Unfortunately, this place does exist. It is not a creation of God. Hell is the absence of God. All that God created was good. However, when certain angels decided that they wanted to be like God and not serve him they became separated from his grace. That is what hell is... a separation from God. Just like those ancient angels who disobeyed God [and are now known as demons] so many people today choose not to be like God. They are separated from God's grace and live in a type of hell. Life without God is hell. These people do what they want and are absolutely miserable. The Scriptures say that "God knows how to punish the wicked until the day of judgement." I was one of those people. My heart was broken, my soul was empty and my brain was a sphere of confusion. I was doing whatever I wanted whenever I wanted. Yet, I did not know what was wrong with me. Life was hell for me then just as it it for many today. For us, we can still - as long as we are in this life - find Jesus to save us from a living hell on this earth. The demons are condemend through their own choices and experience this everlasting separation from God. They will always be a part of hell. We, on the other hand, can escape the torture of separation from God through Jesus. We must reject sin and accept Jesus in order to escape hell.
