I've heard that around 200,000 people die per day throughout the Earth. Either from old age, sickness, violence, or bad luck these people die. I've also read that it is much easier to end up in Hell than go to Heaven and wonder about how many people are right at this instant burning and gnashing their teeth in hellifire. From all the Medieval pictures of Hell that I've seen in the cathedrals around here, it is a terrifying sight. Women getting raped by winged demons and a gigantic Satan sitting on a throne shoving people into his fanged mouth.

There is not and never can be any meaningful estimate, given that we don't know with certainty that any specific individual is in hell. If we can't even make that statement with certainty, how can we possibly talk about numbers?
And, while such pictures are based on an artist's imagination, not on reality, we can be sure that hell is far worse than anything the human mind can imagine, just as heaven is far more wondrous and glorious than anything the human mind can imagine.
