Krishna is all merciful!
He created Karma,or the law that makes you pay exactly for what you did wrong:an eye for an eye!
A bomb for a bomb!
So....be careful of your actions!

Get off the crack pal!
Fire is an ancient spiritual symbol for purification, there is real meaning behind these writing, but they at not at all about God torturing people. You simply misunderstand the symbols of these texts! Jesus does also talk about reincarnation when he says that John The Baptist's spirit was that of a previous Prophet. Remember Jesus talks about the secrets of Heaven and such things as this. Many truths are hidden in these texts and not easily seen through language translation. Especially since the people who translated them did not understand much ancient ways of language. Learn more about ancient writings. Then read Biblical texts more openly and patiently and you will gain a better vision of what is being said!

There's no way to know this since we can't experience the actual hell until we go there. No scripture I know of has an explanation of the nuts and bolts of hell.
Many believers see hell as a symbolic description of God's punishment for a life in which a person has defied or denid God. While Dante describes hell, that's a poem that no religion accepts as scripture. You're asking a question that's impossible to answer. The better question is how can I live well and love well so that I'm not in hell after I die.

According to Islamic belief, yes God has created both Hell and Heaven. As a matter of fact He is not cruel at all. We were created for the sake of Worshiping Him only. If we don't do what He wants, then it is obviously that we have to rot into Hell as our punishment. The Hell fire itself is 15 times more powerfull than an average match flame. So just imagine how badly it will burn you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Check the site below,,,,
We are filled with horror at all this ghoulish spiel. Is there no way we can avoid these fires of hell? We know from practice that it is impossible for us to refrain from committing sin, one way or the other, for, Sin seems such an all-encompassing word. Even a smile of derision at some one wearing TirumaN, even a word in a lighter vein making fun of someone’s orthodoxy, even a single thought coveting someone else’s belonging—all these would reserve for us a place in hell. Given the impossibility of strict adherence to divine dicta in the present day and age, how then can we avoid falling into the fires of hell?

No.... Hell fire is like a "bon fire" if you will.....
consider Rev 20:12 which speaks of two kinds of books. One is known by name, and the other is plural (book).... the book of Life is the book that is known by name...
Much like the riders of the apocalypse only one is known by name and his name is death....
The difference between the Book of Life and the rider of the apocalypse is Life and Death.... ((big difference))......
Anyhoo..... the "books" (plural) is what men are judged out of....
Anytime a book is not worthy to be read, they are usually burned in a fire....... thus is the purpose of the lake of fire.....
Judgement is the time it is brought forth.......
God does not want to see anyone tormented.... He is seeing mankind going through torment just living... So, He shortened man's lifespan......
Hellfire, does not exist in its present state....

Re-read your bible, no such place as hell as that is a fantasy that man himself as created.
God states in the bible.....you will be cast from my presence into a lake of fire to cease to exist in my presence.
Meaning...your soul and your existance will vanish, you will no longer exist in good or bad, just gone. That is the torture you will suffer. No such thing as a place of fire, lakes of lava, demons, devils pulling you apart and causing pain. All created by man as a form of fear to follow the word of God.

It's not cruelty. it's justice. God sent so many messengers to warn people that this day is coming and that they should prepare for it but they turned away and worshiped things they've invented.
God never punishes without sending so many warnings.
And he has indeed started the fire of Hell and left it burning for one thousand years until it became red. then burning for another one thousand years until it became white. then burning for another one thousand years until it became black.
