Not according to the Bible.
First, according to the Bible, Christians don't go to hell - they go to heaven.
Second, according to the Bible, only God the Father has the authority to send anyone to hell, so if anyone is "reserving rooms in hell" for anyone, it's God, not Satan.
Third, according to the Bible, hell is not a place where Satan rules. It is a place where everyone who is there is existing in torment, even Satan. Satan won't be sitting on a throne in hell with a pitchfork ordering people around. He will be punished in hell just as much as, if not more than, everyone else who is there.
Any man, weather he is Christian, Buddahist, Muslim, Jew etc. can be led to God on a righteous path in this life, God is a language - transcending word as is water, or milk. God called by any other name will still smell as sweet, therefore God will welcome his children home regardless of the language they choose to speak to him in.
This can only be true if Christianity is not true. If all roads lead to God, then any and every religion in the world is correct, except Christianity. But if Christianity is correct, then
only Christianity is correct, because Christianity claims to be
the only way. This is one of the reasons I find the Christian argument to make so much more sense than any other religion. The truth, by it's very nature, should be intolerant because there can be only one truth. Christianity is considered intolerant because it says it's the only way. Other religions say, in effect, "we'd like it if you were one of us, but really any way will get you to God, as long as you live a good life." How can a religion that says "any way will do" be considered the truth, if it also tells you that something else is also the truth? There can't be more than one truth.
Just my opinions!
