I have to disagree with Don. At least in small part. Yes Heaven and Hell are very old concepts. They have been analyzed and referenced for at least 2000 years, by priests, by authors. The most influential example, Dante wasn't just presenting a stick. He was illustrating the moral comparison of earthly sins and saying some interesting things about human nature.

All of these analyses. All of these writings add up to one clear conclusion. There cannot be just one clear definition of "Heaven" or "Hell" you are welcome to say yours is right. But if someone sincerely tell you what it means to them, you have no ground to say that they were wrong. I think that every answer on this thread but one was a legitimate answer to your question and deserves respect.

On the other hand

If it is clear that they are taking the piss and deliberately misunderstanding, trivializing and mocking the question, As one person on the thread has done. Have at 'em.
