No you have not, nor was it my intent. If I ever am judgmental I hope it's against those who are judging or trying to control others. I grew up in a very religious home and everything good and natural in me was judged as sinful so I know how that can feel.

I'm not sure what exactly you are referring to in my posts but if it had to deal with what I posted about nothing in the Bible condemning suicide I posted that for anyone, who like me, was brought up thinking it was a sin and in the Bible.

Anyway I have strong feelings about this issue for sure. My goal is to support choice in the individual. It's not up to me what that choice should be. I hope this has clarified things a little as I try very hard not to offend if it can be helped. We are all struggling here.
