Is Hell a real place? [Spirituality & Religion]

I grew up going to a southern Baptist church where we were taught that Hell was very real but I read somewhere Hell was a concept the Romans came up with to scare people. I have also read that in the bible nothing over eternally suffering was mentioned originally. So is Hell real or not?

its a concept like the boogeyman
I don't think there's a right or wrong answer.. it's all about what the individual believes.

well the idea of fairies, unicorns and elves is really comforting and nice... but that doesnt make them real...
same thing with a god
Hell is not a fiery place of torment....The Bible's hell is simply mankind's common grave. GOOD PEOPLE and bad people go there when they die.

One way to find out.

Hell is a story like any other story. Like the story of your life, or of mine.
What's real? We could talk about that forever.
But the traditional depiction of hell...fire and brimstone etc...I would say is a particularly fictitious location.

Could God still exist if Hell is not real? Because I always like to picture the idea of a loving Creator who really cares about us and I don't like to think that death is the absolute end either.
I dont believe in a literal hell but yeah we have some mental hells to deal with sometimes.
Some people don't believe in that.
Its in the HOLY WORD of GOD, Bible!

It's not anyway.
Storykid death is not the end for the believe or nonbeliever. Becahse, there is a pleasant or unpleasant life for both!

If heaven is a place in our hearts then it seems hell is too...whatever we cultivate will be our fate in the end.

Yes it is real, we choose not to believe it. if there is no hell then there is no consequence. however hell is not the final place.

The only place Hell is real is in the heads of believers. Sure, there's the lake of fire and torment in the bible but really, do you actually believe it exists? I'd say read your bible and ask yourself "does this make sense?"
Hell I don't know.

Hell is VERY real. It was created for the Devil and his angels.

i'm nontheist and i'm happiest mofo on the entire planet.

i may not be the richest, smartest but my priorities are about life not about how my death is going to be because a bunch of inbred degenerates say so.
