Hell is often described this way because our feeble minds can't perceive anything more painful. Hell really is simply total separation from God and all that He is. Though we can't comprehend it, this fate is infinitely worse than 3 Trillion years burning in a lake of fire. However, the whole point of the Christian faith is that God Himself came down to us in the form of His Son Jesus, who then suffered that pain in sacrifice in our stead so that we would not have to even though we never follo God's commands to the letter.
