Quote by Bradley Sullivan

“What this means is that if ever one finds oneself in Hell, Jesus is there to release them when they are ready. Remember, nothing can separate us from God. Not sin. Not death. Not Hell itself. Nothing in all creation can separate us from God. That is incarnational atonement.”

“Is that hell? Will they be there forever? Yes, it is hell. We call it The Cleansing here. Any of them can leave The Cleansing at any time, they just need to turn to The Great-Eternal, and they can leave. The purpose is to purge them of sin, evil, and darkness, so they will be worthy of a RY-VER of light. They would not purge it from themselves through self-discipline in their MIDI-life, so they do it now through their suffering.”

“Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." According to Dante, these lines are written over the gates of Hell. Zen masters, by contrast, have high hopes for going to Hell. For them, out of bottomless compassion, we should want to go to Hell. When asked by a college student in America if he thought people go to Heaven after they die, the modern Rinzai Zen master Fukushima Keidō replied: "Only the ego wants to go to Heaven!”

“Most religious cosmologies include the existence of hells somewhere in the universe, and Buddhism is no exception. "Hell" is a translation of the Indic word naraka (or niraya), "devoid of happiness." The hells are mentioned in a large number of Buddhist sūtras, either as a single entity, as in the Verses on the Law (Dhammapada, 4th-3d century B.C.E.), or as a system of individually named hells, as in the Abhidharma commentaries (very early Buddhist writings). They were certainly not systematized into an elaborate structure such as we see in the Abhidharmakośa for a very long time.”
