All the saints are there. And I'll tell you why:
Just try and imagine all the best and most generous people in the world. Now tell them that there is a place where others are suffering endlessly. Can you even imagine all these good people dining on biscuits and lounging around while they know this torment is going on?
I can't. They will BEG to be sent to Hell as soon as they can. Maybe they can't stop the suffering, but they will try to ease it. That's just what good people do.

I agree with one of the answers above which states that according to the Bible there is no hell... and that's what I believe. Satan and his buddies were banished to earth; hence, hell is on earth. What more hell do you want, wars, genocides, racism, hunger in a place where there is so much food, thirst, lack of education, extreme poverty, orphans, cruelty among each other, rapes, assassinations, mental illnesses... do you really think there is a worst place than this? Hell is here and now and someday we'll have the power to get out of it, I hope.
Think about it... is there any other living creature that does so wrong to others of its same kind?

If you believe the words in the bible, then you would know that there is no hell; because when Satan and his demons were casted out of heaven they were banished to earth. People believe that hell is this inferno as in Dante's Inferno or that other book about hell and Satan raising an army to overtake heaven. The realistic thing about this question is that you must take it upon yourself and believe whats in your heart. Is hell a physical place or is just a state of mind, where you must remain for eternity in agony? You decide.

It could be a fire burning pit with 7 levels, etc....like popular religious beliefs dictate, but it can also be either one of 2 things:
(1) A never ending enjoyment of sin (like lust, envy, sloth, etc...) where the people are free to enjoy themselves, but only in sin
(2) Much like Earth is now---pehaps we are living in hell, or else hell is not much different than earth
***But for Al Bundy, it's an eternity with his family

Is Hell A Real Place?
By CBN.com
CBN.com -- WHAT IS HELL LIKE?
There are two descriptions of hell in the Bible. One is of a burning fire. Jesus often used the word GEHENNA to describe hell. Gehenna was the refuse dump outside Jerusalem that was always on fire. Jesus said hell was a place of worms, maggots, fire, and trouble. From that we get the image of a lake of fire and the concept of perpetual burning. The evil ones there are full of remorse and torment (see Mark 9:43-48).
Jesus also said that hell would be "outer darkness." He said that some in His day "will be cast out into outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth" (Matthew 8:12, see also Matthew 22:13). Here the image is one of terrible loneliness. There will be separation from God and man. Those who are consigned to hell will be put out into the inky blackness of eternity, with nobody to turn to, nobody to talk to, and they will be constantly alone. They will suffer the remorse of knowing they had the opportunity to come into heaven with God but turned it down.
The Bible speaks of a lake of fire reserved for the devil and his angels (see Matthew 25:41). Human beings were never intended to go into hell. But the ones who choose to reject God will one day follow Satan right into hell.
There will be no exit from hell, no way out, no second chance. That is why it is so important in this life to receive the pardon that God extends to all men through the cross of Jesus Christ.

If one has to assume that such worlds as 'hell' or 'heaven' exists, one would also assume that it was filled with fire,molten lava, a lot of people chained to walls enjoying a lot of kinky bondage action with whips and chains with the devil's little helpers while the devil enjoys himself punishing the damned for all eternity.

If it exists, I go along with the statement, "Burn In Hell".

If hell exists, it is within you as is heaven.
