I would agree that suicide is never that simple, suicide is quite a mind boggling endeavor in some ways. And I am sorry for your loss, though it was a time ago.
And again, as you point out, nothing is that simple. Of course this is true, and you will get no argument from me here. However, just because there are contributing factors, the fact that religion in my case and many others was a contributing factor is a travesty.
Interesting how I didn't bring up contradictions in scripture, you did. I have problems with the scripture that is quite straightforward and not contradicted. Besides that by the very definition of a contradiction you can't reconcile them. I think you mean "apparent contradiction", which is the word most defenders of the faith will use.
Again, I did not bring up the censorship of sex, you did. And I don't intend to have sex outside my marriage should I ever get married, but until the time that I am married I will at least consider premarital sex as a possibility.
You shouldn't read much into the nuances you point out. Chatting online is very different than in person, where the feedback of conversation allows for clarification of minor points as you go. Nor should it be taken as seriously as the published word, which is written and rewritten a dozen times. Online talk has the grave disadvantage of memorializing shoot from the hip writing.
