I mean the thought behind the saying could be anything, ranging from the literal to a more storylike place for one's mind to process. Apparently it was well known to be a bad place, full of Terrible smells and fires (due to rotting waste/gases) so one would imagine the legends of the place became embellished some what. Think of the bog of eternal stench from Labyrinth.
I mean, in the long run, the bible says a lot of things, but why does that give it any authority over any other book on the planet also full of crazy tails/realms we can't verify exist either?
If Mark 9 isn't saying that those who burn in hell (Gehenna) are tormented forever, what was the point of the passage then?
