She doesn't, that is just silly, if there really was a hell(there isn't) it would not be in the center of the Earth.
You dont know this for sure....things change when we die, it may be like going to a different 'dimension/plane', same earth, just a different 'plane', some kind of 'hell' could very well exist on this plane, near the firey molten core.

To begin with, you are going to live like 100 years? You believe in that short amount of time, some people will do things that would curse them to an eternal torment, and if somebody really thinks that God is that petty, angry and full of so much hatred for a human that he will poke him with a stick forever, you gotta rethink just who and what your God is.
All those scriptures of hell are about the outer court, the outcome of Shemini Atzeret, and the end of temptation.
We all have an evil inclination, an evil spirit that is always tempting us, and when God takes that evil inclination away, he takes all temptation away, he separates the goat from the sheep, that goat is the evil inclination, an evil spirit which is a son of perdition that is OBVIOUSLY inside any person who is tempted to do evil.
When you die, you will be divided, cut in half, and you will hear the chains clinking because an angel will come with a great chain of authority, and his job is to take the evil spirit out of you, and away from you, that there is no evil or temptation left within you.
There is no heaven, and there is no hell, there is 3 types of resurrection whether you are the least in the kingdom, or in the higher Zoe kingdom, or in between as a priest.
We are taught that the design of the temple is there to show us the design of the kingdom of heaven, and that design is in 3 sections, and ALL PEOPLE IN ALL SECTIONS ARE SAVED. The temple was specifically designed to show us the afterlife.
Hell is the comparison between the least and the greatest, people will truly weep and gnash their teeth in that outer court, but not because they aren't saved, or even blessed, they weep because they now know that they were in a race, and the race is already finished, and they never knew it had ever started.
The least in the kingdom is blessed, and even though his outcome is not like the greatest in the kingdom, his outcome and blessing is still greater than any human that ever lived.
It wasn't ridicule. Even if it is his belief, it certainly had to have occurred to him that what he wrote would sound insane to most people, or so I would think. Which is why I asked. I've written things that I've re-read and thought, "well, that will sound NUTS to somebody". I left it, but I didn't lie to myself about that.
But of course, there's that tiresome old game of "let's try to make it look as though the person really meant something other than what they said" that goes on here forever and ever.
Seriously, after you type something like this, you don't go back and read it and think, "Whoa, this sounds completely insane"?

As everyone can clearly see, there was no attempt to make your words look anything other than what they said. You were quoted word for word.
You say such things, and then ALWAYS hide behind the "you changed my meaning" claim. Its a dodge, and not a very honest one.

Own your words!
When you said "it's not cool to ridicule", that was your attempt to try to change the meaning of my post. You don't need to misquote anything. You just try to cast a different intent on my words.
For some reason, you seem to view yourself as incredibly clever by employing this schtick, as if everyone doesn't see right through it. And you're casting dispersion on MY honesty? Seriously?
I do own my words. I still would like the person I quoted to respond to my question.

You are trying to make it about me in order to deflect from your own words, which is what you always do. Trying to hide behind such claim is a classic dodge.
You should know better than to talk about someones religious views like that, and you should know better than to always make it about the posters when you get called out.
