in my own opinion I would consider the world Hell as not a Bad word I think some people just over react to the word hell. Trust me there is other words out there way.... worse then the word Hell. To me I'm not trying to make anyone that thinks the word hell bad feel some type of way but, If anyone thinks that word is a Bad word then they better wake up or something. This world is full of bad words old bad words and new ones. If they like it or not I think it's normal.
-Would you consider the Word Hell as a Bad Word?
-Do you think that Bad words are part of EveryDay Life?
-Who do you think Created or Came up with Bad Words.?

I do not think Hell is a bad word at all, and like many have said there are words far worse than hell being used by people everyday. After all, would someone name a city after a bad word? Nope I don't really think so as I am from Michigan and there is a city called Hell. Just think if you had to give your address to people you'd say you lived in Hell, Michigan. Go ahead and look it up, it really exists!
I do think bad words are part of an everyday life and there's nothing we can really do about it. Some days I swear more than others, usually if I'm having quite a bad day or I'm pissed off. In my home growing up there wasn't a lot of swearing but it was still there at times, if someone got mad so I feel I picked it up from there.
I have often wondered at what point someone says "hey that's a bad word, you can't say it." I mean who was the person to say these words were bad and why were they bad. Some words that people consider bad might be part of an everyday conversation to someone else. If you've grown up with the words being said around you on a daily basis then obviously in your mind they're not bad. But everyone is different and everyone has been raised differently so there are always going to be different view points on what is bad and what is not.

I do not consider the word hell to be a bad word, not to me anyway, it is a word I do use.
There are far more words that I would consider to be bad! Bad words are a part of everyday life, well they are in mine. I admit I swear a lot, not in front of my kids but when they are not about I am terrible.

No, I don't consider it a bad word at all. It is a religious concept of a religion that I don't belong to, and it is also a word used to express annoyance or frustration.
I agree with you that there are lots of words that are stronger than Hell, although I don't understand why any of those are bad either. They are mainly words describing parts of the body or bodily functions, and I can't for the life of me see why they should be considered offensive, . It's a sad reflection of the society that we live in that we consider our bodies to be dirty or shameful.
It's people who have made these words into ugly words over the years; opinions on their origins vary, but most of them were probably quite innocent words at one time, whose meanings have changed with time.

Hell is not a bad word. For it lead sinners to repentance. Because of fear of hell many have repented from their sins and turn to God.

ok,hell is actually a place name,there is a hell in Norway and another in the U.S.,as has been mentioned.
if you knotice,basically the first words a child really learns to speak are clessed as swear words.
there are only a few religious groups that class hell or some other words as bad,mine does not recognise this or other christian words at all.
My suggestion to all that think of words as bad,should first,check the encylopedia to see if it is listed,if it is,what is the meaning?

Well, you may not now by my actualy name is Helen, and people have a tendancy to shorted in to Hel which i really do not like, and i tell people not to call me that. So i guess i would consider Hell to be a bad word but maybe not for the same reason as other people do. I think they are art of every day life but some words are worse thas other and i just wouldn't want to use them. I guess Hell is a bad word but not bad enough to never use.

i think one can consider world as hell if he/she is not happy with it
but if u r calling world as hell then might be something wrong thats what i can tell u here.
but simply at all no person is going to call world as hell, instead world is so beautiful with all good things n i know it also contains bad things but we need to overcome all those n make our surrounding world beautiful.
n i dont thing so bad words r created with the world but humans have created this words when they r in pain n want to remove all frustation out.
its the human who do all bad n all good it entirely depends on him to make use of the good brain given n make the world good instead of blaming destiny.

Actually to classify a bad word is very relative but we do have some list of words that are prohibited to speak or write (I was about to reply using those words but mylot said reword haha talk about bad words) Some words are bad in some culture and some are not. Some words are not to say in some places and some are just ok. like the word hell, it is not a bad word for me, but it is usually the word I used to describe when I been experiencing a lot of stress. Or sometimes I just used it to express something that is not acceptable for me. I don't know how you define bad words.. but for me it is something that when said to someone it draws out negative feelings. Or it is a word that makes you feel bad. Hell for me is a word that when I say it makes me feel good..I guess bad words are part of our daily routine, after all how would you describe a day full of mess without 'bad words".

No. It is simply a place, since when could a place actually be a swear word?!? It makes no sense. I mean it I say "Oh New York that was annoying" people will just think I am crazy. The only time I would consider it bad is if someone says "go to Hell" because they are telling them to go to a place of suffering and anguish which I do not promote.
Overall = my opinion = no.

for me it is a bad word... simply because it is associated with evil, not caring, unkind. it is an unkind word to say... when you say go to h*ll it't just like condemning that person, and that you just don't care whatever happens to him/her. but this word has been overused in everyday life that most people just see it as something ordinary. and the devil has just worked his way into many people's lives just because the "h*ll" is too ordinary that they might have forgotten it actually exists.
