Actually, I'm really not going to bother "retorting" anything at all.
I just wish to express my amusement at yet another self-proclaimed
psychic Christian. It's amazing the things you think you know about
what goes on in the minds of others. Don't feel bad, though, most of
us have been there at least once, if not twice. :-)

And yet you've actually--really--bothered retorting to my reply.
You see, your own words contradict what you are actually doing.
I'm not intent on being personally critical of you, but rather
am trying to draw your attention to your talk of suicide. See?

>I just wish to express my amusement at yet another self-proclaimed

That is good that you're amused. Perhaps further amusements will
help you to temporarily cope with, distract you from, your manic
depression based on your self-described contemplation of suicide.

>It's amazing the things you think you know about

'T is one thing to think. 'T is quite another thing to know.

>what goes on in the minds of others.

If you do not wish to write and post about what's going on in
your own mind, then the logical conclusion is that you should
cease & desist from doing so on these public usenet newsgroups.
That would be the logical conclusion. And yet you write anyway...

>Don't feel bad, though,

Again, your own words betray your own feelings. Feeling *bad*
is what suicidal people do before committing suicide. Get it?
They commit suicide in vain hopes of killing the bad feelings.
Killing the body doth not kill the soul, neither its troubles.

Smiley emoticons don't undo what you have written and posted.
It's a matter of permanent record. Thus I'll quote you again:

Over the years, I've lost half a dozen close friends to suicide.
Most had health, money, education, and a good future. Go figure?
I'm certain that many others who are reading this can relate to
what I'm saying. When people say things like "most of those who
remember everything end up killing themselves", that's a deadly-
serious red flag for a suicide. There are suicide hot-lines and
websites. You might consider what you've written and why anyone,
any conscientious observer that is, reading what you've written
*must* conclude that you've got something more serious going on
inside your head, to wit suicidal depression, than you seem to
be willing to acknowledge. If you can't admit it publicly, for
your fragile ego, then the least you can do is be honest with
yourself, before all your talk of "killing themselves" (which,
in context, is classic projection for "oneself", ergo killing
*yourself*) leads to the incurable deed. Just trying to help.

Sincerely,
