Do Christians believe that the Earth is hollow?
I mean, many Christians believe that Hell is underground which is corroborated by some verses in the Bible like Ephesians 4:9 "Now that he [Jesus] ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?", and considering that there must be plenty of room for the sinners, it must be a big place.
We also sometimes hear in the news how some Christians believe they found a fiery pit that is a doorway to hell.
Or maybe they believe that Earth is not hollow but that sinners cook in the lava?

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
