Dante's Inferno Test - Impurity, Sin... and Damnation

[woeful painter]

Since we are all having different kinds of tests about ourselves, how about a little afterlife test for a change. Just for fun, if Dante's depiction of the afterlife happens to be true, wouldn't you like to know whether you're saved, or how far down you'll be thrown in hell? :D

I am in Purgatory...for now... :thumbs_up

Purgatory

You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven.


Though one wrong step and I'm thrown way down the 7th level (which happens to hold my next highest score) :brow:

Level 7

Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.

Almost forgot my summarry:

Purgatory Very High
Level 1 Low
Level 2 Moderate
Level 3 Moderate
Level 4 Very Low
Level 5 Low
Level 6 Very Low
Level 7 High
Level 8 Moderate
Level 9 Very Low

[kilted exile]

Oh dear, perhaps repentance is in order:


The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 6 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis

You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of Hell.

Purgatory Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo Very Low
Level 2 High
Level 3 Very High
Level 4 Low
Level 5 Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis Extreme
Level 7 High
Level 8- the Malebolge Very High
Level 9 - Cocytus Moderate

[Nightshade]

well Im in Purgatory too.
But my next score is Limbo.


Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

[Petrarch's Love]

I'm in Limbo, with Purgatory coming in a close second. I guess I'm OK hanging out with Homer and Virgil. :)

Nonsense it's cheaper down here; no need to pay a heating bill for example :goof:

[AimusSage]

Not so in the ninth hell I've been told, they tell me it's quite chilly down there, but I have to take their word for it, and I don't how much that counts for. :D

I guess the city isn't that bad. :)

Hmm... a violent, treacherous, lustful heretic. Better stay away from me, kids! :lol:

[papayahed]

Second Level of Hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.

Yeah, and there's a lot more action too...not to mention jobs :D

But Limbo really does look good... :thumbs_up

How can this be??????????????????



God hates me.

Don't take it seriously Ry...
It's just for fun :nod:

[emily655321]

Hmmm...I believe we'll make really good friends Emily :lol: :lol: :lol:
:lol: Perhaps I should add "vile temptress" to my list of sins.

And, yeah, Limbo sounds totally awesome.

There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.I see no downside. That actually sounds better than most people's earthly lives!

My mother raised my brother and I Catholic, but my father remained non-religious. We used to joke about him spending eternity with all the little babies in Limbo. :p (Not seriously, of course.)

[woeful painter]

What a coincidence! I'm Christian and my dad doens't have a religion also...well, he was formerly a protestant...but then he didn't really know what he liked and just remained neutral...I tell you this really is a start of a menacingly good friendship! :lol:

Yes, Limbo is like baby heaven...
Does that mean we'd all be babysitting when we get there...? :eek2: I can just Imagine Plato, Virgil, et. al. playing with the little angles :lol:

[RobinHood3000]

Limbo: the place where there are LeGos everywhere, but no one ever steps on them.

Who of us pagans could ask for more?

Oh, that's funny. Well, actually, my father was raised an atheist, but hovers more in the "agnostic" camp. I eventually joined him on the dark side, while my brother drifted into fundamentalist Protestantism. My poor mother! :p

[beer good]

Fifth Level of Hell
The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.
Actually, I think I've been to parties like this.

Dante's Inferno Test - You Have Been Judged

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 9 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus!

Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus

This is the deepest level of hell, where the fallen angel Satan himself resides. His wings flap eternally, producing chilling cold winds that freeze the thick ice found in Cocytus. The three faces of Satan, black, red, and yellow, can be seen with mouths gushing bloody foam and eyes forever weeping, as they chew on the three traitors, Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. This place is furthest removed from the source of all light and warmth. Sinners here are frozen deep in the ice, faces out, eyes and mouths frozen shut. Traitors against God, country, family, and benefactors lament their sins in this frigid pit of despair.

Gee It's Cold down here! Can you spear me some winter clothes?:cold:
Who knew that Hell would freeze over!
