Lol, why? Because he said that people in hell are tortured forever?
Well, I got a news for you: if you open "HarperCollins Bible Dictionary" you can see that under Hell it says in very first sentence "a place of eternal punishment for the wicked."
So maybe you should write a letter to theologians who wrote it how they are wrong.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
