Don't you just wish there was such a place. Sorry to tell you, there isn't.
SINCE “HELL” MEANS THE “GRAVE”
Webster’s Dictionary says that the English word “hell” is equal to the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades.
English translators of the Authorized Version, or King James Version, translated Sheol 31 times as “hell,” 31 times as “grave,” and 3 times as “pit.” The Catholic Douay Version translated Sheol 64 times as “hell.” In the Christian Greek Scriptures “New Testament”, the King James Version translated Hades as “hell” each of the 10 times it occurs..
The question is: What kind of place is Sheol, or Hades? The fact that the King James Version translates the one Hebrew word Sheol three different ways shows that hell, grave and pit mean one and the same thing. And if hell means the common grave of mankind, it could not at the same time mean a place of fiery torture. Well, then, do Sheol and Hades mean the grave, or do they mean a place of torture?
Acts 2:31 uses Hades. Notice, too, that Jesus Christ was in Hades, or hell. Are we to believe that God tormented Christ in a hell of fire? Of course not! Jesus was simply in his grave.
Good people go to the Bible hell. For example, the good man Job, who was suffering a great deal, prayed to God: “O that in Sheol [grave, King James Version; hell, Douay Version] you would conceal me, . . . that you would set a time limit for me and remember me!” (Job 14:13) Now think: If Sheol means a place of fire and torment, would Job wish to go and spend his time there until God remembered him? Clearly, Job wanted to die and go to the grave that his sufferings might end.
In all the places where Sheol occurs in the Bible it is never associated with life, activity or torment. Rather, it is often linked with death and inactivity. For example, think about Ecclesiastes 9:10, which reads: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [grave, King James Version; hell, Douay Version], the place to which you are going.” So the answer becomes very clear. Sheol and Hades refer not to a place of torment but to the common grave of mankind. (Psalm 139:8) Good people as well as bad people go to the Bible hell.
Can people get out of hell? What did Jonah mean by “out of the belly of hell”? Found at Jonah 2:1,2 King James Bible, well, that fish’s belly was surely not a place of fiery torment. But it could have become Jonah’s grave. The marginal reference in King James Bible for this scripture says: "hell, means the grave"

Nah, just one for folks that say, don't worry about it, there is no heaven or hell. Relax man, take it easy, everyone has to figure out their own way to God. Those are the folks who have a special extra hot corner.

Yes, and they are down there looking up at all the aetheists, agnostics with one hand stretching up out of the fiery inferno pleading for us to save them and forgive them for all their degrading, condescending attitudes that they have relentlessly thrown at us.

No, there isn't. Christians who believe in Jesus Christ as their savior will be in Heaven. It's not my word, but the word of God who promises this to those of us who believe.
