Do you think Robin Williams is in Hell for committing suicide?

Probably not. Catholics believe suicide when committed in full knowledge and deliberate consent is a complete turning away from God (a mortal sin) and will send a person to hell. There are 3 conditions of a mortal sin: grave matter, full knowledge, and deliberate consent.

While suicide (or any kind of murder) is always a grave matter, people who commit suicide may not always have full knowledge of what they're doing. Drugs can definitely impair one's thinking, as can other things, such as depression, diseases, intense pain, or anguish. Therefore, suicide is not automatically treated as a mortal sin.

We are commanded by Christ not to judge others so we leave final judgment to God who alone knows each person's heart. The Code of Canon Law does not list suicide as a reason to deny a person a Catholic funeral or burial in a Catholic cemetery. http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__... http://www.holycrosscemeteries.com/faq/#... http://home.att.net/~faithleap/suicide.h... For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church on mortal sin, paragraphs 1857-1859, and on suicide, paragraphs 2282-2283.

With love in Christ.

None of us really know what happens when you commit suicide. For all we know nothing happens and there isn't an afterlife at all (I don't personally believe this but you probably will get some answers like this). I'd like to think that he isn't, that he's in purgatory at least.

He was innately a good person and because of that I hope that he isn't in hell but there is no way to tell you for sure. If it really bothers you and you believe in prayer, praying for his soul to find rest might be helpful.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
