The 44-year-old "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer wrote in a blog post Saturday, "I do believe suicide is a sin. Because u may as well have murdered every one who loves u even remotely. Including 'God'. And we all have people who adore us...Even if we think we don't."
She continued, "Its a lie too, suicide. It doesn't solve your problems. It only makes them infinitely, un-countably worse. Its a permanent solution to a temporary problem. Which brings u a whole rake of new karmic problems. Its selfish. And shit. So...Let's not do it."

The Irish singer brought her thoughts full-circle by then defending her Twitter rant by writing, "BUT It's ok to FEEL suicidal. That is most definitely neither a sin nor a sign necessarily, of madness. It's quite normal to feel that way sometimes."
O'Connor attempted suicide in 1999 on her 33rd birthday.

Tell Us What You Think
4i still think why she was hated was Bs so she ripped up pictures of the pope.. she did that few years before the whole world came crashing down on all the child molesting old pervs.... she had a great hit and good voice/ right to like /hate who she chooses, religion,etc.. hope it works out
you know, comments like yours do not help anything, didn't your mothers teach you to not say anything if you don't have something positive to say?!? I mean seriously, this woman is obviously troubled and doesn't need random strangers being so ignorant. Nobody knows what demons another may have...regardless of their outward portrayal. Maybe if the world wasn't so judgmental there would be less pain...something for you to think about.
She's always been nasty.
This woman has always been crazy and getting older doesn't seem to help. I remember when she started her career, she would love to shock people, she always loved the attention. Her mom probably let her fall from the cradle and she hit her head.
