They take "comfort" in that?

 Hi Jenny,

    Like so many others, I too want to express my sorrow in your loss of your childhood innocence at the hands of extremely sinful men.  And the same goes for the tragic story of Rocky's two sisters.

The way you have chosen to not allow bitterness to take root in your soul is very encouraging.  Bitterness and resentment, hatred, etc. are strongholds that give those who have wronged you continued control over your life, emotions, attitudes, and even your physical wellbeing.

     Regarding the original topic of people "taking comfort" in people burning forever, I too have been amazed that ANYONE would want ANYBODY -- even the Hitlers and Sadaam Husseins of the world -- to be tortured endlessly for trillions of years, in the most horrible way imaginable.  How much more decent, everyday people who are nice to others and try to be good family people, but don't share the same religious views as oneself? 

And yet there are millions of Christians who feel it is "fair" and "justifiable" and "righteous" for them to suffer billions of years of torture.  Seems crazy that this is the prevailing view in Christiandom, doesn't it?

Warmly,
Rob
