I believe it's real, but it's not the same hell that the Christian's believe in. I think there are different levels of hell From the top down, and each level gets worst as you go down, And it not all ways fire and brimstone either. You'll get repeated torture depending on what you did. Only the truly evil go down to the lower levels (like Hilter). Also I believe you don't stay there forever either. To stay in hell forever means that God is unforgiving and doesn't care. How long you spend in hell depends on what level you're in. The lower the level the longer you stay. And after your time in hell is up, you'll get reincarnated but not as a human. You'll come back as one of the lowest forms of life and then work your way up until you become human again.
Some people stay in hell for a short time and some stay in hell for a long time. But hell is not a place you want to go to even for a second...
But that's just my opinion....

Hell is definitely real. In Revelation, it talks about all of the names of the poor souls in the world who never knew Christ. They were then cast in the "Lake of Fire" (Hell). Hell is very, very real, and is something not to be joked about. The expression, " Go to hell!'' is an expression that should not be said to a person's worst enemy. I'm sorry if I sound like a " Jesus Freak" and all, but it's the truth.

I don't just believe it, it's TRUE.
Hell is real. Read what a former non-believer in hell has to say "Several years ago a book was published, entitled Beyond Death's Door by Dr. Maurice Rawlings. Dr. Rawlings, a specialist in Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Disease, resuscitated many people who had been clinically dead. Dr. Rawlings, a devout atheist, "considered all religion "hocus-pocus" and death nothing more than a painless extinction". But something happened in 1977 that brought a dramatic change in the life of Dr. Rawlings! He was resuscitating a man, terrified and screaming — descending down into the flames of hell:
"Each time he regained heartbeat and respiration, the patient screamed, "I am in hell!" He was terrified and pleaded with me to help him. I was scared to death. . . Then I noticed a genuinely alarmed look on his face. He had a terrified look worse than the expression seen in death! This patient had a grotesque grimace expressing sheer horror! His pupils were dilated, and he was perspiring and trembling — he looked as if his hair was "on end."
Then still another strange thing happened. He said,"Don't you understand? I am in hell. . . Don't let me go back to hell!" . . .the man was serious, and it finally occurred to me that he was indeed in trouble. He was in a panic like I had never seen before."
(Maurice Rawlings, Beyond Death's Door,(Thomas Nelson Inc., 1979) p. 3).
Dr. Rawlings said, no one, who could have heard his screams and saw the look of terror on his face could doubt for a single minute that he was actually in a place called hell!"

Hell is real. Not a place for eternal torment but a place that is symbolic of everlasting torment. It is a place to frighten people and to lead them to do the willing of those wanting worship for themselves.
Even Jesus himself went to Hell which is just another name for the common grave and like Jesus we too can be risen from this hell.

Absolutely, I believe it. There is no doubt. This world was intelligently designed, and in order for that, there has to be a "designer". And this designer has given us a guide book to live our lives. Written by holy men, inspired by Holy Spirt. So far, this book has survived 2000 years and will never date, as the words contained within are eternal.
Death is certain, salvation is not. Every person has a certain amount of time to make their minds up and change their lives. He has given us abudant proof of His existance, not just by the supernatural, but in nature itself. Those who choose to remain blind, to resist God's gift of salvation, are free to choose Hell. For rejecting an eternal God, means rejecting all that is off Him. Hell is everything opposite of good and the suffering will be beyond imagination. Christ spoke more on Hell, than he did Heaven. This is how much He wants to keep people OUT of it. But even God cannot force Himself on a person. How frightening it will be for the soul that scoffs and never learns to change, to die and find themselves there. "All ye who enter here, abandon all Hope".
We are without excuse, and can be cut off from life at any time.
I wouldn't wish Hell on anybody, not even my worst enemy. Who can fathom eternity? To take even the slightest gamble on hope that it doesn't exist, is beyond foolish, it is absolutely unthinkable. This life is so short, but it is surely a test. I wonder how many people here who say "I don't believe" "I don't care", actually for one remote second even contemplate the fact of death, the fact that they really cannot be 100% certain Hell doesn't exist, so in actual fact that means that they cannot be 100% certain they won't wind up there. I'd rather die and be wrong and end up in a grave no longer existing, than to die an atheist and be wrong, only to find out it doesn't stop at bodily death.

Do you beleive there's nothing else after we die?
I say there IS something after we die so, yes there is a hell, but there's also a heaven. You decide where to go. How? Simple, just read the bible (John 3:16 for instance).

Jesus said it is a real place of real eternal torment and anguish.
So why should I believe the clueless atheists who try to convince us otherwise....what do they know ?

Well, you see...
Heaven is real.
What is not real is most of the things people have made up in regard of it.
