Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

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.


Level Who are sent there? Score
Purgatory Repenting Believers Very High
Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers High
Level 2 Lustful High
Level 3 Gluttonous Low
Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Very Low
Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis Heretics Very Low
Level 7 Violent Moderate
Level 8- the Malebolge Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Very Low

Whew! Thought I would end up on Level 2.

Does anyone believe that something simliar awaits the damned?

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Well at first glance, I thought I was doing pretty well. Then I noticed that I scored very low among the heretics. Now I'm worried....

InPeace,
InLove

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Snoop...good work...I always knew that you had potential. And you must agree that the priority of your state of "being" in the future will be better than my fate of being "done away with" by the Vatican.

I HATE TESTS !

Gosh...it will be as if I never existed.

Hi,

Well priority is certainly one word to describe my fate. If I've been treacherous to my own country does that mean I could be frozen next to Tony Blair?

Sixth level: City of Dis.

Quote:
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.
I guess I'm pretty darn sinful!

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.
Dang! Wil's more sinful than me. Dang! See, all that church didn't help you a bit.

My church life is fairly recent, I dug myself pretty deep the first 40 years!!

Dante doesn't give much credit for salvation...or my pagan tendencies and respect sorta killed any credits I got.

Man, I took it again but the lowest I could get was limbo.

luna, who has always been a very boring goody two-shoes and didn't answer the questions about sex.

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

I answered "em all, including the sex questions...that's why I'm going to limbo, which will cease to exist in the future.

Re: Where Will You Spend Eternity?

Well, luckily I have argued elsewhere for the existence of Purgatory, because that is where I am destined – so I can draw some solace that at least I'm there not with egg on my face!

Oh, this is nonsense! I scored High for Lust (Level 2) and High for (Level 8) the Malebolge, for my fraudulence (it was only a little fib), maliciousness (there's Pisces for you) and pandering ... and I was only trying to be nice!

But Lust? Rubbish! I live a life of the strictest ascesis and rigorous mortification ... at the hands of my b*tches! Whoo-ha-ha-ha-haa-haa!
