From all the Christian descriptions of heaven as a place of fluffy clouds and basking in the glory of god, I'd say hell sounds like LESS torment.

Not Biblical. Just something that was influenced by other cultures.

Pretty much. I guess it comes from a wrong theological philosophy of thinking that hell is going to be a place where all the hedonists will party. Not true under the Judeo-Christian view.

In the Judeo-Christian view of Hell, it is a place where you are eternally seperated from G-d, which means that it will be a place of eternal torment since all things good come from G-d. Just stating what Christian view of Hell.

It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?

# Job 26:6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

Just a quick search. Haven't researched this. I would expect that the passages saying "the lowest Hell" are certainly referencing it, while the others could be relating to the grave/death.
 
Spending an eternity anywhere would be hell to me. So, it really doesn't matter.

After having every possible conversation for the millionth time, doing every possible activity for the millionth time, eating every possible meal for the millionth time, etc. all I have to look forward to is to reach the billionth milestone of each of those. Eternity IS my definition of hell.

Think about it, if it is possible that the next fun activity you do will be your last time ever doing it, then that activity is very special. Having infinite amounts of it removes all specialness, removes all fun, etc. The reason life is valuable is because it is limited.

Well according to the bible, when you die your spirit simply sleeps until Jesus returns and the earth is restored, in which time our bodies are also restored and everything is brand new like it was in the beginning. I'm sure at some point we can visit heaven, but it's not like we are all going to heaven when we die.

Jesus even makes reference to it when he refers to his friend Lazarus as sleeping. There is no reference that I recall that anyone goes to heaven when they die.
 
I'd prefer to go to hell. I mean, where else can you get payback for all the crap that has happened in this world? At least there, I could theoretically kill Hitler.
