No, I don't think so, but I could very well be wrong.
DAVEH: Perhaps I'm a bit more sensitive to it than you might be.

No, I didn't mean that. I just don't think that you should
assume that they are Christians just because they talk about hope for
someone burning in hell.
DAVEH: I allowed in a previous post that some may speak such out of
anger, even if they aren't Christian. However, there have been a lot
of folks who have made such statements who proclaim being Christian. I
posted the URL to one such yesterday.
I would agree with you that there have been Christians who
have hoped for their enemies to burn in hell.
DAVEH: So I'm not sure why any TTers would take exception when I
suggest that there are Christians who are eager for people to be
consigned to the burning torture of hell. What have I said that is in
error? I really don't think it is a rare occurrence to hear professed
Christians say such things. And, I'd be very surprised if you do think
it
is rare.
Peace
be with you.

If you back up to pre Christian times, you will find that king David
felt the same way at times, even though he was often compassionate.
