I don't share this with many people because I don't want to create conflict over religion.
From what I can tell from my studies more than 40 years ago, the Bible hardly mentions Hell. There is a parable by Jesus, and a brief reference in the Book of Revelations to the Lake of Fire saying that the Devil will be cast into it. The concept of Hell doesn't seem to be part of the Old Testament religion, and the Bible never refers to it as Hell nor does it say that people will go there for all eternity. The belief in Hell is more due to tradition, and many concepts found in Abrahamic religions seem to have been influenced by their Middle Eastern neighbors, like the Egyptians, the Persians, and the Babylonians.
