What if nine circles of hell are real

I don't believe in free will so I can't see this being real. Imagine being sentenced to suffer for things that were pre-determined and out of your control.

so why is hell implausible if being born isn't?

Not sure what you are trying to say? It's a fact that we were born. If factors such as our brain chemistry and environment effect our decision making, hell doesn't seem like a reasonable place.

it's contradictory to theological arguments
The counter to "if god exists why do bad things happen" is free will, and that god judges you based off of this. The idea of most women and rich men going to hell etc
If free will doesn't exist then that's hypocritical. God's punishment wouldn't be "moral"

Hell is just a literary meme. Hell has a metaphysical value , and it can be argued that if one believes in idealism (much less retarded than positivism for one), hell could be very real. Instead of burning embers and volcanic lavas youd prolly just be thrown (a la heidegger) into a world prolly similar to this one except worse in terms of political climate etc. and so semite theology simply grasps this underlying signification and transforms it into punishment, morality etc. explained well in Beyond Good and Evil.
