Worst one that I heard was that someone asked what the purpose of Hell was and the response was "Purpose is only relevant to time, but hell exists outside of time and therefore has no purpose"  Sounds like some really absurd philosophy that you would have to be really bored to come up with. 

Another one was what good is hell.  Response "Hell is evil, purgatory and heaven are both good". 

This is a link used to attempt to reason the "reality" of hell.  http://books.google.com/books?id=gK5LoeW8J2YC&pg=PA327&dq=catholic+apologetics+annihilation+cs+lewis&cd=1#v=onepage&q&f=false
See pg 299 and see how ridiculus this is.

"Hell exists to increase the glory of God (and the saints)."
1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved...
John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...
