Against- Sanstity of life. Only God can take life away. Should not kill another being, including themselves. The Bible depicts people that commit suicide as evil. Eg/ Judas

Wrong- sanctity of life. Accept that people who attempt suicide need care and love rather than rejection- Agape. Believe that Jesus died to save us from sin and so God will forgive those that are sorry- it is not up to us to judge.
