What the he!! should I do?

So I'm bored... and procrastinating... and honestly just exited to be on the Internet since it happens rarely in my laptopless life (my precious computer comes back tomorrow!). So anyway... I stare at the screen not wanting to write an essay in Spanish and decide to play my favorite internet game... GOOGLE! I google random words and learn about them. So I'm pondering what to google and I think about the book I'm reading. It is the 8th book in the Left Behind series "The Desecration." Basically the serious is about what happens after Jesus comes back and takes all his believers and leaves the rest of us to deal with the Antichrist. So I google "hell." First on the list is images... yeah I'm sure. Second is dear old Wikipedia. If college has taught me anything its never trust Wikipedia. So I click on the next link "The Truth About Hell." Sounds compelling. After reading the warning to not take this site lightly I continue on down and read about the "true" hell. Mostly their proof is random texts from the Bible and a lot of lava and how the middle of the earth is the actual location of hell and that's why its really hot. I like when Christians tell me that hell is like heaven.. not a physical place we can travel to... sounds more believable that way. So I read on and they inform me what Jesus said about hell and at the end there is a smiley face with a disclaimer that says if this frightens me... I can simply say these words and mean them with all my heart and I will be saved. So yeah. Not the best site for proving hell but honestly I didn't think hell was a place that needed proof what with "faith" and all that. So I move on to the next website on google Hell.com. Don't go there. Pretty sure its a virus. Anyway I meander on down and find a good one and click on www.what-the-hell-is-hell.com/. Sounds informative. This website is different. Its proving that hell is a made up place and concept made by Roman Catholics to scare people into being good. The website doesn't deny Jesus, or Christianity as a whole but uses the Bible to prove that hell isn't real. And it's not our fault for reading that it is. The translation was wrong. Turns out the Hebrew word for "unseen" is translated into "hell" numerous times and so whenever anyone dies and becomes "unseen" they are going to hell! So this isn't as bad as some ridiculous anti bible things I've laughed at. This is real. And scholars are looking at the translations more and more and determining the one word that you really could translate to being "hell" is an actual place, a valley in the middle east. So now I'm really confused. If anyone has any light they would like to shed, or if you're as confused as I, pick up a bible and go to that website and see for yourself. If not, if the people that created that website are lying heretics, if they are going against the word of god, I bet they're going to hell.
