"No Exit". People in a room from which there is no escape. If it exists, what is YOUR idea of He**? What is the worst way to spend eternity?

Sarte says Hell is other people.   He has got something there.   Hell is the ego.   When we escape the ego, we escape hell.   When we shut off the inner voice that is always talking back to us, we shut out the ego and we see what is left.  Peace and inspiration enter.   Heaven is found inside our own heart and mind this way.

probably with people that drive you nuts

I don't believe that there is an afterlife, or that it is possible for any spirit to live independently of a body.

When I read the Sufi poets, I find myself transported into another way of being, in which there may be an entity of consciousness and unconditional love, and reading the poetry fills me with that love. There might be a universal mind, perhaps dependent on the sum of all conscious and sentient beings, existing as the construct of all societies and reflected in culture and on the internet - something like Jung proposes, or Buddhism, or The Upanishads. I find the idea plausible and attractive, but I have no evidence or logic to support the idea, so I tend to leave it aside in the category of "What-if, Maybe or Perhaps." I think physicists might one day discover that time and space are infinite, if they discover what existed before the Big Bang. I believe the answer might lie in the concepts of anti-matter or something like a reverse universe that moves through a wormhole or torus and comes out as a mirror image on the other side. In this way universes could evolve and devolve endlessly.

As for hell, it is definitely something humans create and experience subjectively during life. Usually it is created by our own neurotic minds. But innocents can also be embroiled in hell, as when children become victims of natural disasters, war, or dysfunctional families. 
When any of the seven deadly sins becomes a habit of mind that drives destructive behaviours, it leads that person into a living hell in the form of suffering the consequences.
Hate, fear, greed, toxic shame and ignorance are, in my view, the prime creators of hell.
When I speak of ignorance I refer to an active choice to refuse to learn by research, observation, experience and listening to the experiences of others: I mean literally choosing to ignore the truth that is available all around us in everything we do.

Very interesting answer, Hartfire. :) 

There's a modern parable that may answer your question. 

A young man who lived a riotous life was constantly warned by his elderly, religious uncle that there would be hell (!) to pay if he didn't mend his ways. The warnings went unheeded and eventually both men died, first the uncle and then, years later, the now not-so-young man.

When he reached the Pearly Gates he enquired as to his uncle's whereabouts and St. Peter directed him to a room in a quiet neighbourhood. There he found his uncle, still reading his Bible, being caressed by three almost-naked young women. He was both astonished and pleased and said, "Uncle, are these women your reward?" 

And his uncle said, "Don't be revolting. I'm their punishment."

Personally, I think it would be existing in a constant state of regret.

Cold, in pain and listening to Eminem on constant repeat.

Listening to the CNN news or reading the New York Times or Washington Post. 

spending eternity ass kissing a narcissistic sky fairy is my idea of hell
