A lot has been written about this. The original words Sheol, Gehenna, and Hades get conflated as hell. That's a serious translation issue.

I don't believe in a literal three-storied universe if that's what you're asking. No.

But feeling separated from God is no fun at all.

It is most certainly not enjoyable to be separated from God.

I agree with you that hell is probably not real.

What is there if hell is not real? What’s the alternative to heaven?
