Y'all seem to have me going there, now prove it without the bible.....you can't prove the bible with the bible, therefore the bible is not proof. On the look out for some 'well you are going to hell' blah blah.......Proof, or don't answer. Ready, lets see....

I can't do it because I'm not that smart, but I can reference someone who got about as close as could be in this theoretical realm who worked from the perspective *assuming* that there was a literal hell. I would give credit but I don't know where this came from.

This is about the physics of hell...
A true story. A thermodynamics professor had written a take home exam for his graduate students. It had one question:
"Is hell exothermic or endothermic? Support your answer with 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, let's 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.
The student got an A on the exam.

To the believer no answer is needed, to the unbeliever, no answer will suffice.
Believe or don't, it is ultimately your call, but I really don't see the need to bash those who do.
I will, however, come to your defense. No one here on earth has the power to say who is going to Hell or Heaven. That is a decision that God alone will make and anyone who says you are going to hell isn't much of a Christian to begin with.

Can you prove hell?
No ,
No one can prove that hell, heaven, superman, gods or unicorns actually exist. Does that mean
they don't exist , probably.

I cannot prove beyond all shadow of a doubt that Hell exists. Can you prove beyond all shadow of doubt that it does not?
