WARNING: This new tread is not for everyone. This tread is for people who believe there is a HELL. IF you do not believe in HELL, use my another tread "THERE IS NO HELL"
In many religious traditions, Hell is a place of suffering and punishment in the afterlife, often in the underworld. Punishment in Hell typically corresponds to sins committed in life. Sometimes these distinctions are specific, with damned souls suffering for each wrong committed (see for example Plato's myth of Er or Dante's The Divine Comedy), and sometimes they are general, with sinners being relegated to one or more chamber of Hell or level of suffering. In Islam and Christianity, however, faith and repentance play a larger role than actions in determining a soul's afterlife destiny.
In Christianity and Islam, Hell is traditionally depicted as fiery and painful, inflicting guilt and suffering. Some other traditions, however, portray Hell as cold and gloomy. Despite the common depictions of Hell as a fire, Dante's Inferno portrays the innermost circle of Hell as a frozen lake of blood and guilt. Hell is often portrayed as populated with demons, who torment the damned. Many are ruled by a death god, such as Nergal or the Christian Satan.
In contrast, a paradise is a happy afterlife for some or all the dead (for example, see heaven). Modern understandings of Hell often depict it abstractly, as a state of loss rather than as fiery torture literally under the ground.
It seems that the world has lost the sense of SIN and therefore Hell no longer exist. Even teachers in religious universities tell their students that Lucifer is a not a demon but a pigment of midieval immagination! The world has losts its mind in immorality. Everyone is going with "the flow" and some of kids today are jumping off to HELL head on first.
If you believe in HELL....what can we do?
