Christian, that's how you spell it.
Hell is a place God says is reserved for those that are wicked and the Devil. It is a place of eternal torment, death and distruction, these terms are to describe to us the enormity of hell, but regardlkess of the physical conditions of hell, the real punishment of hell is that it is a place without God. You will know of God, you will believe in God, you will even be allowed to see into heven, however you will not be able to associate with God.
Because God has made it so, He cannot go there He has made Hell this way. He is so Holy He can not be a part of the wickedness that hell is privy to.
We only preach what Jesus taught, and He preached more on Hell than He did on Heaven.
I hope this answers your question. I also hope that you know that you can avoid hell by realizing you are a sinner, and accepting the sacrifice of God, His Son Jesus as the ransom for yor sins. jesus died so tht you, me and all can have the eternal life God wants for us, but for those that choose otherwise, hell is the place they will go.

You have spelled Christians wrong. It is "C" not "K". Anyway, you are only partly right, Christians preach about the love of God and Heaven more times than we talk about hell. Its just that hell is what the unbeliever remembers the most. What do you base your idea about death on? How do you know that hell is death and the grave is cold? What is your experience on this idea?

Because for a desert people who are used to hot weather, heat causing death, burning seems an appropriate punishment.
In Judaism and Christianity, death leads to an afterlife; it is in this afterlife that people would suffer from hellfire and brimstone.

Christians teach that when you don't believe in God, you go to hell. You physically are burried, or cremated, but God has already paid for your sin, so YOU go to heaven. If you want to go to hell where there is "weeping and gnashing of teeth" all the power to you.

I've been going to church regularly for longer than I care to admit, and have NEVER heard anyone preach hell-fire & brimstone.
Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from heaven above
with wisdom, power and love.

Our Earth's core contains sulfer and lots of energy. If they even thought for an instant, the xtians would realize that their analogy would mean that heaven is as cold as ice.
nice!

You are kind of weird,no offence. Anyway,that would just be fundamentalists,never hear that fire & brimstone in any mainstream Protestant church - or Catholic either. You are stereotyping.
