First of all, thank you for the enlarged font size. It truly helps me read well. Now, that said, I will not compare suffering. Each persons' suffering is their own and there is no comparison. What you cannot know is that if you shun someone that that action might not be the one catalyst that causes them to commit suicide. Mental pain can be as acute and cause as much suffering as cancer pain. Are you responsible? No. The person is. But your actions could have contributed to the final choices.and yet it was questioning that resulted in this woman's rejection from the leaders of your faith. I don't see this as someone who was encouraged to ask anything. But what is wickedness? Who gets to define it? Do you live by all of the laws of the OT? And if you do not, why don't you? Christ either did away with all of those laws or he did not. But I digress. Wickedness has changed with time and with culture. What you call this mutable concept may not be what I call it.
Snarky comment aside, I am sorry about your son however, you have not lost your son yet. He still lives and breathes friend. And while in no way whatsoever am I diminishing your trials or your pain, having him there right now is not the same as losing him. And there is one other thing, ... sometimes losing a child to death can be better than losing them while living. A dead child can be mourned and one can move on from that. A child who cannot be seen or spoken to for 3 decades is much different. Not knowing what they are doing, never seeing the grandchildren or great grandchildren....EVER. Trust me..its not the same.
