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

[FlatAssembler]

I would like to believe that at least some people just don't know why or that what theyre doing is wrong, and supplying them with that information would prevent some amount of human misery.

And isn't that authoritarianism? I mean, what gives you the right to decide for other people what is right and what is wrong, and to punish them for doing what you think is wrong?

Recidivism is a legit subject, but idk what kind of data you have where you're from, especially given recent history.

The statistics that recidivism for murder is between 1 and 2 percent is from Wikipedia.
I know a few murderers, most of them killed while they were high on drugs, and one killed while she was drunk. At least that's what they claim. They also claim to have been in a prison.

How much time you got, buddy?

Well, not much, the university is killing me.

I was scouring the countryside for war criminals.

And why would a sane person participate in Vukovar Massacre, for example? Because, if you do participate in Vukovar Massacre, there are two things that can happen to you: you can end up killed, or you can survive and forever be remembered as one of the bad guys. If you oppose Vukovar Massacre, you can end up killed by the illegal army, or you can end up in history as one of the good guys. Therefore, the rational thing to do is not to join the illegal army led by Raznatovic that committed Vukovar Massacre.

What is meant by "believe in prisons"? That they exist or that they're just punishments for misdeeds?

Both. I think that if they are not just punishment for misdeeds, it logically follows they do not actually exist. That is by the principle of rationality, one of the basic principles of modern social sciences.

he has to stop posting in Latin.

What is wrong with posting some things in Latin? I think texts (and videos, such as the

I recently made) in Latin about atheism are a useful tool against pseudo-intellectuals who won't listen otherwise.

And what do you think, how can I be happy if I think prisons are real? How can I be happy if I think my mother was really innocent in prison for a year?
