I don't think it necessarily makes a person bad. For one, it's the internet so we don't really know how they truly feel or if they're just trolling professionally.
Or, pretty fun, which torture and such affiliated can indeed be. I wouldn't hate someone for having a power trip... I certainly wouldn't call them 'evil' or 'bad' just for their humanity, else I'd have to drop the whole world in the trash bin.
I've got the trash biiiin in my hands, blah... and stuff.

I mean, imagine that you believe that god is this wonderful amazing deity who deserves to be showered in worship. Imagine you honestly believe that tormenting people who ridicule this god will please the god immensely. No worldly things should please you more than pleasing this god.
Or, delusions in general. Some people aren't 'bad', per say... that's just the way they break this time. So, maybe they're bad today, good tomorrow, and here to stay...
Or, we could kill them off for whoever they were yesterday. But that could get ugly (well, that's what they say, anyway).
Quote:I guess I think that taking pleasure in the thought of sinners going to a real biblical hell is more a sign of a bad upbringing and a weak mind than a bad person.
Why does it have to be a weak mind? Smart people believe their faiths all the stronger, since they can do that thing where they justify their beliefs and stuff.

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
