"Why is it reasonable to believe in prisons, but not in the hell?"

RE: "Why is it reasonable to believe in prisons, but not in the hell?"
It is hard to believe that some prisons exist, like these Nordic prison cells that look like $3,000 apartments in San Francisco.

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"
