So (some) theists, especially Catholics talk about what heaven is like, ("beatific vision etc") and various levels of how much happiness they will have.
Tommy Aquinas (the Angelic Doctor, a priest, a saint, supposedly a charitable enough Christian that he went to heaven), said that one of the things that will contribute to that happiness of the blessed in heaven, (either in the Compendium, or the Summa Theologica) is that they will be able to see the suffering of their enemies in hell, and that will contribute to their happiness. I wonder just how happy they actually are, if in seeing their enemies suffer (nice guy isn't he) suffer can add anything to their vision of God ?

Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell
