Do you believe those in heaven get to watch the torments of ones in hell? What religion are you? Is it the belief of the whole faith?

Jehovah Witness, yes whole faith.
Hell in English is translated from the Hebrew language (Sheol) which means the grave.
Sheol is an unfamiliar term to many. It is a Hebrew word of uncertain derivation. Many religions teach that the dead are still alive, but as the inspired Word of God shows, those in Sheol are dead, without consciousness. Sheol is the common grave of mankind.
Collier’s Encyclopedia says concerning Hell: First it stands for the Hebrew Sheol of the Old Testament and the Greek Hades of the Septuagint and New Testament.
Since Sheol in Old Testament times referred simply to the abode of the dead and suggested no moral distinctions, the word hell, as understood today, is not a happy translation.
Not everyone goes to Heaven.
Psalms 37:
9 For evildoers themselves will be cut off,
But those hoping in Jehovah are the ones that will possess the earth.
11 But the meek ones themselves will possess the earth,
And they will indeed find their exquisite delight in the abundance of peace.
22 For those being blessed by him will themselves possess the earth,
But those upon whom evil is called by him will be cut off.
29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,
And they will reside forever upon it.

Do you really think your Creator is insane to reward his enemy satan with a place to torture us in forever.. That is just a lie that even satan knows is not true, since he is the one responsible for such thinking... Know Gods truths, not the truths of fools .. Was not what happened to adam and eve enough that you would not follow them into the dust for more lies... God made you in His image , start thinking like He does .. There is place of torture , and none of the spirit angel sons of your Creator is watching anything other than what is going on down here.. "woe for the earth for satan has come down to you having great anger, knowing he has a short time left".

Eternal suffering hell for people isn't a biblically based teaching, though many Christians believe it. This one does not.

Whose torments do you mean? I don't know of a single person known to be in Hell. We Christians are required to believe that Hell exists, but who actually thinks they know someone who is there?
Now, I can give you a long list of those known to be in Heaven, but, if you know someone who is in Hell, you are one up on me.

I'm an atheist. I do not believe heaven and hell are real places, so no, I don't think those in heaven get to witness the torments of those in hell.
Honestly... If these things were real, I can't imagine anyone who isn't a complete psychopath actually doing this without begging for universal redemption. Most people simply aren't that cruel and damaged.

The fact of the matter, NO, God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. And if you are a true believer of God, than you will do the will of God and the will of God is to be obedient to God word the Bible only, nothing else.

Hell is NOT a literal place and most people will not be going to heaven either, that is what Gods says, we cannot argue with that.
The teaching that hell is a literal place is based on pagan non-Christian teachings as Hell is a English word and means "everlasting destruction" eternal death and NO MORE!
