Default Could the sun be hell?

I read somewhere hell could be in the Earth but the sun is hotter isn't it? How would someone survive and feel pain in the sun? Can some sort of plastic survive fusion? Can humans be trapped in plastic just as they are trapped in their brain?

No, because hell presumes the existence of supernatural phenomena such as souls that can be tourtured forever, and such things do not exist.

What if you're not a soul but a 'line' of fractions in your brain that can be extracted - a 'codeline'? What if God deliberately made you like that so that you could go to hell? He would make you a codeline of fractions in your brain. Then after you die, extract the line and implant it into a special plastic that can withstand fusion?

If anywhere there's a hell, Venus is it.

Didn't early Christians believe the sun to be pure and perfect, an image of God?

I believe one of the points that Galileo was persecuted for was suggesting that the sun had spots and was thus imperfect.

I read Uranus (no pun intended!) had an atmosphere of ammonia and radon. A nasty mix. Venus sounds appealing to me!
