And now, fun with Dante! This really reminds me of my senior English class. [http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.html](http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.html) I’m in Limbo! I’m a _virtuous_ pagan, so there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll take hanging out with the cool pagan philosophers and writers over the pious saints any day! ---

Damn, level 6, Dis! OK, I am a heretic according to Dante, but I thought I was more virtuous than that. Of course, I suspect oral sex counts against me, and I don’t see anything wrong with it… ---

I got Level 7. “Extreme” on all but the first two (very low) and the gluttony one (high). ---

I get to Limbo! Except I never have been able to go very low - I’m usually eliminated in the second or third round…what? If only I could have unreservedly said “yes” to that whole “Do you believe in God” thing, I’d have gotten into Purgatory instead. Maybe I should try harder. The only thing I don’t understand is that I initially came out “High” in level of violence. The only thing on that quiz I agreed to that I can even remotely conceive of as violent was taking God’s name in vain. And when I switched that to a “no,” I still came out as “moderate” in violence. What’s up with that? ---

Just purgatory. _sigh_ Though I suppose that’s a good thing. ---

Just Limbo for me. I feel like such a wimp. ---

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell! Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level | Score Purgatory | High Level 1 - Limbo | Low Level 2 | Very High Level 3 | Low Level 4 | Low Level 5 | High Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very Low Level 7 | High Level 8- the Malebolge | High Level 9 - Cocytus | Low I suppose I should have expected as much.:smack: ---

I’m in the seventh- violent. Pretty intense for a pacifist. ---

Sixth level of hell, for me. In a flaming tomb for a heretic, for eternity. Level Who are sent there? Score Purgatory Repenting Believers Very Low Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers Low Level 2 Lustful Low Level 3 Gluttonous High Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious High Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Very High Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics Very High Level 7 Violent Very High Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Moderate Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous High You know, to be frank, I was expecting either the Wood of Suicides or the Plains of Burning Sands. You know, right next to Capaneus. ---
