There's really nothing wrong with it, either. Everyone gets a certain amount of satisfaction from watching someone else suffer because they didn't care to heed their warnings. Say what you will, but such feelings aren't indicative of
Christians, but rather
people in general. It has little to do with a lack of compassion. People just like being right.
Plus, we'll finally get to laugh at all those people who called us illogical and definitively stated that God didn't exist (So it's a win-win situation)

I've also seen many Christians try to backtrack out of such statements when they are called on it. No one wants to be seen deriving self-satisfaction from someone else's suffering. But there it is.

People don't want to derive self-satisfaction from someone else's suffering? I call BS. God knows that if tomorrow scientific evidence was produced which refuted beyond a shadow of a doubt the existence of a supernatural deity that you'd take part in the "I-told-you-so!" fest likely to ensue.
