If the bible said you had to commit suicide at 30, it wouldn't have become the paramount religious document it is today.

The bible is successful in part because it propogates successful methods of transmission (live long and prosper, go forth and spread the word etc.). It wouldn't have been nearly as successful if it told everyone to kill themselves.
