A fictional realm created in the minds of believers of organized religion worldwide, where the wicked are supposedly punished for their earthly sins. The clergy of religions that believe in this (e.g. Christianity) reference to this place as a method of mind control to enforce their standards of morals upon their gullible believers.

Is this hell?

FALSE as you state.
If you are speaking of hell, the original Hebrew meaning of hell was used in that period of history to describe the grave.
The gave is real and you will be there at some point in time, with or without a saved soul, as all on earth die a physical death.
Make it a great day!

It depends on who you ask. It is very difficult to prove it. It is true for me.
You also ask if this is hell. if the first question is a yes then it would mean that there is no hell either.
I mock hell all the time. Hell is anything you wan it to be.
I don't mock faith. It helps some people feel comforted..even if there's never an answer to their prayers...."God works in mysterious ways" seems like "good" explanation for everything.

This is not a true statement only because of the fact that it is not used as mind control. God is just and fair, so He will not let the unrighteous go unpunished, now the place that he will send the ungodly is called hell and it is the same place the devil will be bound

If the (wicked=Christian clergy) + (punished=allowed to rape kids or have many wives) + (standards of morals=same as previous item) then it all = Utah.

Did you ever notice that when you see a Cross it reminds you of Jesus?? Or did you ever notice that when you see three Crosses on a hill it reminds of Jesus at Calvery dieing for you and for me. Our sins crucified Jesus on that Cross. He willingly layed down his life to save yours. There is nothing fictional about it and you know it. The question is will you decide to serve Jesus or will you continue to serve the devil, Jesus said you are either for me or against me, there is no in between. As of right now unless you have been born again you are a condemned person. A sinner, and without the atoneing blood of Christ to cover your sins you will spend eternity with the devil in a lake of fire. The Bible says choose whom you will serve this day, You can make the decision right now to follow Christ, or you can just move on, its up to you, If you would like to be saved Pray this sinners prayer believing in Jesus and he will make you born again, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you have any questions just send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

I'd say you are taking the tenets of the Christian religion far, far too literally and coming up with the nonsense that is usually the result of taking something too literally.

As I survey life from the bottom up, I find many difficulties of those who oppose my spiritual endeavor.
