How this does sound: Hell is basically a place where those that choose not to be with God are located. God does not kill them off because of mercy- he wants his creations to live. So hell is basically the eternal seperation from God.
hell is the eternal lake of fire, a place of sulfur and gasses. Infinate tourture waits for those who choose not to believe in God, or blaspheme his ways. I'm not saying torture in the form of physical pain, but once you die and see the glory of God for what it really is, and then become eternally seperated from it, you'll know what you could've had, and know what you'll never get...that can be torture enough
