I despise the unspoken assumption when Chrisitians roll out this excuse to be bothersome; that even if it were all true I would want to be in heaven. A lake of fire and gnashing of teeth seems pleasant compared to spending time with those that yearn for the end times. As far as the story goes the devil really hasn't made any claims. There aren't a list of bullshit rules and even if there were and I broke them what's the punishment? Banishment to heaven? Now that I think about it, this may be sufficient to ensure my obedience.
This makes me laugh when atheists say they would rather experience unabated torment in hell than unabated happiness in heaven. You're being dishonest here. And I do wish that everyone would end up in heaven, but I'm not assuming that everyone I meet would want to be there because they don't have a realistic perception of heaven and hell.
