Hell can not be found anywhere in the whole of reality, no-one has been there nor comeback despite myriads of claimed near death experiences and religious experiences. There are powerful inductive reasons to not believe in hell for exactly the same reason we suspect Narnia was only a place in CS Lewis' mind. On the other hand there are no inductive reasons at all to believe in a hell. Deductively you cannot make a consistent argument for there being a really nice theme park in the sky and a horrid one in the basement. However compliant someone is they do not deserve eternal happiness for finite goodness nor eternal horrors for finite badness, given a god who is both all loving and just. Thus inductively and deductively hell does and cannot exist.
