No one, but I don't think it's possible to want to go to Hell. Even masochism takes pleasure in pain, but Hell would be displeasure.

I don't think this is a well-defined question, because it's pretty difficult to understand the concept of Hell. (I think its pretty impossible to completely understand it)

But how can you understand eternal suffering if you've never experienced it? All of our ideas are based on experiences, and unless you've experienced something, you can only say indirect things about it.

the demand for a 'true understanding of something nonexistent' is silly. there is nothing to understand, thus what you understand is it, and the general impression of the idea is enough. concreteness does apply to individual conceptions and existences, but not for the mental state of one constantly in doubt over one conception or another. there really is no point in pursuing this further.

Are you always going to sneak in your beliefs to an hypothetical question?
and my response is : If you want to go to hell, you will go to hell. God will not go against your own will and forcefully put you into heaven, if you don't want it.

Is it possible to want to be evil?
