It's a scary thought, but I do believe in hell. I'm just not sure what it's like.

I live near DC, so it can't be much worse.

For king David and the million like him Acts 2:27-31 I do not believe they have a complaint.
For the angels that sinned before the flood and Luke 20:34-36 angels do not die, Jude 6; 1Pet.3:18-20; 2Pet.2:4 they are no complaining, Jesus paid them a visit they just cant repeat what they did Gen.6:2,4 but they wait for the judgement day and saints will judge them 1Cor.6:2,3;
This hell is long past 2Chr.28:1-4; Jer.7:30,31; 19:2-5; Human sacrifice Mark 9:42-48 Death and burial by fire or burial by fire. Matt.10:28 the resurrection can be out of it.
Rev.21:1-5 all is made new and 8 is the second death Rev.20:1-6 the heavenly body is judge over the 12,13 earthly body and Rev.20:7-10 is the final cleansing.

Some think you are already living it (hell) on this plane of existence, and you'll keep coming back (reincarnating) until you pay off all of the karma (good and bad deeds) you've created lifetime after lifetime. Eventually you'll get it all right and ascend into the Kingdom of Heaven.
Makes a lot more sense to me than having one lifetime to get it all right, or you are banished to a fiery Hell for eternity.
(Would a loving God do that to us?)

There are levels of hell where there are people packed in with literally no room to move.
There is another level where there is constant smoke and haze and you have this horrible fear all the time
There is another place where souls burn forever, but cannot die, and they are lifted up and settle back down, both ash and fodder for that fire.
There is a level where you are tortured, forced to eat live poisinous snakes and toads, or have molten metal poured down your throat. Anything can be done to you, and you will survive and you will realize that it will never end, and you will curse everyone you knew because they did not tell you how bad it was. And you will curse God, because He didn't tell you how bad it was going to be.
I'm telling you. And now you know.
And one more thing. Your soul is 1000 times more sensitive than your human body.

I don't believe in Hell, but if it existed, it would be a place that had reruns of the Brady Bunch on large wall screens that you couldn't turn off. On weekends they would play Yoko Ono really loudly and the Devil would read GW Bush quotations.

i sympathize with you. when I was the most afraid of hell, it was as if I was there. there was this fear that was inescapable. it was torturous to think that there was no help, no one to give mercy, no place to go that was safe. it was frightening to think that everyone i might encounter was there to attack me, humiliate me, and cause me increased suffering. to believe in this hell causes me to reflect it in my association with others, makes me withdraw, fills me with shame, makes it hard to trust. believing in hell is more than believing in the afterlife. it affects your perception here in now. the only solution is to focus on heaven. what is the most wonderful place to you? is it like hawaii where they say hello and goodbye and i love you all at once? the sunny beaches? is it friendly waves and hugs, people who can trust you and know that you are trying your best and encourage you to be your best? perhaps it could be alaska where, even though it is cold, everyone depends on each other to protect each other from danger and they steer you away from fears and into the warmth of an igloo, rubbing noses sharing the closeness of each other for comfort and safety. no one is perfect, but hell is for the one who expects perfection from their self and others. look over the flaws. give thanks for everything beautiful and heaven will find you.

Hell doesn't have to refer to fire all the time. It can also be thought as suffering or punishment.
Be a good person.

Definitely, it will be much better or a little worst than the present world. Hope for the best, but why for the worst?

Whose to say you're not in hell right now? Whose to say this isn't all just someone's dream? Hmmm....
