Yes, first, you think it`s like heat and torture and stuff, but there`s something worse, if people around you have strange thoughts, so you have to focus constantly to stay normal, think about doing that, like, forever

Actually the word hell is not the correct understanding of the eventual eternal place of people who remain unbelievers. People that have never believed in Jesus for God's free gift of Eternal Life.

The actual place is called the lake of fire, that is where all people who never receive The Life of God by faith in Jesus.

To live eternally with God, requires a human to have The Life of God, without The Life of God. The lake of fire is the only place for these people who never received The Life of God.

What is that place actually like, The Bible does not say much about the lake of fire.

When the scriptures were first written they were written in the Hebrew language and the word that was used was Sheol to represent a place people went when they died and there they would sleep in death waiting a resurrection. Both righteous and unrighteous went to Sheol to sleep in death until the resurrection. When the Hebrew language of the scriptures began to be translated into the Greek language, they used the Greek word Hades to translate the Hebrew word Sheol. Since Sheol represented a place where both righteous and unrighteous people go and sleep in death waiting for a resurrection, Hades also represents the place righteous and unrighteous people go when they die to sleep in death waiting for a resurrection. So when the scriptures began to be translated into the English language when they came across the Hebrew word Sheol or the Greek word Hades they used the word Hell. This was during the time period during the 1500-1600's. Because the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades represents a place where both righteous and unrighteous people go to when they die waiting for a resurrection the English word Hell represents a place righteous and unrighteous people go to when they die and sleep in death until the resurrection. Back in that time period,1500-1600's the word Hell didn't mean what most people think Hell means today. Today most people think Hell is a place of torment where only unrighteous people go when they die. So I agree that the word Hell isn't a good word to use in the scriptures today because of the beliefs people have regarding the word Hell

Scriptures say plenty about the lake of fire.

It's a place of punishment (Matthew 25:46; Jude 1:7)
It's a place of deep grief and mourning (Matthew 13:42)
It's a place of constant torment (Luke 16:24; Mark 9:48)
It's a place of literal fire (Mark 9:48; Revelation 20:15)
It's never ending (Matthew 18:8, Matthew 25:41-46; Mark 9:48)

God's goal is to build an eternity we call Heaven where angels and humans live with a sin-incompatible God happily forever.

God thus sets up Law followed by a so-called Final Judgment to qualify who shall enter this Heaven. Humans have no hope to enter this Heaven by means of such a Judgment of Law due mainly to the the influence from the much more capable and intelligent (fallen) angels. They need to be saved alternatively through the self-sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

We are with the wrong assumption that this universe is the nature. This universe is not nature, it's God-made instead. True nature shall be filled with fire and energy. So if one is not with God in a forever happy Heaven, he winds up back to the nature. It actually goes like this, you either end up with God or you do not. If you don't end up with God, you are in a "society" without God's influence at all.

In such a wilderness-like "society" the most powerful and the most evil will rule at the end. It happens that Satan is the one. Satan on the other hand, has all the will and all the ability to turn everyone into an evil sinning machine. Satan becomes the god of everyone not with God. This world with Satan as god will wind up into the nature of energy and fire, as out of capability of this god to counter the force of the true nature. Satan can't build anything to save you from the damage true nature can do.

That's what hell is.
