Isn't that the Bible? And Sunday sermons?
Not trying to be funny. The white light thing is nothing I believe in myself, but never having had a near death experience I can't say I am not biased.
The purpose of hell is multifacetous: it is both a deterrent and a necessary opposite to heaven. Hell is present in most religions (just look at Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology for examples of non-Christian versions). I believe Hinduism does have a hell too but it is only temporary as opposed to eternal damnation.
