Awful shit aside, I thought people generally believed that you don't go to heaven if you commit suicide?
It's a primarily a Catholic thing. The reasoning is that for every sin you commit, you must ask forgiveness (confession). By committing suicide, you have committed a sin but cannot ask for forgiveness and are thus condemned.
I grew up in an evangelical church, and it most certainly is not a primarily Catholic thing.
