Surely if you sin and get sent to Hell, then Satan would look after you because you are bad, like him?
On the other hand, if you are sent to heaven for judgement, with God being all forgiving, then he would open his arms to you.
I say if you can live with your conscience and are not harming others, do what you want!

Also; how can satan hate us because we are in the image of God when he himself was made as an archangel in the image of God?

Good question. Especially as 'hell' is simply man's common grave. Whether it be a hole in the ground, or buried at sea, or even cremated and the ashes scattered. Doesn't matter. Along with sickness and death itself, it will be done away with.
(Revelation 21:4) And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.”
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
Hell is Hades.
It is not a permanent place of torment.
(Revelation 20:12-13) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha′des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.

If you sin, that doesn't mean you get sent to hell. Only if you reject God's gift of salvation. And Hell doesn't sound like a nice place to be: you're always burning, and worms are eating you. And if Satan is bad, don't you think he's gonna be thinking about other things besides looking after you? Jesus says that the two greatest commandments are 1)Loving God and 2)Loving others as yourself. So if you love someone, naturally you're not going to want to hurt them, lie to them, envy them, cheat on them, etc. The same for God. But you can still be a "good person" and not go to heaven. You need Jesus!

In Hell, Satan won't be able to look after u...wat would he do?! ur burning and burning foreverm he can't put out the fire and even if he can, God won't let him
When Adam and Eve were sent to Earth, Satan kind of made a deal with God and told him that i can make ur ppl commit crimes and God said whoever goes with u will be sent to Hell
Heaven is definitely better!!!
so yes, u should worry cuz if u go to Hell, nothing will save u and u will be burning for eternity :s

There is no such place as a fiery hell.
A loving God wouldn't invent such a place (1 JOHN 4:8)
The word is mistranslated & means the common grave of mankind
The only worry you should have is whether you are pleasing to God or not & the only way you can find that out is by examining those beliefs with the scriptures.
If you see that what you believe & what you read in the bible conflict - then change. God requires humble people who are willing to do this. If you aren't humble - you are unacceptable to God, and, at Armageddon - you will be removed along with Satan.
The choice is ours

There is no IF about it. ALL have sinned and permanently separated themselves from the awesome uncreated Creator.
Being a "nice" person just doesn't do the job of getting us into heaven. God does not grade on a curve. But while we were yet dead in our sins Jesus Christ died for the ungodly. Those people who choose to accept Him as their LORD and Savior will spend eternity with Him in heaven.
Our heavenly Father does not "send" anyone to hell. He doesn't want anyone to be separated from Him but He has shown us the WAY and He has given us the choice.
Have you heard Cat and Dog Theology? It is a set of 4 cds and it is very eye-opening as well as a lot of fun to listen to. It describes one type of people who long to be with God eternally and seek Him out in this life. Then there is the other type that is not seeking God but rather backing away from Hell.

Don't believe in hell nor heaven, my dear. Even if I did, Satan would probably not look after me from everything I've heard and read about the creature. What makes you assume that if people go to a hypothetical hell, they are automatically bad?
As far as I know "hell" is on earth, the holocaust was hell on earth. I don't know what else that was. Anyway don't worry yourself about heaven and hell, they don't exist. Don't let religion bully you in being afraid of "hell." Take care.

You're talking about Hell like it's really there. But Hell is something you have to believe in, otherwise you can't be scared of it.
It's rubbish to say that Satan will look after you because you're just as bad as him. That's not the point of Hell.
If you believe in it, Hell is scary because it stands for eternal punishment/torment.
Same goes for Heaven, but then the other way around.

Hell is not going to be one big party. Imagine a world without any good in it, just pure evil, that's hell. And satan won't take care of you, he wants you in hell because he hates God not because he loves you.

there are three words translated to 'hell', neither actually refer to firey torment for eternity. the hebrew word sheol, and the greek word hades refer to the grave. nothing more, nothing less.
ecclesiastes 9:5 says the dead are conscious of nothing. therefore, how can someone unconscious be tortured?
the other word translated to hell is gehenna. it was originally a rubbish dump outside jerusalem where fire burned constantly. it is where the bodies of people not deserving of burial were burned. it simbolized everlasting destruction. no return, but no consciousness.
the lake of fire mentioned in revelation, where death and hades will be thrown, and later satan and his followers, represents the same as gehenna. it is a simbolic place which means complete death, no return or hope of resurrection.
however, the scripture from ecclesiastes still holds, there is no consciousness in gehenna.
on a happier note, romans 6:7,23 shows that death is the payment for our sin. when we die, we have paid our debt. only those who sin against Jehovah's Holy spirit will not be resurrected (matthew 12:31,32)
but john 5:28,29 says there will be a resurrection of both righteous and unrighteous. so anyone who dies and hasn't sinned against the spirit, will be resurrected. then we can return to perfection as we were originally intended. and as intended, we will live on the earth just like adam and eve before they sinned.
revelation 14;1,4 shows there will be 144000 in heaven ruling as kings and priests. the rest of those to survive armageddon and those resurrected will live under their rule under Christ, on the earth. (psalm 37:29)
