Some people really want to believe that people who commit atrocious acts in this life, yet seem to escape justice or karma in this life, will get justice in the next. They can't stand the thought that Hitler will have gotten away with killing millions and all he had to go through was a self-inflicted suicide.
I would tell those people who believe in hell because they want justice to: "Let it go, man. Let it go. It is over. It is in the past. Let it go."

But are they comfortable believing that a misguided atheist child from an abusive household, killed while riding the bike he just stole, will receive the same punishment as Hitler?
For simple reason, because that criminals have the other day after death,otherwise, how many bad people have been not got punishment in this world ,furthermore, that the hell mentioned in the Koran

Some do, some don't believe that all will suffer equally in hell.
I don't believe in an afterlife period, but I do believe prisons exist, and people get different sentences for different crimes. Some people believe that about hell.
Not to worry. You did a very good job with making your point.

Umm, it's in the Bible. Believe it or don't.
Choice is your's. Reality is what it is. Believe it or don't.
If it's "reality" - why must one "believe"? It sounds to me as if someone is free to believe in a things existence or not - then it's existence is quite nebulous and far from proven reality.
France exists. That's reality. One never hears of people wandering whether France really exists, however.
The best moment in most Christians lives is when they explore the concept of "Hell" back to its origin and what the Old Testament says about it, and realize that too much Hellenization on the concept produced a horrible idea unworthy of a Just God. If "the wages of sin are death" than so be it. We die prematurely before our time, according to Wisdom Literature in the Bible. But the wages of sin are not "eternal torment" - that's not Justice.
