when you got there you find out that nonChristians were allowed in? would it make you happy or sad to find out that Hell wasn't as crowded as you thought it would be?

If any Christians were to be rejoicing that ANY non-christians or in fact ANYONE is in hell... then that Christian is basically just a christian by name and form, but not by essence and heart.
Why would anyone be happy someone ( anyone ) was in Hell? ( putting spiritual beliefs aside for a moment ) Someone's mother or father, someone's wife or child who were not "saved" in the conventional sense, I think a TRUE heart Christian would be thankful to know that their God is all-forgiving and all- loving. For anyone who jumps for joy to see ANYONE in hell... I guess THAT person would be more deserving of the ugly place for wishing others to go there..so totally not Christ-like.
No matter how "bad" we judge someone, whether they are Martyrs, Warlords, Zealots, Fanatics, Murderers, Presidents etc etc. Each of them is a Loved One of someone out there. To wish ill for another person's beloved is really not a very nice thing at all.. whether they are Christian, Buddhist, Muslim or Pagan... or any faith

Considering that non-believers aren't allowed in to heaven, that's a non-issue.
And as a side note, it would be awesome if hell was empty except for Satan and his demons. But since the way the world is going now doesn't show progress in that direction, the believers in the world have to do what they can to spread the Good News.

I would be very happy if no one ended up in hell. Living the Christian life is not a burden, it has brought me much joy and comfort to walk through this life with Jesus. You guys will have some catching up to do, but that is OK, we got eternity. I really feel no pleasure in the thought of anyone in hell.

Of course. Heaven is for anyone who accepts Jesus and brings him into their life. If a non-Christian believes that then they have the right to be there too. I would be glad that Hell wasn't as crowded as it probably will be.

I would be sad.
I want everyone to be saved, I wish no one to go into hell for all eternity. However, God cannot lie. He says that most will reject Him and be eternally lost. So if I get to heaven and see that God was wrong, that he is not "Perfect" that would make me sad.
God would then not be perfect or holy and my faith would have been in vain.
I will ask you a question now also. How would you feel if you studied very hard for a test and everyone else in your class cheated. When the grades came out and everyone got A's would you feel somewhat cheated?
That is a typical human emotion, however God is not typical and He is not a slave to human emotion.
He loves us all equally and it is His desire that we all spend eternity in heaven with Him.
We all have to make that decision for ourselves. Whom will we side with? The world? Or God Almighty?
God cannot lie, or make a mistake, or mis-speak ever.
If He says most people will "Choose" to go to hell
That is exactly what will happen.
It's sad, but God says it is true.
God Bless You.....Peace.

It's simple. God loves all. Why would he only let Christians in ?
And why do you wish Hell were crowded ?

Well first off Hell was not mad for you and I it was mad for Satan and his angles.
It saddens me that anyone has to go to hell but it is their choice by choosing to do evil.

It would make me happy, it hurts when you know the fate of people you love might have.
