    I think I can. It is not the word itself that is bad, it is the improper use of the word. Hell is the name of a place of punishment for the wicked. It is not a joke, nor is it an expetive term. When someone uses the word improperly, using it as a curse word or an emotional expression, it diminishes the seriousness of what it really means. "What the Hell" doesn't even make sense, and a person who uses the word that way demonstrates intellectual inferiority along with what I have already said about its use. Would it make sense to say, "What the New York" or "What the Chicago" or "What the Montreal"? Secondly, it is wrong to use it in the sense of telling someone to go there. To say, "Go to Hell" means that you are playing God. No one has the authority to command someone to Hell but God. It is the very heighth of arrogance to think you can say such a thing with impunity, and to hope for such a punishment for a fellow human being is very revealing about one's self. Either the curser really doesn't believe there is such a place as Hell (which suggests God is a liar), or they are certainly the most calloused, merciless individual imaginable. And the only person who can be responsible for going to the place called Hell is the person themself. A person chooses Heaven or chooses Hell based upon their choice of commiting their life to God now or not.
