I earned these scores for a Level 7: Extreme: Violent & Wrathful and Gloomy Very High: Heretics High: Lustful, Gluttonous, Treacherous Moderate: Prodigal and Avaricious and Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Very Low: Repenting Believers and Virtuous Non-Believers Cool ---

The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis! Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level | Score Purgatory | Very Low Level 1 - Limbo | Moderate Level 2 | High Level 3 | Moderate Level 4 | Moderate Level 5 | Low Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High Level 7 | High Level 8- the Malebolge | Moderate Level 9 - Cocytus | Low “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.” Sounds like fun. ---

You’re already going to Hell, for being a sinner. Is this really the place to be talking about wanting to play with my balls and cue? And, I suppose you have a whole different idea of the proper use of a rack. 😛 ---

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. Think I’m in trouble… :eek: ---

Yeah! I’m Level Five! Strangely, I feel like I’m on the fence of I could go to the pantywaist-kiss ass section of Hell or just grab a cafeteria tray and luge downward into depravity. Feh. ---

I suspect that professing some religious belief would move me to level 3 (gluttonous) or level 5 (wrathful and gloomy), either of which I freely admit to. ---

What is with the present progressive tense being used in the OP: **Which circle of Hell are YOU _going_ to?** I’m already there. Unemployed, depressed, living in my sister’s garage… Hey, anybody want some cheese with the whine I’m enjoying here? Remeber, you go to heaven for the weather, but to the second level of Hell for the company… The Dante’s Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
