Yes, of course. The fire/brimstone/torture hell is laughably non-biblical, but I'm personally fond of either the annihilationist view or the Orthodox view of hell.
In the Orthodox conception, everyone goes to God after death but how we react to God's presence determines whether that's a infinitely joyful thing or an infinitely painful thing. Those who live their lives in disdain for God will only find regret and sorrow in His presence once outside of time. Not unlike laying in the sun: those with sunscreen will enjoy the warmth while those without will burn in the heat.
If we reject that view under the "nothing sinful can exist in the presence of God" argument, then annihilationism seems the way to go. Ultimately, the specifics don't matter a whole lot to me as they're likely beyond my comprehension, plus que sera sera and all.
