Heaven and Hell?

I made a comment a few days ago about not believing in hell and I was summarily questioned. If I don't believe in hell, how can I believe in heaven? Here is my answer to that.
In order for there to be day, there must be night. For white, there must be black. To feel the sun, you must first endure the rain. In order for there to be a heaven, there must also be a hell. There is a balance to the world that has to be felt. But, cold is simply the absence of heat, not an actual state. Dark is an abscence of light and not something we can adequately describe. So, hell is the permanent separation from God. To never feel the touch of the divine again. That is what hell is.
