It all depends on your concept of hell, your using the typical Christian view point of a fiery pit with a some horned beast...who knows what it could be like, but the point is that some believe there is a specific place for people who don't deserve a good afterlife...and there plenty of twisted/evil people in this world and they have to go somewhere.

Jeremiah 7:30 says ‘For the sons of Judah have done what is bad in my eyes,’ is the utterance of Jehovah. ‘They have set their disgusting things in the house upon which my name has been called, in order to defile it. 31Â And they have built the high places of To′pheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hin′nom, in order to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire, a thing that I had not commanded and that had not come up into my heart.’
If burning children is disgusting in God's eyes why would he create hell as a place of torture? Well, he did not.
The teaching of Fiery hell torment came from religious leaders who wanted to sow fear in the hearts of many.
I follow a loving God, not a tormenting one.
Romans 6:23 says “The wages sin pays is death.” Death is not merely a natural fruit of sin, but its just punishment, an expression of divine justice.
When one dies, he already paid for his sins, no need to pay for it in torment.
Hell literally means grave/burial ground.

Hell is eternal separation from God. The burning torture is just one aspect of the suffering.

Hell is not morally correct. There is no point punishing someone infinitely for finite sins. That is why I know that if an all-loving God exists, he is either a hypocrite or there is no hell.

There is no Hell. Such an abomination could not possibly exist in a universe created by such a loving being as God.

God is a loving god.
It is crazy to think that a LOVING god would torment someone for eternity. The crime does not fit the punishment. God is fair as well. Plus, God does not want people to love him against their will.

God is the only one to decide who he condemns. not even Christians have that right. God is loving and i believe (on the contrary) that people are not judge based on religion alone. There are some genuine non believers who do no wrong to humanity. i dont believe my God would condemn them to hell.

It's a place for someone to go who chooses not to be with God. God does not torment people there. Satan gets that pleasure.

Just another lie that religion tells about God.
Don't get mad at God for the lies that they tell.
