Hell's permanence is a problem for Christians. I'm sure they can go about making hell on earth arguing about it.

However, other than schism and "divide and conquer," I don't see where such an argument makes any difference to either atheists or pagans. Neither of us believe in an evil tormentor or his alleged home; we have evil tormentors right here in real life, and I always thought Hell was a nickname for Cleveland.
