It was my understanding that suicide was an irredeemable sin in your religion. Otherwise, why wouldn't every Christian that is convinced they will go to heaven not commit suicide after some form of Room 101-style soul purification? Otherwise you're leaving it up to chance that you'll make an irredeemable mistake in the future.

I don't have any skin in the game, I'm just confused why the most logical course of action wouldn't be to make your path to heaven as fast as possible?
