There's an old saying... "There are no Atheists in foxholes". Roughly translated it means that when you're faced with your own death, all bets are off and you call on God to help you, to save you. I can tell you from personal experience that the saying is 100% true.
I refused to watch it. NOT because of any statements about God, but rather because it was simply a foolish thing to do, and I've never enjoyed watching fools. I refuse to lower myself down to their level.
I'd never want to think that my desire to see a man fall to his death was in any way, even remotely, connected with that persons death. Giving him an audience is a form of encouraging him to do something foolish, and if he had died that would have forever connected me and everyone else to his death by encouraging him. Read my sig at the bottom of this post. God does not hold us blameless.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
