The catholic version of hell has it's roots in various religions it has assimilated over the centuries. The biblical version is not so elobrate, with different levels of hell and or puratory where the devil rules the realm. All those elements were borrowed from the greeks, pagans and roman mythology.
If you want to talk about the God of the Bible or the Hell of the bible then it is to the bible we must turn to for reference.
It's still just your word against theirs, they read the same bible as you and they win on the numbers. If you are all drawing such different conclusions from the source you're telling me to look at, you must see why I require more than just that one source to believe that your (or any individual) interpretation is more accurate than any other.
