When a person goes to hell, can they hear what you say?

If you actually are a religious person, you should be well educated about what your beliefs are. In this instance it depends on how you view suicide, and also how you view hell. Technically, there are three separate places that could be called ‘hell,’ and honestly, my personal belief is that hell is merely a perfect and total self-imposed separation from God. You might read something like ‘The Great Divorce’ by C.S. Lewis…that clears up a lot of the Christian idea of heaven and hell, and while it is an allegory and not a piece of technical theology, it is A, a beautiful piece of writing, and B, an extraordinary view of the afterlife by a thoughtful and eminently reasonable man. Also, suicide is a big question. You still have certain schools of Christ-followers who believe that if you kill yourself, you go straight to the hot place (gehenna, which is actually reserved for Satan), but we also believe in an all-good God, and if a person can forgive someone they love for committing suicide, I believe that God, in his all knowing, all good state, will likewise forgive. Suicide is an eminently selfish act, but not something, in my personal beliefs book, that’ll get you punished infinitely in the afterlife.
