http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv

I wound up in the 5th circle. Sorry, couldn't show my breakdown, screwed up the cut-n-paste.

[villager]

1. so did I!

I thought I was, you know, more virtuous. What the hell, eh?

[Briarius]

2. 7th level here

huh, that would suck

[LynzM]

6. Me too....

Wow, are we an evil, awful pair of people :P

[SarahB]

10. I got the same one.

I used to just get that 2nd Level "lustful" thing in taking this test, but apparently I'm get more evil as time moves along. :shrug:

Although, I find the entire concept of evil to be somewhat morally relative anyway. :D

[LynzM]

14. Yeah....

Depends if you're defining 'evil' in terms over overall altruistic tendencies, or a more 'traditional (Christian)' set of values. I'll take the first, please.

[SarahB]

17. Me too. Besides....

[LynzM]

20. Oh yeah...

Even if I don't consider myself a 'Christian' any more, he still had some damn good things to say about being kind to people, helping those in need, and other good stuff!

[KitchenWitch]

11. Well at least you are not alone

I am in the 7th level too.

[hfojvt]

50. If that's true, then when you die

you will be sent to Minnesota without bug spray or A/C

[Bok_Tukalo]

3. First Level of Hell - 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.

[outraged2]

26. First level for me too n/t

[madrchsod]

4. 2 degree for me

Cleopatra is there..hmmmm if she`s as hot as liz taylor in the movie version it won`t be bad at all.....

[Dogmudgeon]

12. Me, two

But the Second Circle isn't a place where lust is slaked -- it's where lust is eternal and unquenchable.

It is the place where longing begins -- and never ends.

See you there.

--p!

[gater]

5. Uh, it said Purgatory, and eventually I'd go to heaven.

Is that good or bad? Does it mean I am boring?

[sakabatou]

31. Me too

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.

[achtung_circus]

8. Oh my, it was the oral sex answers that got me.

Eight Level of Hell - the Malebolge

Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an ampitheatre-shapped pit of despair Wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche. The simonists, wedged into stone holes, and whose feet are licked by flames, kick and writhe desperately. The magicians, diviners, fortune tellers, and panderers are all here, as are the thieves. Some wallow in human excrement. Serpents writhe and wrap around men, sometimes fusing into each other. Bodies are torn apart. When you arrive, you will want to put your hands over your ears because of the lamentations of the sinners here, who are afflicted with scabs like leprosy, and lay sick on the ground, furiously scratching their skin off with their nails. Indeed, justice divine doth smite them with its hammer.

[mcscajun]

9. I'm a Heretic. Go Figure. -- Sixth Level for me.

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.

[Zenlitened]

13. Seventh Level

Apparently, chronic depression since childhood has made me a candidate for The Wood of Suicides. Interesting how Dante equated suicide with murder and war.

:shrug:

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 7 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Seventh Level of Hell!
Seventh Level of Hell

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.

[ashmanonar]

15. hmm...

[Gelliebeans]

16. uh oh I am in level 6

Level 6 - 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.

18. Damn it! Only 8th. I was sure I'd reach the 9th.

Eighth Level of Hell - the Malebolge

Many and varied sinners suffer eternally in the multi-leveled Malebolge, an amphitheater-shaped pit of despair Wholly of stone and of an iron colour: Those guilty of fraudulence and malice; the seducers and pimps, who are whipped by horned demons; the hypocrites, who struggle to walk in lead-lined cloaks; the barraters, who are ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche.

[RevolutionaryActs]

33. Sixth Level of Hell for me.

[tammywammy]

34. 3rd Level - Gluttonous

In the third circle, you find yourself amidst eternal rain, maledict, cold, and heavy. The gluttons are punished here, lying in the filthy mixture of shadows and of putrid water. Because you consumed in excess, you meet your fate beneath the cold, dirty rain, amidst the other souls that there lay unhappily in the stinking mud. Cerebus, a canine monster cruel and uncouth with his three heads and red eyes, dwells in this level. He growls and tears at the damned with his teeth and claws.

What? I like good food.

[The Animator]

35. Level three, evening apparel, casual wear, and gluttony

Well, if I got more of level 2 I wouldn't be compelled to eat so much. But hey, as long as there's a Krispy Creme in the 3rd level it'll be all good... unless there out of milk!

[CanuckAmok]

37. "Three infernal Furies stained with blood"...that's all I need!

How nice!

"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.

40. 2nd level

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.

41. Sixth.

WELCOME TO DIS. HOPE YOU SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE, BITCH.

But, then I'm a virgin. If I'd been involved with anyone like that, I would have been able to get myself to seventh, maybe eigth level, easy.

The problem with the questions is that they're loaded towards a specific worldview, which is to be expected, but, for example:

"Hammering away on scandals is a good way to damage those with whom you disagree politically."

Is a perfectly true statement. It is perhaps a comment on human nature that this is so, but there's no avoiding that it's true.

Rather like the right wing's media machine, there is no room for nuance, even though there are questions that require more than a simple yes or no answer.

"True or False: Some people just deserve to die." True, but I wouldn't dream of being the person who decided who they were.

And then, of course, there's semantics.

"True or False: Some people, such as Nostradamus, are able to predict future events."

Including Nostradamus as an example is a pretty heavy-handed hint at the implied meaning, but still, I can predict the future, to a limited extent: the sun will rise where I am in less than six hours.

[CanuckAmok]

42. No it won't...you're in the 6th circle, with me. No more sunrises for us!

So much for your prediction prediction!

[Shadowen]

44. Actually, where I am now, the sun will rise in less than six hours.

But when I die, then I'll go to Dis.

So mwa!

By the way, great to see a fellow Canucklehead burning but not being consumed.

[SmileyBoy]

45. 1st Level - Limbo

Looks like I'm to spent eternity with NO TORMENT!!!!

[Seabiscuit]

46. 2nd Level of Hell

Lust, eh? Not such a bad sin. ::snicker::

48. Eighth Level of Hell - the Malebolge

The level of the fraudulent, malicious, and panderers.

[hfojvt]

49. I am not sure I like the idea

of associating with all you sinners.
I made it to purgatory in spite of my violent movies and video games.
How does a decent person make it to the fifth level?

[Samurai_Writer]

51. 2nd Level -- damn I'm a lightweight...
