if heat rises?

Uh, oh - don't ask religious people to think!

It might hurt.

Great question! Actually, the concept of hell was changed by the Catholics after Emperor Constantine made Chrisianity the official religion of Rome. The original Hebrew "gehena" ("sheol" in Greek) refers to a place outside the city where the Israelites burned their trash. The fire would never go out because things were continually being thrown there (kind of like the tire fire on the Simpsons); but, it's important to know that what was thrown in there was destroyed--as opposed to being tortured forever as in the Catholic invention of hell. So, to answer your question, no, hell shouldn't be cold.

IF heat rises in heaven then hell will be cold.

Don't go to Heaven too late, the temperature is rising.

If late, consider Hell, cooler

Question from an college exam:

"Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with a proof."

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we postulate that if souls exist, then they must have some mass. If they do, then a mole of souls can also have a mass. So, at what rate are souls moving into hell and at what rate are souls leaving? I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for souls entering hell, lets look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Some of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to hell. Since there are more than one of these religions and people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all people and all souls go to hell.

With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in hell to increase exponentially.

Now, we look at the rate of change in volume in hell. Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in hell to stay the same, the ratio of the mass of souls and volume needs to stay constant.

So, if hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter hell, then the temperature and pressure in hell will increase until all hell breaks loose.

Of course, if hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in hell, than the temperature and pressure will drop until hell freezes over.

Where do you think hell is? I assume below. What if hell is not even real? Then you don't have to worry if it's hot or cold.

Just like the torment souls, the heat is trapped.

if heat rises, shouldn't the core of the earth be cold?

well, it's not, is it?

well, you would think so, but then again maybe hell is not really below us then... Do we really even know where it is

Yes, that is why you can not believe these Jesus freaks. Everything they say is a lie.
