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

[RozzerusUnrelentus]

Can you clarify just what your argument is about? Is it whether prisons exist or not, or prisons exist without justification? Spell it out coherently.

And this: 'But one cannot rationally believe prisons are a good thing...' Who said? Do you apply that argument to the armed services? Or mental institutions? Sweeping statements won't help you.

OK, how can one rationally believe prisons are a good thing? How can putting a criminal into a place from which he will return with even more psychological problems be a good thing? ... <snip>...</snip>

My bold.

I pointed out that sweeping statements wouldn't help you, and you come back with a sweeping statement. What would you have society do? Forget Karl Popper - he wasn't voted in to run any country or play any part in societal norms.
