We gain nothing from it, that's not what hell is for, what is gained, eternal justice as promised by God. Teaearlgreyhot has been arguing that a balance between the saved and lost needs to be met, this is it. Eternal grace + eternal punishment = justice.
Except a) A sin committed temporally cannot be eternal and b) Your god's idea of sin is screwed up - what he calls sin isn't always sinful.
