Religious teachings that elevate suffering and pain as something “sacred” should not be used to prevent terminally ill people taking their own lives, leading Christian and Jewish clerics have insisted.These particular demons aren't breaking ranks, of course. Breaking ranks would mean following the laws of God and Nature, which is physically impossible for demons. They are simply the officially assigned Vanguard, the Early Adopters, laying down the path for other demons to roar through, smashing and obliterating everything except the Chosen.
An alliance of bishops, priests and rabbis have broken ranks with the religious establishment to voice support for plans to change the law to allow a form of assisted suicide in the UK for the first time.
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, they argue that far from being a sin, helping terminally ill people to commit suicide should be viewed simply as enabling them to “gracefully hand back” their lives to God.
