If it did exist, it is immoral. Hell would be immoral and an indication of God's immorality. The belief is that we will be punished for eternity if we don't make all the correct decisions in our short physical life. Believers in this expect more morality out of humans than they expect from their god. Only the worst tyrants and religionists have resorted to long term torture. And the scale adds to the evil. I have seen estimates that there have been more than 110 billion people on earth, which includes the current 6 billion. A bit over 50% of the current population are either Christian, Jewish or Muslim. Odds are that the majority of the others will not convert before they die. Go back a few thousand years and few people heard of the Abrahamic god. Now, it's a bit ambiguous regarding what happens to nonbelievers who have never heard of the biblical God or Jesus Christ. But we are still talking billions of people in Hell. What is the justification? Any explanations are very shallow and only convincing for the conditioned believers. So how many billions of people will be eternally punished before the god is satisfied?
I believe that Hell is probably the worst idea out of many bad ideas in religions.
