I think it would be a lot more simple just to admit that we do not know for sure just what Heaven and hell is?
With all of the symbolism we can not prove anything except in our own minds, and i can not even do that much.
After all we can still argue about what we think it is and that is where the fun is.
I Corinthians 2:2
For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
