Nick got me thinking about our justice system and Dante's Inferno. Ironically enough, there's a quiz. www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mvYour fate has been decided.... You are one of the lucky ones! Because of your virtue and beliefs, you have escaped eternal punishment. You are sent to Purgatory! 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.

Somehow I made it into purgatory. I have no idea how. Dante would have flayed my skin off.
The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to Purgatory!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels: Level | Score Purgatory | Very High Level 1 - Limbo | Moderate Level 2 | Moderate Level 3 | Low Level 4 | Very Low Level 5 | High Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very Low Level 7 | High Level 8- the Malebolge | Moderate Level 9 - Cocytus | Very Low

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.
Hell Yeah! No pun intended. I scored very high on Lust (2) Gluttonous(3) and Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers (8)

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 The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world.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.
wtf?!?!?!oh yes...i have lived a very cruel, vindictive and hateful life...i do admitt...i need anger management....but....crazy!

I was thinking of that movie when I was taking the quiz, Macha. There are definitely some parallels between the Inferno and Se7en. Oooh, that lust lesson had to suck. I didn't even get it at first when I watched it. I was like, "what happened to him? OH. Oooh."
Didn't you score high in lust girly?

that man was more than a little overweight. he was na-na.
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 Repenting Believers Very Low Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers Low Level 2 Lustful Very Low Level 3 Gluttonous Low Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Moderate Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy High Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics High Level 7 Violent Moderate Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Moderate Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Low

Gluttony (From Lat. gluttire, to swallow, to gulp down), the excessive indulgence in food and drink. The moral deformity discernible in this vice lies in its defiance of the order postulated by reason, which prescribes necessity as the measure of indulgence in eating and drinking.
Stright from the Catholic Dictionary, my dear. It's not necessarily being overweight. Just indulging the consumption of food or drink. If you are an alcholic, you are considered gluttonous

seriously...I dont know! I thought I was gonna get into purgitory to say the least. But level 3???
I went over the answers, I guess it was the temper, not regularly attending mass,not helping charities, using God's name in vain, watching violent movies, criticizing others for things ive done, dont make an effort to save electricity, etc.
I know those are bad, but cmon!
7+ out of 60+ questions definitely puts you in the fires of hell.
