It (can be) all about the context in which you interpret the lyrics.
When I first heard this lot, I thought they sounded good: didn't pay too much attention to what they were saying. Then someone told me they're strict Christians.
So I listened to the lyrics, and damn me but if it ain't so it certainly sounds like it, especially "Bring me back to Life".
Worst line ever: "My God, my tourniquet, return to me salvation!" Ewwww.
Never thought of it in terms of the suicide/victim-stance thing, but it's all still very Christian - suicide being a sin but martyrs get sainthood: where do you draw the line?
