I believe if there even is a heaven there is no hell or a temporary hell for only the real evil people. I am a Unitarian Universalist and I believe everybody no matter what religion or no religion will eventually go to heaven for eternity for being who they are and were on Earth, I doubt the real God would send anybody to hell and I truly believe what I just wrote, don't worry do your best in life.-Nathan the U.U.

Perhaps your post would have been easier to follow if you just said you doubt hell is eternal? And indeed, "eternal" is simply the word favoured in English translations, when "eons" would have been entirely appropriate. Eternal gives the church more clout, something they like a great deal.

Perhaps hell is a choice rather than a punishment. For instance, say you are watching over a dozen or so children old enough to understand the basic rules of playing nice with others. One of the children gets angry and throws a toy at another. After several warnings, he is separated from the others, not to punish him but to protect the others. Soon there are several children who are together in a separate room because they refuse to forsake forbidden behavior. The result is good for the gentle because they are with others who are gentle and hard on those who cling to wrongdoing because they will be victimized by others of like nature. Maybe this is the case with heaven and hell.


I don't believe that hell is a literal lake of fire where the inhabitants are burned alive forever. I suspect that hell fire represents anger, hatred and other destructive emotions.

"If there even is a heaven there is no hell or a temporary hell for only the real evil people."


Since God had created the three heavens, God had also created the literal hell aka sheol/hades, which is comprised of two compartments. However, there may be a third compartment, and if that is the case, it would stand to reason that it is presently occupied by some of the fallen angels that were far more wicked compared to the other fallen angels who are presently doing their thing for Satan on earth. It would stand to reason that hell, which is no doubt, located in the bowels of the earth, would be a temporary place, due to the fact, that hell will literally go into the Lake of Fire and Brimstone, which God had also created. As to the whole group of sinners, it would stand to reason, in reference to different degress of  punishment for whatever, the "real evil people" would suffer the torments of higher degrees of punishment compared to the lower degrees of punishment of the other sinners. The different degrees of punishment could be in reference to the second compartment of hell or the Lake of Fire and Brimstone or both.


"I believe everybody no matter what religion or no religion will eventually go to heaven for eternity for being who they are and were on Earth,"


No matter who the sinners were or are on earth, it would stand to reason that it would make no difference whatsoever, because the sinners are just sinners. Also, in order for the third heaven to not be contaminated by sinners, God would never allow sinners into the third heaven, whatsoever. 


"I doubt that God would send anybody to hell"


It is correct that God had never sent anyone to hell in the past and in the present. God would also never send anyone to hell in the future, as well. Instead however, in reference to the past and future, only the sinners had sent themselves to hell  and they will continue to do so in the future, as well.
