Suicide FAQ Answers

2)  **** Racial minority groups definitely have higher suicide rates than the majority groups, and lower income areas have higher suicide rates than other areas, but everyone is at risk. ** 3)   **** No, the Bible never //directly// condemns suicide. However many Christians feel that the commandment, “Thou shall not kill,” includes killing yourself. ** 4)  ** **// Would stricter gun control lower suicide rates? //**** – There is no definite answer to this question. Some people say yes, some say no. Statistically, the answer is yes, considering the fact that 2/3 of all male suicides are completed using a gun, but if a gun wasn’t available to a suicidal person, who knows whether they would have found another method or not? ** 5)   ** ** People have different opinions on whether it is more beneficial for a suicidal person to talk to a professional or a family member. While a **** counselor or hotline operator has more experience dealing with suicidal people and is less likely to overreact, a family member or friend knows the person as an individual and understands his/her past better. ** Back to Suicide FAQ Page Back to Main Page
