cold dark lonely hell in religion?

why do ppl say hell is a cold dark lonely place, or they say it's a hot firey place.  don't they realize they're placing evolutionary values to hell.

back in the 1980s a computer magazine said we can start working from home because of modems but people like to be social and in communal places.

why do people say they want to eat things.  milk and honey isn't necessarily good.  it's just evolutionarily as humans if we eat we survive.  so that's why we like eating.  maybe in some other world reality realm, we like to get our energy from pricks of plasmaforgus.  it's human evolution to want to eat.  else we wouldn't live.  else we wouldn't have been born.

loneliness, is it so bad.  do you want to be around a bunch of nutcases.  and we're already living in the soaring heat at 25C/77F degrees for some animals.  for lifeforms on venus they'd consider we're living in frigid temperatures.  there's nothing to say heat or frigid temperatures is good or bad.  it's an evolutionary creature of habit and habitat thing.

the reason we dont want to be lonely is we'll die to being attacked by animals in the wild.  those who seek company survive.  those who seek food live.  there's nothing virtuous about company and food in logic in logical terms.

    The only valid point you made is the reason humans seek out the company of other humans.  It isn't a perfect point--there are other reasons--but it's somewhat insightful.  However, Hell isn't specifically described as a lonely place.  In Jesus's version, the rich man in Hell could speak to people in Heaven. 

    This is actually an interesting idea, but to properly flesh it out, you need to better understand what religions say about Hell.

    What?  I don't follow you.  Hell is a condition of purification so we don't need to be lost to God forever.  Its temperature makes no difference.
