I'm thinking lots of fire, lava, evil creatures, torture racks and constant screaming. Oh and promises of cake but there never is any.

A huge empty void with nothing and no-one but yourself in it, for all eternity.

Certainly not lakes of fire, demons with pitchforks, and endless bureaucracy. The Dantesque portrayal of hell I find almost comical.

The question always reminds me of a quote from Dr. Faustus:
FAUSTUS Where are you damn'd?
MEPHISTOPHILIS In hell.
FAUST. How comes it then that thou art out of hell?
MEPH. Why this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I who saw the face of God,
And tasted the eternal joys of Heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells,
In being depriv'd of everlasting bliss?
Hell, I imagine, would be remembering all the things you've lost, the mistakes you've made and the opportunities you've missed, every detail of it, forever.

Although this would be infinitely cooler.

stemming from my belief that no such place exists, i think hell is just our imagination, so everybody would have their own personal hell.

I live 1 hour away from Hell actually. It's kinda boring there, but their hotel is great for conferences and such. Had the best meal of my life there.

Also, it's always cold there. Even in the summer.
Darn, I was going to post that ;)

Funny that.

Also several places in Norway called "Helvete" which means Hell in English :3

Seeing how I do not agree with Christianity and what it stands for (or any other religion for that matter), I would expect hell to be a pretty awesome place if it existed. Heaven is meant for those faithful servants who want sing all day Christian songs and be abstinent. So I expect hell to be one big party forever!
This reminds me of a fun song. :D

A Plane of infinite size, that is pure white. Just a huge white floor and a white sky. With just yourself, alone naked, for all eternity.

Like a never ending pile of paper work.... and if you're interesting enough ironic punishments.

I don't think it will look like anything, seeing as Hell is an human invention and it's existence is purely based on imagination.

So any discussion on what it would look like is completely futile, since it doesn't exist.

The thread seems to me to be just a bit of fun. I don't see why you need to bring the same, tired argument to the table.

Anyway, I think Hell would just be rather boring. Like waiting in a line. Forever. That'd suck.

It would change for everyone very much like how heaven was in Supernatural but be based on our fears.

For me, Hell would be a bleak and colourless expanse of uninteresting land where there's literally nothing for me to do. If there's one thing I can't stand, it's being unable to occupy myself. Having that be the case for eternity would be Hell for me.
