Many people think of hell being a fiery pit, or a torture session. Hell is however, more traditionally, a separation from God. I do not believe in Hell. I believe that everything serves their purpose as they were supposed to and when they die the join the creator.

Well, there are a lot of versions:
Bible (standard)- Sea of fire ans sulfur for the eternal torment of the damned.
Enoch (unofficial bible)- A "Forge" where the souls of the unjust and the fallen angels shall be "smithed" back into the divinity. (A more merciful ending, if you ask me, than eternal torment).
Modern (see beyond dreams)- Some state of consciousness residual from life where you suffer because of your flaws.
Buddhist- This world, no one can deny that there is a lot of suffering in life, actually "heaven" or Nirvana is just escaping the reincarnation cycle keeping us in this hell-world.
Norse (See Hel)- The place for the unworthy, contrary to Valhala, dark, cold, poisonous place.
Aztec (Mictlan)- Simply a dull dark place, took a trip of four years to get there and laked of joy. As in norse mythology dying in battle or giving birth gained you "heaven" and drowned people went somewhere else, in the aztec case, to something much like a warter park, where everyone was like childs playing with fountains, rivers and the spirits of rain and water.
And of course, we can forget futurama: "Hell is other robots". ;)

Hell, is a "cosmic garbage heap" . It is also the "devil's punishment" The devil isn't the "King" of hell or whatever people perceive. He dreds! going there and will try to deceive as many people as he can.
PS: Only Jesus talks about hell in the bible.
Now that you know more about "hell" what are going to do about it?

I think there is a Hell. I've always thought of Hell as a fiery camber in the center of the earth.

Yes, there is a real place called hell. It is a place that was created
for Satan and his followers. Just where is it located is unknown.
Some believe it is in the center of earth. Don't think when you die
that your body will just lay in a grave somewhere, The Bible
plainly tells us about hell.

It is being absent from the Spirit of God for all eternity. Out in the darkness with weeping and gnashing of teeth. Not nice. Jesus doesn't want you to spend eternity like that. Accept Him into your heart and be saved. Merry Christmas.

I Believe IT IS NOT knowing and understanding that we are divine spiritual creations one w/ Christ even before birth,that God has said we can do all he does and more,PROVIDED we are intentions and heart are pure and consciousness making an effort to become more like the Divine.

a lot of people believe in it as a place of fire and brimstone, but to me, it's a place where it is COLD. It's -81 all the time, and you are stuck in snow up to your neck, and you are at the point where the cold makes your skin sting, but it never quite gets numb, and you have that stinging cold feeling forever.
