. Never since that night have I ever wanted to commit suicide. The judge was retired by force and I was given my divorce a few weeks later. I love life and always except for those few days after two years of continual abuse have thought I could do that. It made me a very strong woman after that I vowed never to let anyone or anything bury me in depression again and it hasn't. I love life and am so glad I didn't succeed I have now lived 33 years longer and enjoyed every minute of it. God was with me that night or I wouldn't be here but if I had died I do believe he would have understood how sick I was to try it the real me never would have I can barely believe it ever happened. These people just were to depressed to think straight.

Oh, my God, what an account.  So thankful you lived.

@CatherineofAragon

I saw the episode he filmed in Jerusalem and didn't care if I never saw another one of his films.  He laughed at the idea of religion, said he did not believe in God and he made fun of religious sites there.  I was shocked he did that.  He was kind in other countries about their customs, but he was like a different person in Jerusalem.  He wanted people to know he did not believe in God.

@Victoria33

Yeah, he definitely had many of the qualities of the typical liberal...just like you describe.  I just hope that somehow God was able to get through to him in his last moments.

@CatherineofAragon

I didn't mean to suggest he was a liberal - I didn't know his politics.  I just knew he didn't believe in God because he said it in the film.  It surprised me he would say that, but he was being true to those who would see the film.  His coverage of the religious locations was poor since he didn't believe any of it.
