Little children as young as three are killing themselves in the USA, where a recent news report labels suicide epidemic in the most affluent nation of the world.

Canada isn’t far behind, but until recently we didn’t have statistics because child suicides just weren’t reported publicly.

NOW THE SAD STORY IS KNOWN EVERYWHERE!

Not only the incurably ill, the chronic manic depressive or jilted lovers are killing themselves, but so are teenagers and little children.

The European situation has taken an ugly twist, too. A British company has even published a book on how to commit suicide.

AND MANY ROCK GROUPS GLORIFY VIOLENCE AND DEATH!

It’s just too much for the normal mentality to grasp. Why would anybody want to destroy themselves when life is so precious? There is so much to live for; family, work, friends, love and God.

Then why the epidemic? What are the underlying causes for this rush towards death?

Large numbers of Russians delusional with the hopelessness of the totalitarian state have resigned themselves to a slow form of suicide through alcohol. Vodka dulls the brain and makes it easier, they claim.

Alcohol and drugs enslave millions around the world and they are responsible for many violent deaths on the highways, murders and suicides.

Young Metis and Native Indians are disillusioned because of the hopelessness they see around them. Many are unemployed and lack a trade or profession. The majority are simply ignored. Some are on drugs and alcohol and many feel discriminated against.

Let’s face it, Native Canadian Indians certainly are looked down upon in many areas and treated as second-class citizens. Yet, they are the original Canadians!

IN MY OPINION, CANADIAN INDIANS HAVE SUFFERED MORE SOCIALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND NATIONALLY THAN ANY OTHER RACE AND IT’S ONLY RECENTLY THAT THEY ARE PROTESTING!

Financial reverses where an individual loses everything often pushes a person over the brink to suicide. The Bre-X scandal recently claimed its first victim, BC lawyer Lawrence Beadle took his own life after it was officially confirmed that the Bre-X stock was worthless.

Beadle’s wife, Davida, told New Westminster police that her husband had become depressed over an investment in Bre-X Minerals Ltd which had collapsed several days earlier!

Another factor contributing to the increasing suicide rate is the psychology of war and nuclear destruction that haunts our young people. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, people felt quite safe. Recently (May, 1997), Boris Yeltsin, ticked off by the expansion of plans of NATO - stated that Russia reserves the right of ‘First Strike’ with nuclear weapons if threatened!

If it’s all going to end in a holocaust, why not end it the way we choose - an overdose of drugs, a bottle of pills, a razor blade or a gunshot?

WILL IT GET WORSE? Unfortunately, the answer is yes. It will get much worse unless a new psychology of life and living emerges - a new philosophy that destroys the myth that man just happened by chance, that we evolved from an ape!

NO MY FRIEND, WE WERE CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, NOT LIKE AN ANIMAL OR INSECT!

Human beings are one of a kind and life is precious. Therefore we must stop the killing of millions of unborn babies and change the word ‘abortion’ to ‘murder’. And we must, once and for all, get rid of the Hitler mentality of infanticide, euthanasia and genocide.

CULTURE OF DEATH: THE PRODUCT OF SECULAR HUMANISM!

The rush to assisted suicide by short-sighted men and women in the medical field sometimes triggers cloak & dagger killings on unwitting and unwilling patients, whom they feel are filling a space someone else should occupy!

Why are we seeing these evil things escalate? Pope John Paul II addressed this phenomenon correctly when he spoke of what he calls ‘The Culture of Death’!

Dr. Henry Morgentaler - the secular humanist - who rejects God and our Lord Jesus Christ, has done irreparable harm to our society, the dignity of women and human life in general during his long & bloody career as Canada’s leading fetus killer!

Dr. Jack Kevorkian has “blood upon his hands” also in his role as America’s leading exterminator of the terminally ill, who have requested his help in committing suicide.

The trouble is two-fold! No. 1 - He is setting a bad precedent. If things are too tough, throw in the towel. We often hear horror stories of people who were depressed and only thought they were terminally ill or had received an erroneous diagnosis before committing suicide!

No. 2 - Whoever assists in a suicide is playing God. No one has the right to take human life but God. Job said, “The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord”. (Job 1:21) Ultimately, only God decides if we live or die and when!

A VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION!

Then we have the sodomists who call themselves “happy or gay” people but are anything but, according to my counseling sessions with them and other reports!

Homosexuals are in the high risk category to acquire the HIV virus and AIDS, as well as numerous other STD’s (sexually transmitted diseases) and suicide!

I have a grave concern about governmental agencies, media journalists, medical doctors and clergy who are pushing for more GAY AWARENESS and GAY RIGHTS. Are they really desiring the best for these tormented victims of perversion? OR DO THEY HAVE A HIDDEN AGENDA?

Some are caring folks. Others, I’m afraid may be ‘closet Kevorkians’ - possibly homosexuals - who despise the others, knowing that the more liberty and license the homosexual lobby acquires, the more AIDS, T.B., STD’s and suicides there will be!

One thing we do know is that Hitler’s top homosexual aids helped carry out his orders to imprison and kill thousands of homosexuals. We also know that the world’s most famous Jew hater and killer was himself part Jewish! How ironic!

In my opinion, the only people who truly love homosexuals are born again Christians who want to pray for them so that they may be saved, changed by God’s power and become His children! And be miraculously healed from AIDS and other diseases through prayer and faith!

Let us never forget - when this life is over, we will meet our Maker, we will reap what we have sowed.
