Defintion of hell. Well its the things you go through for the things that you do. Like karma. Say for instance you have sex with someone with out protection. Some would worry until they know for sure that everything was ok. The hell is in the nights and days of stress, paranoia, pain, lack of eating ect. If heavens what we make it, then hell is what we go through. Just punishment, Just reward for every aspect of the things you do.

Is Hell a Just punishment for sin?
Have you ever seen someone tortured?Ihope not. Deliberate torture is sickening and abhorrent. What, though,of torture inflicted by God? Can you imagine such a thing?
Yet, this is exactly what is implied by the teaching of hellfire, an official doctrine in many religions.
Imagine, for a moment, the following horrific scene. A person is being roasted on a hot iron plate. In his agony he screams for mercy, but nobody listens, the torture goes on and on hour by hour, day by day---without any pause!
Whatever crime the victim may have commited, would not your heart go out to him? What of the one who ordered the torture? Could he be a loving person? In no way! Love is merciful and shows pity. A loving father may punish his children, but he would never torture them!
Never theless, many religions teach that God tortures sinners in eternal hellfire. This is claimed, is devine justice. If this is true, who created that terrible place of eternal torment? And who is responsible for the excruciating agonies inflicted there? The answer would seem obvious. If such a place really exists, then God would have to be creator of it, and he would be responsible for what happens there.
Can you accept that? The Bible says:" God is love."(1John4:8) Would a God of love inflict torture that even humans with any measure of decency find revolting? Surely not!
Still, many believe that the wicked will go to a fiery hell and be tormented forever. Is this teaching logical? The human lifespan is limited to 70 or 80 years. Even if some one perpetrated extreme wickedness for his whole lifetime, would everlasting torment be a just punishment?No it would be grossly unjust to torment a man forever for thelimited number of sins that he can commit in a lifetime.Who knows the truth about what hapens after we die?Only God can reveal this information, and he has done so in his written Word, the Bible, refered to above. Here is what the Bible says."As the [beast]dies, so the man dies; and they all have but one spirit....... All are going to one place. They have all come from the dust, and they are all returning to the dust(Ecclesiastes3:19,20)There is no mention here of a fiery hell. Humans return to dust----to nonexistance----when they die.
In order to be tormented an individual must be conscious. Are the dead conscious?No"The living are conscious that they will die, but as for the dead they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten."(Ecclesiastes9:5) It is impossible for the dead."conscious of nothing at all," to experience the agonies of hellfire. So my definition is that the type of hell that is taught in mainstream religion is non existant in truth

I liked the answer about God not being there, and if God's not there, it's just the worst thing in the world!!! Not in the world, but I guess you can imagine the worst things ever and that's what hell is like. I'm still wondering if when people die, will they go to hell or just be dead.

Hell. (hel).
proper noun. 1. A nonexistant place, a portion of the Christian and Islam faiths describing an illogical infinite punishment for finite sin. Not present in Judiasm. "If you don't believe in Jesus/Allah, you will go to Hell."
expletive. 1. Generally used word devoid of its genuine original intention, a general bad place. "Go to fvcking hell, you loser!" "This place looks like hell!"

Eternal Damnation.
Forever of the worst things that one could possibly imagine.
Your soul being ripped into millions of pieces, then put back together, just so it can be ripped apart again.
