We must also ask ourselves though why these attacks are even occurring. I mean what is causing people to go against the God given desire against suicide? In our society we keep looking at the symptoms of problems and not the causes. We also keep trying to treat the symptoms and not cure the disease.
I heard that during the end of times many of those living will pass by a grave and say, "I wish I were there instead of here." Which of course indicates severe depression. Also, at the end of times, religious knowledge will dramaticly decrease among people of every faith. So perhaps a part of the answer to the desire for suicide, in some cases, may be the lack of a spiritual well-being. And as Dan said, the best education is the educating of yourself. Perhaps focusing on educating the spiritual self, the tendancy toward depression will be lessened.
God knows best.
