Well of *course* you do. With the bible in hand you can justify or condemn pretty much *anything*. It's SO convenient!

Yes, it is. Well, its a little bit more compicated than that, but you got the essentials.

Actually I used reason to show that faith in an afterlife is a safe bet that doesn't require any real test of that faith. It's no better than claiming to be a Christian just to be accepted by friends and family. It's safe to do and doesn't require any effort.

I would think it is a test of faith, even though others can't see it. Because if the bridge jumper is wrong, his faith is disproven and there is no heaven or hell. But if he is right, his faith is proven correct and he goes to either heaven or hell. Now, there are different theories about where you will go, since suicide seems to be disobeying god, but that's much more complicated and a whole other topic.
