Are you telling me that no Catholic has ever committed suicide? If this were the case there wouldn't all those issue of being buried in unconsecrated ground.
I know Scully's attempt to kill herself is one of the most controversial point of this story.
I myself find it plausible that Scully would not want to live forever, that the burden of eternal life would be too much for her to bear.
However, I have a hard time buying that she would try to off herself while young. But at the same time it looks like she's experimenting - what a bullet through the head will do to her. She hopes she's going to die but deep down she *knows* she's not going to.
