I use my mind every second of every day therefore I choose to believe that i have one.
I have never seen hell, I have never felt hell, in fact I have never experienced hell in any way.
Then I ask my self how do I know about hell?
I know about hell because my parents told me about it when i was young.
Then I ask my self: How do they know about hell?
They learned about it from the bible.
Why should I believe the bible?
Because it was written by god.
How do we know that?
Because it is written in the bible.
What? We know that the bible is written by god because the bible says so?
After I realized that this logic is circular and does not make sense I have become reasonably sure that there is no hell.
Hope this answers your question.

Yes. But it is not a physical place, it can only be a mental state. The same with heaven. I don't beleive that we go to a physical place called heaven or hell when we die. I beleive that the soul returns within another physical form after death. Yes, I beleive in the power of the mind. It is hard to say if I beleive only in science. I beleive that there are many things out there that are real, but science has not found away to explain them yet. Many things have gone against what is considered the norm, and what we beleive to be possible. Yet we cannot ignore these special cases, because if it happened even once, then of course it is possible. To rely only on science, you would have a hard time beleiving these things, they would seem mystical, because there has been no explanation for them yet. But that does not mean that one does not exist, and that one day it will not be discovered.

Believe in Hell?
No, there can be no hell in the superstitious sense of “place of eternal damnation.”
No system in the universe can have infinite eternal energy, so it is not possible for any exothermic or endothermic location to be eternal. Therefore, Hell, as it is portrayed by religions, cannot exist.
Interesting facts…
The word "hell" has ancient roots in several languages, but most likely comes from Norse or Old English. Hell was always described as a freezing cold abyss, was associated with extremely cold places, not hell fire and brimstone.
That perverse concept of fire and eternal torture did not come into vogue until after Dante's "Divine Comedy." It is curious how the modern Christian version differs diametrically from the original meaning. There is no mention of that type of place in the bible. There is mention of gehenna, which has been mistranslated to mean hell.
Believe in the mind?
Yes, of course. The mind obviously exists. There is ample evidence. All the evidence is consistent. There are no contradictions. There can be no controversy. The mind exists.
Hell on Earth?
Certainly, there are starving children who are living in a type of hell right now. There are soldiers living in a type of hell this instant. There are jobs, marriages, diseases, lies, and political corruption that all create various hellish living conditions. These are all the creation of man. The concept of hell in the afterlife is man-made too.
Believe in Science ONLY?
Science is not a “belief.” Science does not ask for or require any form of belief. It is a method of logic and experimentation. Scientists are real people who use scientific methods to makes hypotheses, conduct experiments and examine results. Science postulates, but never believes. Science, as a rigorous discipline and method, is definitely real. The computer you used to write these questions, read this answer and the electricity that powers these things, all prove science exists.
Even if it were a belief system, science does not have the characteristic of dogma. Science never asks for belief in anything without incontrovertible proof, and then it still leaves room for doubt. It does not claim to know everything, as religions do. Science is the quest for ultimate truth, but no scientist claims to have found it yet.
So, in the sense that it is real, Yes! We all believe science exists. However, science has never and can never demand belief ONLY in itself.
Hell, is a religious concept founded on hubristic dogma that has no proof whatsoever.
The concepts of hell are manifold and differ from one religion to another, but in every case, hell is a nasty perverted idea. As such, it is obviously the product of nasty perverted minds.
Science is demonstrably real, and so, requires no belief whatsoever.
Healthy functioning minds do exist and never “believe” in anything without proof.
Only uneducated, stupid, sick minds could believe in the atrocity of an eternal hell.

No, I don't believe hell exists.
I do believe in the existence of a mind, but whether it is actually the brain or some ephemeral Other, I don't really know.
Earth is only hell if you make it so. In other words, no.
I believe in science and spirituality. Both are integral parts of our society. Flawed, but necessary.

Yes I KNOW heaven and hell both are real places of which you go for all eternity after you die here on earth. Depending on which one you go to depends on the person there self it is not by the good things you do that get you into heaven but by believing in the Lord Jesus Christ and asking him into you live as your personal Lord and Savior.

No I do not believe in hell, as I do not follow the Chrstian doctrine of beliefs. I do not believe in science either, as many things are left unexplained by science. I am a Witch.

I believe there will be a hell. Technically it isnt runningright now. There is a passage in the bible where it tells you hell is not burning right now.
