I believe there is not a literal fiery hell, but I do believe in at least a metaphorical hell of our own making. I believe that if there is any kind of hell, it can only be a place for temporary cleansing and purification. An eternal hell just makes no sense to me.

The Bible describes three hells.
SHEOL OR HADES, THE FIRST HELL
The first term in Greek and Hebrew means the grave. It's the grave where the dead await the resurrection.
GENESIS 37:35---I SHALL GO DOWN INTO THE GRAVE.
PROVERBS 15:11--HELL & DESTRUCTION ARE BEFORE THE LORD.
ECCLES.9:10---NO WORK...OR KNOWLEDGE...IN THE GRAVE,
MATT.11:23---WILL BE BROUGHT DOWN TO HADES
1COR.15:55---O HADES, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY
GEHENNA, THE SECOND HELL
The second term in New Testament means the place of fiery destruction of the wicked.
MATT.5:22--...BE IN DANGER OF HELL FIRE
MATT.10:28--TO DESTROY BOTH BODY AND SOUL IN HELL
TARTAROO, THE THIRD HELL
This third term is only used once and refers to the place of restraint where the demon spirits were placed following the rebellion against God.
2PETER 2:4---BUT CAST THEM DOWN TO HELL.

I heard somewhere (sorry don't remember where) that Hell may or may not be an actual physical place, but the worst aspect of Hell is eternal separation from God.

Yes, as well as a hevean. If anyone believed in a heaven or hell why in the world would they not want to follow God and live in heaven, do what you were born to do? i just dont understand.

Yes. If there's a heaven, which I'm pretty sure there is...then there must be a hell. It's also the future home of our president...

No that is a Christian Concept. Eternal damnation and a loving G-d do not go together.
