This person is vile, he would be very happy that a hell exists. He would be very happy that a place of torture like hell exists and he would love seeing people suffer or knowing they do. He loves the existance of a place called hell. What if killing hell would be the ultimate punishment dealt by god for this man.

But in my understanding hell is not a place, it's a perception and so one person's hell can be another person's heaven - e.g. listening to a Maria Carey song, some people love her, some hate her, but they both experience the same thing! Therefore, to be in hell, this person would have to subjected to all the sensations or feelings that gave him the most pain - which might mean hearing beautiful music, being surrounded by lovely sights and scents, things which to another person might be heaven, but he would still be in hell!

You absolutely have to read William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell". (see the link under Source).

Enjoy.

An additional response - imagine that someone like Pat Robertson is correct about the whole heaven and hell thing, and as a result winds up in heaven. Now, Pat Robertson is a complete 100% ignorant jerk, right? Being around him for all eternity would be, well, hellish, right? So there's a paradox there. If it's heaven, Robertson isn't there. If Robertson IS there, it's not heaven. Logically Robertson (and the folks like him - Ralph Reed, Fred Phelps, the creationists, the anti-abortion folks, etc.) cannot be correct about heaven, because if they were, it wouldn't be heaven.

I don't believe hell or heaven is a place. I believe hell is a death sentence where one gets erased from existance and Earth gets restored. After Hellfire cleans the Earth, then the saved live on the restore Earth. Although the bible says the saved go up through the heavens, it's to a specific place called the city of God. They then return with it 1000 years later. Read revelation 20.

HELL This word is found in many Bible translations, In the same verses in other translations read 'the grave' "the world of the dead" and so forth. Other Bibles simply transliterate the original-language words that are sometime rendered "hell"; that is, they express them with the letters of our alphabet but leave the words untranslated. What are these words? The Hebrew 'she'ol and its Greek equivalent 'hai'des," which refer, not to an individual burial place, but to the common grave of dead mankind; also the Greek 'ge'en-na,' which is used as the symbol of eternal destruction. In both Christendom and in many non-Christian religions it is taught that hell is a place inhabited by demons and where the wicked, after death, are punished, some believe with torment.
Ecclesiastes 9: 5, 10: The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.....All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work, nor devising, nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol, the place to which you are going. [ if they are conscious of nothing, they aren't feeling any pain]
Psalm 146:4 His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts do perish
Ezekiel 18: 4 "The Soul" that is sinning, it itself will perish -- This shows that the soul is the body; and not an entitiy that lives on after death
The concept of 'soul,' meaning a spiritual, immaterial reality, separate from the body.........does not exist

I guess he/she would just have eternity to "enjoy" extreme unending pain and anquish. To have total darkness and complete aloneness. To suffer so intenstly that they bite down on their own tongues. Without any goodness or mercy present. Without any hope that it would ever end. If they really like it, I guess they made the correct decision in rejecting God's only way to escape hell: Receiving Jesus Christ as Savior.

John 3:16-21 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. God did not send his Son into the world to condemn it, but to save it. "There is no judgment awaiting those who trust him. But those who do not trust him have already been judged for not believing in the only Son of God. Their judgment is based on this fact: The light from heaven came into the world, but they loved the darkness more than the light, for their actions were evil. They hate the light because they want to sin in the darkness. They stay away from the light for fear their sins will be exposed and they will be punished. But those who do what is right come to the light gladly, so everyone can see that they are doing what God wants."

Assuming heaven and hell exist (I don't believe so otherwise) If they were a bad person and weren't saved by Jesus, Satan owns them. When christians go to hell Satan has to break there spirit and make them hate God for sending them there. The person that enjoys hell and wasn't saved probably didn't care to much about God anyway, so he'd be promoted to General in Satan's army vs God.
I'm wiccan my mom is christian, just today we were having the conversation that when everyone dies they will see Jesus and if they weren't saved Jesus will say he never knew them even if they then say he is their Lord. She asked me what I was going to do when it was Jesus I seen and not my God and Goddess. She said the bible says everyone will say "My Lord, Jesus Christ" but for a few it would be too late.
"I will make it a point, if that happens, that my words are not "My Lord, Jesus Christ" but "Well, sh*t... Which way to Hell?"
She came back telling me but I'd suffer for all eternity. I replied.
"Suffering is only a state of mind, I'm sure I could convince myself that it didn't hurt and if I'm damned to hell anyway might as well make the most of my situation. Satan can't be all that bad."
She was pretty upset with me today.

Well, if you reject God and His plan for salvation through the blood of Christ you'll be going there soon enough.
When you get there, you can decide for yourself if that's what you really like or not. Unfortunately, once your there, you'll not have a choice after that. The Bible says that those in hell will be weeping and nashing their teeth. It also described an incident with an evil ruler that went to hell and was crying out for even a drop of water for his tongue, unfortunately, no one could quench his thirst. If you think that sounds great, have fun.

I can only imagine that hell would be what ever you feel is the worst experience ever. So if right now, you absolutely hate country music, in hell they would have country music playing non-stop. Also, everyone hates pain, so hell would be the worst pain you have ever felt, non stop for eternity...Kinda a bad place to think about. I don't believe in hell though, so I'm not falling for the "go to my church or burn in hell for eternity" scam. Really it was the best way to get people to believe and put money in the plate.

No he would not go to heaven. Going to heaven is about being able to be with God every moment of everyday. If someone loved hell, they would not want to be with God everyday. However even Satan who is the most evil creature hates hell, so the whole loving hell is not really an issue.

If a person understood really knew the difference between heaven and hell it would be impossible for a person to choose hell. God gave man intellect thus there would never be a person choose the worse.
