Hell, according to many religious beliefs, is a place or a state of pain and suffering. The English word "hell" comes from the Germanic "hel", which originally meant "to cover". "Hel" later referred to the goddess of the Norse underworld and daughter of Loki, Hel. Compare Anglo-Saxon helan, Greek kalyptein and Latin celare="to hide, to cover" (all from PIE *kel-).

According to many religions, the afterlife affords evildoers to suffer eternally. In some monotheistic doctrines, Hell is often populated by demons who torment the damned. The fallen angel Lucifer in Christian cultures, otherwise known as Satan, is portrayed in popular culture as the ruler of Hell. Christian theologians portray Hell as the final resting place for the Devil and the fallen angels (demons), prepared as their punishment by God. Hell is also defined as complete and final separation of God's love and mercy from sinners who have rejected his moral standards of goodness and have chosen to live a rebellious life of sin. Purgatory, as believed by Catholicism, is a place of penance for the sinner who has ultimately achieved salvation but has not paid penance for the sins committed in life. Hell on the contrary is commonly believed to be for eternity with no chance of redemption or salvation for those who suffer there. Some branches of the Christian faith teach it is a domain of boundless dimension, scope, and torment. Many monotheistic religions regard Hell as the absolute ultimate worst-case-scenario, per se. For some Gnostics including the Cathars hell was none other than this present life on earth. Furthermore, hell is sometimes thought by others to be a permanent state of unconsciousness for all eternity, i.e. permanent death. All ideas of Hell as a physical place existing in some kind of realm are regarded as antiquated myths by most modern scholars.[citation needed] Every account of Hell is usually interpreted as a purely symbolic way of describing states of mind causing pain and suffering, and the actions which supposedly result in one's soul being sent to Hell (i.e. the so called "sins") are precisely those actions that in everyday life cause those states of mind

i'm afraid that Hell is neither. it really is a condition a ways more desirable than an section. Sheol, the living house of the useless, has both reformatory and Paradise interior of it (in accordance to the Bible, besides). to understand more desirable ideal, Sheol is lack of life or the living house of the useless. Sheol corresponds all precise with the Underworld of Greek mythology, which also had its Elysian fields and its Tarterus. more desirable to the point, Lucifer became solid out of Heaven for revolt, yet he became thrown down into the international. there are a kind of evil spirits round, in case you're taking the thoughts of demonic possession heavily. Why were they no longer in Hell, if Hell is an inescapable reformatory? in the right, lack of life and hell are both solid into the lake of hearth and brimstone, symbolic of destruction. Sheol (consisting of Paradise and reformatory) ought to offer up the spirits in its draw close, and the graves and oceans of the international ought to provide up their corpses for the resurrection and the finest judgment. After that, lack of life and Hell no longer modern-day, the devils and the little children of Perdition must be solid out into Outer Darkness.

IF the standard views of Hell are clearly established in the Bible, then it is indeed necessary to find ways to justify how a loving, merciful God could conceive it necessary to endlessly torture people for eternity as "recompense" for whatever sins they committed in a short life-time. But IF the standard views are not supported from scripture, and instead are built on a foundation of human speculation, fables, uninspired writings, and perhaps even the twisted desire for vengeance in the minds of carnal men, then painting God as requiring such is utterly blasphemous.

According to the saying, "All happiness is in the mind" (English proverb), thus, the location of hell should be in one's mind since it's definitely the origin of happiness (heaven) and suffering (hell).

Well, if you are familiar with the Bible, it is briefly described as being in the middle of the earth. After the war between Good vs Evil, after God kicks satan's butt, God is going to lock satan in hell forever. Read The King James Version of the Bible, go to the back of the book in Revelation. Also the book of Genisis { I think} ,it talks about how satan came to be
