I prefer the word brimstone too, but I also like sulphur as it conjures up deep caves coated in yellow deposits with the smoke of hell wafting up from below carrying with it the stench of the billions of burning human bodies as their subcutaneous fat sizzles and oozes through the splitting skin in the heat of the flames and lava.
Of course Jesus and his angels will all be behind a protective screen while they watch and you'll be in the fields playing the lambs and the baby lions.
the word hell comes from the Greek word sheol and means the common grave of mankind. hell is well known in Idaho. they raise potatoes and when they have a bumper crop, they hell the potatoes. they don't roast them they just put them in the ground and cover them with dirt to be dug up in the future.

The word Hell comes from the Nordic word Hel, and the concept of the "Hell of the Damned" comes from Gehenna.
