One Christian apologist I know recently tried arguing against suicide being damnable because there's only one unforgivable sin and it's not listed as being suicide. I'd respond to that by saying that suicide should be considered in the category as "murder", which in itself is not unforgivable.
Another argument I've seen is that Samson committed suicide, but I'd more consider what he did as part of an act of war on behalf of his people (laying down his life for his countrymen). Context matters. The passengers who intentionally crashed the plane on 9/11 shouldn't be considered to have committed suicide in my eyes.
