Hell is none of those things, it is nothing more than a tool to threaten Christians with.

Any hell you can create for yourself on Earth is inherently disproportional to any otherworldly hell due to the aspect of eternity. It dims in comparison.

This is for the people who claim hell is not supported by the Bible.

So, God is omnipotent and all-powerful but for some reason he can't send you to hell without killing you?

The OP speaks of a literal hell that his sky daddy created, and you've answered figuratively. According to the big 3 Abrahamics, hell is a literal destination. With literal fire.

And we know that the dead cannot think, feel, or experience anything...the Bible says so...Ecclesiastes 9:5, 6, 10... so how can they be tormented by burning forever? Thye can't...

I've never been to the hell I am talking about here and I doubt you have. So if you have proof I'd like to see it.

If you have proof of a supernatural being called Yahweh and a Christian Hell (not the underworld spoken of in preceding religions) I'd like to see it.

The true Christian hell is the Greek word, Hades, otherwise known as the common grave of mankind...the word “Hades” occurs ten times in the earliest manuscripts of the Christian Greek Scriptures.​..Matthew 11:23; 16:18; Luke 10:15; 16:23; Acts 2:27, 31; Revelation 1:18; 6:8; 20:13, 14...

Hades was also the name of the god of the underworld, Hades (or Pluto if you choose the Roman term).

But where in the Bible does it mention Tartarus, the place in Greek mythology where the sinful are sent for punishment?

Tartarus is found only once in the inspired Scriptures, at 2 Peter 2:4...

“God did not hold back from punishing the angels that sinned, but, by throwing them into Tartarus, delivered them to pits of dense darkness to be reserved for judgment.”

There is a parallel text is found at Jude 6 talking about Tarturas but does not mention it by name...

“And the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place he has reserved with eternal bonds under dense darkness for the judgment of the great day.”

Peter also speaks of “the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days, while the ark was being constructed" found in 1 Peter 3:19, 20...Peter was directly referring to Genesis 6:1-4, concerning “the sons of the true God” who abandoned their heavenly dwelling place to be with women in pre-Flood times and produced children by them, such offspring called the Nephilim, so we can see from these texts that Tartarus is a condition rather than a particular location, where Peter speaks of these disobedient spirits as being in “pits of dense darkness"...

We can also see that Tartarus not the same as the Hebrew Sheol or the Greek Hades, both of which refer to the common earthly grave of mankind...evident from the fact that, while the apostle Peter shows that Jesus Christ preached to these “spirits in prison,” he also shows that Jesus did so, not during the three days while buried in Hades, but after his resurrection out of Hades...1 Peter 3:18-20...

Tartarus is not the same as the “the abyss” into which Satan and his demons are eventually to be cast for the thousand years of Christ’s rule either...Revelation 20:1-3...

There is nothing in the qur'an to suggest that women are the majority in hell.
