There are many concepts of hell, even within Christianity, but other religions and belief systems have their own version.

Come on , now, you know perfectly well that while the intellectual elite of Christianity may have a subtle view of what Hell is, for the great majority of Christians, the word Hell conjures up visions of underground caverns with fires and demons with pitchforks tormenting the sinners.

Christians' concept of hell doesn't necessarily define the reality of hell, but is merely an attempt to to describe the undesireability of what hell really is; namely, eternal separation from God. And since we, living in time, can no more properly conceive eternity, where time doesn't exist, than we can conceive of a 5th dimension, you get a lot of interesting interpretations.
