In the Bible, Jesus says more than anyone else about Hell. He refers to it as a literal place and describes it in graphic terms. Jesus taught that in Hell the wicked suffer terribly, are fully conscious, retain their desires and memories and reasoning, long for relief, cannot be comforted, cannot leave their torment, and are bereft of hope. The Savior could not have painted a bleaker picture.

In Randy Alcorn's book, he emphasizes that Jesus speaks extensively about Hell, presenting it as a real and horrifying place. According to Jesus, Hell is not merely a symbolic concept but a location where the unrepentant endure severe suffering. Alcorn highlights that Jesus described the experience in vivid detail, suggesting that those in Hell have full awareness of their pain and suffering. They are conscious of their circumstances, cling to their desires and memories, and experience a deep yearning for relief that never comes.

The portrayal of Hell as described by Jesus is one of absolute despair and torment. Alcorn points out that individuals in Hell cannot find comfort or escape, leaving them in a perpetual state of anguish with no hope for salvation. This bleak depiction serves as a stark warning about the consequences of wickedness and the serious nature of judgment, showing the profound impact of one's choices in life according to Christian teachings.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
