Well, what does the Bible say about this subject? After all - what we believe is not important - we have to accept whatever our Creator has decided.
During the more than 40 years I have read the Bible, I have not seen any evidence of a place where humans would suffer forever.
It would really not be consistent to believe in a loving God and then think that he would allow that any of his children - no matter how badly they had behaved - would suffer forever.
If your child behaved badly, would you put the childĀ“s hand and burn it above a fire? Of course not.
For those who really want to learn the answers from the Bible, just go and read these articles: http://www.watchtower.org/e/20020715/article_02.htm

You base your belief in regard to Jehovah Witness. However this only contradicts to many of the beliefs thousands of years ago according to what the apostles spoke of and regard to what Christ spoke of during his time in the world. The fact is that during the 19th century the found of Jehovah Witness started. Of course that religion has changed many beliefs, testimonies that is the total opposite from the early Christians and what Christ said.

i dont think hell is real because if god loved us so much he wouldnt make us go through eternal pain and suffering. dont you think god would try and help us with our flaws instead of lighting us on fire for doing something wrong.

Exactly! That only comes from your own belief. Yet it is only opposite to what you say from the Bible. Based on what you say is what you only want to think. Don't get me wrong we all want to think that way.

The concept of hell spoken of from the Bible I believe has been misinterpreted by many scholars and others from various religions. Of course the concept and belief of hell traces back in the early hood of Christianity. It is a chaotic topic to even believe in. People like yourselves that use the term "Hell on earth" is just an expression. Usually people of a spiritual mind would only see so much pain, suffering, madness or which they call evil in this world. If so being true of what the Bible says about hell, eternal punishment and such would make the term hell on earth like a marry go round in a theme park.
Time and time the Bible speaks of those who would suffer eternal punishment into fire, a dark gloomy dungeon, those of which who have fallen from God's grace or those who have not repented to their wickedness. Then what's even more twisted is who is going to hell? What about those who never known God or was taught about Jesus Christ? That's why we all don't know about who is going to hell or heaven since everyone has their own belief.
The concept of heaven and hell can only be believed by faith. Therefore, there is no proof of which that people ever experience of hell. If that being true from the Bible, then it is obvious that us people of this world have no clue what disaster it would bring and it is highly underestimated.
You saying in the beginning that just imagine if existed...Well the truth is you wouldn't want to imagine it if it did or didn't. Just remembering the gospel story of the rich man that treated Lazarus poorly, rich man ends up going in hell and asking Abraham for water to wash the fire out of his tongue. Then so it being said the soul inside and out is constantly burning tremendously for eternity -- no beginning and no end. Then again, they wouldn't have any choice they'd have to get used to it right?

hell...!so much has been said about it over the years.It is necessary to know how the place called "hell" would be but at the same time we shuld note the sublime truth about it-hell was never meant for man.when god created this universe he did not create hell.Understanding hell will always leaves us with heavy burden for the souls around us who r still leaving in sin.That is the mind bogling truth and understand about hell

I believe the world we live now IS hell. The pain, the suffering, the evil, the bad, diseases, loss, and everything else. I believe once we die we'll be relieved from this place. We'll be ascended beings and live freely without a body, just a soul. I believe in reincarnation, not sure why you'd want to be reincarnated though, considering this world only brings hatred and suffering. I believe the afterlife will be like now but in a sense it would be like 'heaven' where only good things come and no suffering and bad things. We'd live on as a spirit not a solid body mass. We'll NEVER know until we die or unless we talk to a spirit. I think you could possibly create your own hell, do evil now, pay later with karma or walking this earth as a spirit with no other options.
I should probably stop now before I sound like some crazy person that needs to be locked up, or do you already think that? :p
