Yes, Tertullian. Wasn't he the same guy who essentially said that one of the perks of Heaven would be the opportunity for the saved to witness and gloat over the torments of the damned?
The funny thing is, I have known many Christians who could barely conceal their glee at the prospect of the people who thought they were full of shit suffering eternally. They hate to admit it, but Schadenfreude lies at the heart of much of what passes for 'concern' and 'love' when they preach hellfire to non-believers.
