For me, I still believe God has His way and surely His punishment will meant to correct people (exemption ang angels), usahay di ba only after great calamities or tragedies that people seems to realized something is wrong in their life or society? I wonder if di magbag-o ang si Hitler sa iyang mentality after a couple of hundred years (hehehe sobra ba?) service in Hell..

Regarding pud anang Sipuku o Harakiri sa Japan, kung buot huna-hunaon cowardice man na ba...para ra's suicide sa uban pag di na kabayad sa utang usahay nag-suicide na dala depression or too much anger for God bordering on hatred na for a life gone awry. Mas courageous ang tao nga na-shame or defeated yet still take life head-on and face the consequence for the things he had done kesa sa suicide just to escape all of it. Mao gani nag Harakiri kay di madawat sa mga samurai ang reality sa defeat...a way to promote blind obedience to the leadership and ensure total sacrifice in battle during feudal Japan.

I can only say what will happen to a christian who committed the act of suicide which is surely Hell, kay before they take their life I'm sure naa sa mind nila ang gravity sa ilang buot buhaton pati ang Ginoo, pero tungod lagi kay grabe jud ang desparation nila...mas gitagaan nila bili ilang kasubo kaysa sa iyang Ginoo nga mutabang niya.
In a way, they turned their back on God. On the other hand, kining suicide sa mga samurai sauna I think I can't really tell whether they are in Hell or not...only God knows really in His infinite wisdom what justice they would get...but as a christian I believe it is wrong to take one's life regardless of what reason.

That is just your limited point of view which is just like a drop of the entire ocean and not the ocean itself who is GOD!

One thing for sure...we cannot judge pipol by our religious faith or belief because NO RELIGION IS HIGHER THAN TRUTH!
