Huh? _Limbo???_ Only a “Very Low” for heresy? I demand a recount! (Scored “high” on Lustful, though. Which will actually be welcome news in a certain quarter … ) ---

I’m going to the Second Level–Lustful! Wheee! I’m in good company though–Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are there too. ---

I’m in level 7- if you have ever engaged in oral sex or anal sex, you are a sodomite, and sodomites go to level 7. I’m not at all violent. ---

Like it’s a big surprise, that I’m a 2nd leveler. “Davebear’s going to the Lustful level of Hell? I’m shocked!” Not that I’m complaining, mind you. It says I’m going to get blown endlessly, and how could that be a bad thing? 😃 Well, okay. I’m paraphrasing. It actually said “Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions”, but that sounds so negative, you know? 😉 ---

Level 8? Plus I got very high or extreme on every level past 2 except 6. Dammit couldn’t someone have told me that being gluttonous, depressed, full of lies, violent and vengeful was bad. ---

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.
