Those in Hell love sinning more than they love God and thus cannot turn toward the Good and Truth that could otherwise be theirs. You would be begging to enter Heaven but asking to take your sin in with you. It is like the proverbial monkey trap. The monkey won’t drop the fruit bait and as such, he cannot pull his fist out of the narrow hole in the coconut.
So, people in hell are actively choosing eternal agony and suffering over god? That doesn’t make any sense. Are they sinning in hell whilst suffering? What sins would someone who has already died and gone to hell not be willing to give up in the name of ending that suffering?
No, we're in hell right now. We prefer our perverted sexual practices and gluttony to the alternative offered by God's church. When suffering is this much fun why opt for hypothetical bliss which sounds so boring?
