Was hell a later invention to scare believers?

RE: Was hell a later invention to scare believers?
Yeah, all the cuddly, feel-good stuff about Jesus goes out the window with that eternal damnation thing.

I think the contemporary vision of what Hell is like comes more from Dante's Inferno than anything else.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
