Why are so many Christians against annihilation in hell when scripture supports it?

Nonsense, there is no indication that the Pharisees etc. were still listening. Immediately after the Lazarus story Jesus was still talking to His disciples, "Then said He unto His disciples..." The Lazarus in Luke 16 was not the Lazarus Jesus resurrected. If the Pharisees could still hear Jesus they may not even have known about the resurrected Lazarus Pharisees, they did not follow Jesus around and monitor all of His activities.

Nonsense! It's clearly a parable and the Pharisees were listening---as you pointed out. And you are very wrong---they did follow Jesus around --- like little detectives always looking for a way to entrap Him!
