Dante's Inferno Test - You Have Been Judged

gacked from [livejournal.com profile] alessia_brio

Uhmmm, I think I have a very sinful soul...

The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 6 times.

The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

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.

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
LevelScore
Purgatory (Repenting Believers)Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers)Moderate
Level 2 (Lustful)Very High
Level 3 (Gluttonous)High
Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious)Low
Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy)Moderate
Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics)Very High
Level 7 (Violent)High
Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers)High
Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous)Low

Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test

Welcome Lee, would you like I take a sit for you beside me? This is a test, maybe not a place to be so serious, but if I have a chance to believe in God (I'm not baptized, cause my father wanted that I have the chance to understand and choose my faith), I lost that chance when my father, the most beautiful person in the world, unselfish and free, and always available for others, died before he can see his only dream come true (first clue God doesn't exist) and a very pious person, the same day he died, says to me that my father can't go to Paradise, cause a priest didn't gived him the absolution (second clue).

Yes, that's exactly the sort of thing the nuns and I butted heads over from Day 1! What most by-the-numbers Catholics don't realize is that this sort of dogma isn't something Jesus even said--it's basically politics, created by popes. The idea of the pope's infallibility isn't even that old--less than a century--and there was tremendous opposition to the idea even within the church itself, when it was pushed through. I don't think there is any "one true Faith" - I think everyone's got a piece of the truth. My favorite holy person now living is the Dalai Lama--even though Buddhism doesn't traditionally accept gays, he has recognized the universal nature of affection. And when he describes his path with "my religion is kindness..." it's hard to find anything to object to.
