I am confused about this hell. I have a bible with me, direct me to the passage that describes hell. Thanks.

Any help here? You all seem to have intimate knowledge of this hell place. There must be some interesting passages in the bible that go into depth about this place.

Nothing in-depth. Just eternal fire.
Mark 9:43 If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life crippled, than, having your two hands, to go into hell, into the unquenchable fire,
9:44 where THEIR WORM DOES NOT DIE, AND THE FIRE IS NOT QUENCHED.
Matthew 25:41 Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;'
Revelation 20:14 Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire This is the second death, the lake of fire.
20:15 And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

So, all we know about hell is that there are worms and people who have joined satan and a lake of fire. That's not really that bad IMO. I never saw satan sacrifice his own child for a mistake he made. I am more afraid of going to heaven and hanging out with this God character.
Although I am more of an atheist. While these myths are good fun I don't think I am going to die and go to a lake of fire or a place of clouds. For that matter when I die I know I have no shot at coming back as Case Closed the White. I don't worry about stories.
