Proof that Hell exists

I found this picture from your link. From the bowels of hell we have some alluring beauties to entice you over to the dark side.

For me, the Book of Mormon makes simple why something like hell must exist. Some people are filthy, and if they were to dwell with God after death, His kingdom would have to be filthy also.
Fine, but that's all bloody bizarre logic. To say "dwell with … after death" is kind of like saying "running after my legs have been amputated." To say that a person who was "filthy" in life is to know nothing whatever about what they might be when life has left them.

Anything comparable in Bahai heaven!I think it is for a selected few, the worst sinners like atheists.
According to Christian fundamentals Baha’is don’t make it to heaven along with atheists, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists and quite a few of their Christian brethren too. So maybe the photo is as good as it gets for Baha’is in the next world:D

Ah, so you would be there too with us! That will be nice. Why just Christians, You are not entitled for the Muslim heaven also. Hindu heaven is available only to those who do not follow dharma and speak lies. But I have not followed dharma all the time. :(

I look at the symbolism of heaven and hell, as similar to being told that cigarettes are not good for your health, whereas a healthy lifestyle is. People after hearing this healthy warning and advice have free will and choice to smoke or live healthy.

Later on in life, many, but not all of the people who chose to smoke, develop medical conditions based on the cause and affect they were warned about. The warning not about a moral judgement, but a rational conclusion based on cause and affect. In that sense, it is similar to Karma.

With Karma you may end up as a lowly insect. If you were conscious of your previous self, being an insect would be a type of hell, since one would be much more vulnerable within the laws of the jungle as a tiny creature.

Christianity tends to place all the insects of Karma, in the same dung pile; hell. Imagine all the cancer ridden and other medical condition cigarette smokers in the same room. There is a certain mercy to this, since not everyone, will be as sick, and some may count their blessings and become redeemed.

I'm not sure what you're considering to be "hell." If you're thinking of "Outer Darkness," then truly only a very few people will end up there -- literally by their own choice that they know God but want nothing to do with Him. The Terrestrial and Telestial Kingdoms can hardly be described as "hell."

That's why I said, "For me..." Maybe it doesn't work as proof of hell for others.

I completely forgot about the three kingdoms... I have been writing a verse by verse examination of the Book of Mormon and quoting from it.
