Regret, without repentance and forgiveness, can lead people to despair, depression, and suicide. It is insane to think that there would be no suicide if there was no Bible, no Christians, no laws, no moral norms. But that's the implication you sometimes portray.

This was definitely not my experience. Ostracization and bullying leads to suicide for lgbtq. So no, it wasnt my conscience that led me to have suicidal thoughts. It was despair from losing my “family” community, thinking that everyone I ever knew ( who all happen to be Christians in the LC) hates me and I would rather be better off dead, leading me to even believe God hates me like poison (as some sisters called me) because everyone tells me I am an “abomination”. If you have not experienced such a thing, you will never know, so do not assume to know. So yes, I blame Christians, but only the ignorant ones who dont know. But now you know.
