well they aren't proven wrong ether so your argument does not prove anything.
You're the one making a claim, I haven't made a claim but rather questioned the merit of your claim because you haven't provided evidence for it. The burden of proof is on you to prove your claim, not on me to disprove it.

I am going to take a stab at Sartre.....it is suicide "a priori"  existing simple for the availability to commit suicide. Now that may not actually be the understanding of "a priori" per Sartre but I am sure I will be corrected.

That's because God works in mysterious ways. Who the fuck are you to question his wisdom?
