Seriously I see many answers to my questions saying things along the lines of: "You can go to hell with the Devil" or "When you're in hell you won't be laughing".
Is this a pleasing idea in anyones mind?
If hell lives up to the description I would not wish it on anyone or anything, apart from "cockchafer beetles".

That's the only way they can sleep at night. Otherwise, they'd lose their mind in despair from trying to understand your logical arguments.

No Christian would think in that way. I know there are people here who describe themselves as "Christian" and seem very keen on the idea that other people should go to hell. Basically, I guess they like the idea of being a "Christian" but they really have no idea what it means. There are lots of people around who do get satisfaction from the anticipation of other people's suffering but, thank God, they are in a minority.

I agree. I don't see how people could actually want their fellow people to be tortured or burned alive. Wishing physical harm on someone for having a different opinion seems spiteful and immoral to me. I've gotten those kind of comments, too. I usually wonder why some people say religion makes them more loving and compassionate, but then say they can't wait for everyone else to be thrown in hell.

According to Dante's Inferno, you'd probably end in Hell up with the virtuous pagans, which seems like a pretty sweet deal. They don't get punished, and you spend eternity talking to some of the all-time greatest philosophers.
I'd be somewhat satisfied if you ended up there, because I think you'd like it. I'd be unhappy if I found out anybody had to endure eternal punishment, though.

Great Question.....
If Christianity is based on love, forgiveness and the like - Why would they find pleasure in saying these things?
But I have repeatedly heard "ur going to hell" comments from them - Maybe it makes them feel superior, as if they know something we dont...
I agree with what u say

I'm sure that a lot of the folks who frequent this site who call themselves Christian would be pleased, but real Christians are not pleased because God would have it that everyone would be with him and not have to be put away eternally. I would hope that you don't end up in hell and I don't wish hell on anyone (except when I totally lose my temper, of course, which still happens on occasions, but I regret it).

As a Christian I do not find that sort of remark pleasing helpful or clever because heaven is only achieved through the Grace of God. It follows that I can not and should not try to anticipate God's judgement or mercy by saying who will or will not go to heaven

It always sounds like it, doesn't it?
If you wanted to be spiteful, you could just find satisfaction in that they will waste their entire lives focusing on a fantasy and they will never get another chance at existence and their wasting it.
