It is a confirmed fact that Mother Earth is not hell although some of the experiences on Mother Earth seem like hell. While proceeding on the spiritual path I do not know how many times I had to eat hell for breakfast... how many contemplations of suicide! Life in the cosmic system is like that... human beings are but a pawn in the hands of God Almighty!
Both heaven and hell are interim stages in the cosmic life cycle. When matching parents are not available on Mother Earth... the soul atman hibernates either in heaven or hell. In heaven... if the residual balance of karma is positive and hell if negative! Heaven (aka Swarga in Hinduism) exists in the core of sun where temperatures exceed millions of degrees centigrade.
It is in such temperatures the soul atman feels comfortable. Hell (aka Naraka in Hinduism) exists in the periphery of the sun where temperatures are considerably less. It is in such low temperatures the soul atman suffers in eternity. No human being can ever travel to heaven or hell bodily.
Never from heaven or hell can the soul atman directly go to the kingdom of God (aka Baikuntha in Hinduism). Whenever human beings gain enlightenment (kaivalya jnana) and salvation (moksha)... the liberated soul atman finally enters the abode of God... the kingdom of God. Only in the human form the soul atman finally regains its prime pristine original pure form.
The human form is the highest manifest stage in the cosmic life cycle. Sufferings on Mother Earth are part of life. When the heated rod is beat... it is time for sufferings! When the shaped rod is immersed in cold water... it is time for experiencing happiness! Both sufferings and happiness are inbuilt in the cosmic structure. In absence of one the other could not exist.

Sure there are plenty of bad things here on earth. But there is more good than bad. If I were in Hell I would not have so many people around me that I love. This life is not easy, but it is compared to what hell will be like.

The word hell mentioned in the book of Revelations is
#86 in Strong's Greek Exhaustive Concordance and
means grave. When death is done away, so will hell be.
It says in the Old Testament that it never entered God's
mind to have children thrown into the fire as was the
pagan practice of some. No, God is a God of mercy
and His fire doesn't torment, but cleanses as does a
refining fire.

If you belive God gave us the bible you would know that way. At the end he throws hell, the lost, and the earth into the lake of fire.

Hell, like heaven, is not only a state of existence, but a literal, and very real, place. It is a place where the unrighteous will experience never-ending, eternal wrath from God. They will endure emotional, mental, and physical torment, consciously suffering from shame, regret, and contempt.
Hell is described as a bottomless pit (Luke 8:31, Revelation 9:1), and a lake of fire, burning with sulfur, where the inhabitants will be tormented day and night forever and ever (Revelation 20:10). In hell, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, indicating intense grief and anger (Matthew 13:42). It is a place “where the worm never dies and the fire never goes out” (Mark 9:48). God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but desires them to turn from their wicked ways so that they can live (Ezekiel 33:11). But He will not force us into submission; if we choose to reject Him, He has little choice but to give us what we want – to live apart from Him.

The same way that we know that Heaven is not actually confined with an ice cream cone on the sidewalk in Pittsburg during the 30th of September in the year of 1974, and that it is solely confined to point in space and time, from which comes its intradimensional eternity. We do not know, is what I am trying to say.
