But you would have to be a Levantine living in Japan to know that.

We've managed to turn the earth into a living hell for the entire planet, and for each other included. Man is egoistic enough to think that he is even worth a "hell" preserved only for him, and him alone. Khayyam puts it better: Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise! One thing at least is certain--This Life flies; One thing is certain and the rest is Lies; The Flower that once has blown for ever dies. All things considered, the ant did burn in hell.

Khayyam puts it better:

Oh, threats of Hell and Hopes of Paradise!
One thing at least is certain–This Life flies;
One thing is certain and the rest is Lies;
The Flower that once has blown for ever dies.

I'm sure you've been through this exercise before.... different holy books, apparent inconsistencies within each holy book, word-by-word versus esoteric reading of the same book ... You are more than intelligent enough to formulate your own understanding of hell based on your own understanding of God. The closest interpretation to my liking from a mainstream religious figure was in 1999 by the late Pope Jean Paul: Heaven was “neither an abstraction nor a physical place in the clouds, but that fullness of communion with God which is the goal of human life.” Hell, by contrast, was “the ultimate consequence of sin itself . . . Rather than a place, Hell indicates the state of those who freely and definitively separate themselves from God, the source of all life and joy”. Unfortunately, the current pope, is more a believer in the classic "hell is where evil sinners burn in fire" Razan & Yazan ... Your turn. Maysaloon,

He shouldn't have made this idea of the bads and the goods in the first place. And I would rather see those burning in hell than seeing their souls living ever after in the sky.
