hurts like hell

It's such a common saying that is used, but do we really have any idea what he'll would hurt like. The picture the Bible paints is one of utter and eternal torture, not exactly the kind one might experience when stubbing a toe, accidentally hitting a finger with a hammer and so on.

The bible says hell is like.....
Revelation 14:11

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.”
Revelation 19:20

New International Version (NIV)

²⁰ But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.
Revelation 20:14-15

New International Version (NIV)

¹⁴ Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. The lake of fire is the second death. ¹⁵ Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

 

Perhaps we should have a healthier respect for it and referrer acne it accordingly.
