say some really horrible shit happend in your life, and you kill yourself. How come its a sin to kill yourself. whats the reason given?

No moral reason. Just so you don't kill yourself.

because religious people like killing. whether it be war, capitol punishment, death sentence... they would like to kill a person before a person does it to him/herself. religious people love doing exactly the opposite of what their religions tell them not to do.

sex out of wedlock, killing, adultry, blasphemy, false idols... they love doing everything they condemn.

Probably because you immediately stop contributing anything at all to society, and you unnecessarily cause suffering for others. I bet that in certain cases it is acceptable in the eyes of a Christian or whatever to commit suicide but usually it would only be for the good of others (the "greater good").

For taking the "gift of life" for granted. For not appreciating what you had, focusing on what you lost or didn't have or the pain rather than the Good.

I like that answer.

The biblical writers neither condemn nor commend those whom they record as having taken their own lives.

Who's to say where you'll go? I mean, it's not like anyone who's done it successfully can tell you if you go to hell, now is it?

That would be kinda cool to die and tell everyone what happened when you died.
