In a Christian-only thread, a member here said that a Christian commiting suicide probably sends that person to hell because it is a final rebellion against God. I think the issue is more complicated than that, since, if the suicidal person actually believes in God, he'd know that flipping God one last bird would hardly earn him escape from his personal torment. It's also fairly obvious that Christians aren't immune to mental illness. My dad was no Christian, but his suicide was a clear expression of a rampaging case of bipolar.
"Christian suicide" is also kind of a strange thing to posit. I'd ask this poster how the term Christian suicide is coherent at all if the act itself and all its antecedent thoughts would clearly indicate an absent faith.
