Ok, so now we are down to haggling over the accepted definition of the word. I was refuting hell as a place of fire and brimstone were 'bad' people and nonbelievers are punished forever and ever yada yada. Purgatory or limbo was never really part of the hell myth, being its own separate entity. And the one describe in the esoteric teachings it a place of stripping away the old so that you can be reborn again, and if I am not mistaken, the same applies to the Hindu beliefs.
