As long as the believer doesn't allow him or herself to see the 'sinners' as human, hell is probably a very satisfying concept. The believer is one of the special people and everyone who doesn't agree with their religion is obviously bad and deserves some type of punishment. When people try to point out how horribly twisted their beliefs are, the believer can fall back on the excuse that everything will make sense once they die. They never question how a good person could believe that a large portion of humanity deserves to be tortured or turned into a caricature of themselves.
