I am not sure whether that is legal. BalkanInsight reported about a year ago that a Croatian journalist called Gordan Duhacek got into a prison for posting an anti-police message on Twitter. Of course, if prisons don't exist, that story is not true. It also probably is not true even if prisons do exist. The idea that somebody got into a jail for a tweet without there even being a law that says that is too ridiculous to even think about.
This is a better analogy to stories about hell and prisons, imo.
People report stories about hell. All sorts of silly shit. If hell doesn't exist, those stories aren't true. They're also not true even if hell does exist. Ultimately, either notion is ridiculous, and either notion is ridiculous regardless of whether or not it's true.
I suspect that we employ about the same skepticism to either. A living breathing unburnt person tells me they went to the firepron dungeon on account of shaking their pecker too many times? I doubt it, no matter who's running the place or where it's at - but if so....then whoever is running that place, wherever it's at, is being ridiculous.
