I understand that in Hell you itch and can't scratch, you burn, you rot, you have worms, you suffer painful farts, and you have to endure the hideous screams of other tortured souls, and you will never get out. This last point is debatable, so can give me some info on this?

Please don't forget my favorite, the gnashing of many small sharp tiny teeth.
Those delightful brimstone fumes wafting from the River Styx. We can't forget those.

Hell should be understood in at least two senses. One is the temporary abode in the spirit world of those who were disobedient in this mortal life. It is between death and the resurrection, and persons who receive the a lower glory will abide there until the last resurrection, at which time they will go to this lower glory. In this sense spiritual death is hell. Hell, as thus defined, will have an end, when all the captive spirits have paid the price of their sins and enter into a degree of glory after their resurrection.
An everlasting hell, on the other hand, the devil and his angels, including the sons of perdition, are assigned to a place spoken of as a lake of fire - a figure of eternal anguish. This condition is sometimes called hell in the scriptures (2 Pet. 2: 4). This kind of hell, which is after the resurrection and judgment, is exclusively for the devil and his angels, and is not the same as that consisting only of the period between death and resurrection. The one group are redeemed from hell and inherit some degree of glory. The other receive no glory. They continue in spiritual darkness. For them the conditions of hell remain.

You would have to be alive in order to be able to feel the things that you had described. The Bible says: "For 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. All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She'ol, the place to which you are going." (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10) The dead do not have the five senses that the living has. So "hell' is mankind's common grave. The only way that they can be released from "hell" or the grave, is to be resurrected.

The degree of punishment will be commensurate with one's sin against the light which one has received.
One good passage that indicated degrees of punishment is Luke 12:47-48: "That servant who know his master's will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be BEATEN WITH MANY BLOWS. But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be BEATEN WITH FEW BLOWS. From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked". Other verses on this issue include MAT 10:15; 16:27; Rev. 20:12,13; 22:12.
Jesus affirmed that the wicked "will go away to ETERNAL punishment, but the righteous to ETERNAL life" (Mat 25:460

There's nobody in Hell. It doesn't exist. It's just a part of the carrot and stick strategy that religions use to gain converts. They entice you with rewards of Heaven, cajole you with emotional stories of people dying for you, and threaten you with eternal damnation. It's all a guilt trip mind game.
There are no gods. There is no Hell. There is no Heaven. There's no devils, demons, souls, spirits, ghosts, angels, fairies or leprechauns, either.

No once you get there you will be there for eternity. It says it very clearly that you will have eternal life. IF you are in heaven you will live you eternal life there but if you are in hell you will live you eternal life there. So you better get your life straight and live for god so you can have eternal life in heaven and not in hell. Its not a place where you want to go!

Upon drawing your last breath your fate is sealed forever.
No mulligans.
It's either heaven, where you would never want to leave, or hell, where you cannot.
