If Satan wants to be there, then why should the rest of us be scared of it?

Unfortunately not yet! he is busy tempting and torturing people on earth at this time. satan does not want to be in the lake of fire, which will be his final destination. Neither does he want to be alone in his eternal judgemental suffering. Why do you think he's so busy keeping people from discovering God's love for them? he knows that if they don't repent and turn away from their sins, they will be keeping him company in hell. It truely is a place to dread. I heard about a book called '23 minutes in hell.' If you still have doubts about its 'downside',you might want to check it out. I'm sure it will clear up any questions you may have concerning 'the coziness' of hell!

No, unless judgment Day has happened and I slept through it....He will have to wait for his punishment just like the unbelievers, on a day of God's choosing. If you are not saved, you should be really scared.
"Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
"The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire." Revelation 20:11-15
From this symbolic representation, we learn how Judgment Day will appear from heaven's viewpoint. Once we are assembled before God's throne, then we will each be judged and sent to either heaven or hell.
All who do not beleive in Jesus Christ as their Savior will go to Hell...plain and simple....

Nope. He's been cast down upon the earth, and is ranging back and forth seeking those whom he may devour. And he knows that his time is short.
And yes, if you had any sense at all, you WOULD be scared of Hell. It was created FOR Satan and his demons. Men were NEVER intended to go there! If God weeps for those who choose Hell, you better believe it's not going to be fun!
Adjust your thinking now, while you CAN!

that is some kind of funny and smart question very introspective. well. he may want to be there, doesnt mean we should care to join him. I mean moles like to live underground and seem to have no probs, but I dont see why we as humans should follow a mole home to live. maybe Satan isnt actually sitting in the fire, just stirring it and he has a nice crib located near to the giant lake of flames and has solid airconditioning. so I dont think we should want to live with him, if he is the father of all evil, then you know he surely will not want to be sharing his "airconditioned crib beside the flaming lake of fire reserved for his victims" with anyone

No he isn't burning in hell right now, he is out with the rest of the fallen angels making people sin. No he doesn't want to burn and suffer in eternal tortue, but think about it... He wanted to be like God, his jealousy put him in the position he is in now. Jealousy puts a lot of people in bad positions, causing them to mess up relationships or whatever, it happens all the time. Now, since he doesn't want to go alone, and wants to get back at God for his punishment and take as many people he can with him by making them sin.

Not yet, he will be cast into hell at the end of time. Right now he is on earth deceiving all he can. He knows his fate and wants many to suffer with him. He doesn't want to go there, he was cast out of Heaven for being arrogant!

He's not burning in the lake of fire right now. He will be thrown in to the fire after the millenium at the end of the world. Right now, he's trying to mislead and tempt people like he's misleading all the atheists and nonchristians on here.

Nope, Satan is roaming the earth seeking out who to devour next. Who said Satan wants to be there? He chose that path out of selfish pride. He wanted to reign above God, not be in an eternal lake of fire. However, he cannot deny his fate and will receive it in the end times.
