Not really. The idea of hell wasn't even introduced to Christianity until about 3 centuries after the death of Jesus. Allot of the idea of hell came from the greek and roaman culture, and allot of the imagery of hell came from Dante's Inferno, which was written in the 1300s.
If there is a god, why would they create us only to suffer in this life, and then to make us suffer in the next life as well.
