"Why is it reasonable to believe in prisons, but not in the hell?"
#56
RE: "Why is it reasonable to believe in prisons, but not in the hell?"
Burning them would be a waste of effort wood and warrant. What christians were doing back in the day, as they destroyed temples and whatnot, was removing the financial advantage and instruments that the temple represented. Christianity can be suppressed in exactly the same way, without the torches.

Similar situation with prisons, especially in the us. If the money for incarcerated bodies dries up, it shouldn't surprise us to find fewer people incarcerated and fewer things deemed jailable offenses. Churches have been shuttering up even as they gorge themselves on the public teat because there just isn't enough money left in that game. Too many nones.
