The Bible does not attempt to prove the existence of God but instead assumes it. Instead, the Bible focuses on who God is and how to have a relationship with God.
"Hell is a metaphor" means that the concept of Hell, as described in religious texts, is not meant to be understood as a literal place of torment, but rather a symbolic representation of the ultimate state of separation from God, suffering, and the consequences of evil actions, often using imagery like fire and darkness to convey the severity of this state.
