Person would go straight to hell, instead of heaven.

I don't know what would happen to a fundamentalist Christian who suicide bombed an abortion clinic, or gay wedding ceremony, though. Not exactly in defense of the faith, more an attack on abominations.

Oh, well. My soul is in enough trouble, don't think I'll take the chance of trying a suicide bombing.
