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

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

You can go to a prison and talk to the inmates, tour the facilities, chat with the guards, interview the warden.

Well, that was the argument that NonZeroSum used when I was arguing prisons do not exist on their forum. However, I have tried to perform an experiment to test that, and I failed.

If you want to argue against the existence of Hell, by all means do so.

And will you ban me if I try to argue against the existence of prisons?

It is intellectually perverse to deny - or even question - the existence of prisons. Do you also doubt the existence of hospitals, schools, police stations, public libraries, or other social institutions? If so, why? If not, why not? Skepticism is all well and good (and a very useful tool) but to question the existence of prisons when the evidence that they DO exist is nothing short of overwhelming isn't skepticism. It isn't even a sensible endeavour in logic.

No, we don't ban people simply for saying stupid, idiotic things or for taking positions that are laughably absurd. So you're safe on that score.
