Welcome to Gaia! ::

This is a quiz just for fun. it pits your perceptions of life against those of Dante Alighieri; the result is that Dante assigns you to one of the levels of hell in his "Inferno".

this most recent time when i took the test, i was in Purgatory, which is pretty good:

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.


in a way i cheated, tho', because i had taken the quiz before and so i changed my answers on some key questions. not dishonestly, i just thought the questions weren't worded fairly so i gave myself the benefit of a doubt. hey, it's just a game!

the time before this, i got level 2. you can figure out what that means.

here's the link:

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.



Yayness for heretics!!!

surprised

i'm rather fond of heretics myself.

some in my sect hold that we are survivors of the ancient Donatist heresy, which said that religious leaders should be judged by their moral actions and not by the power of their office or the pronouncements of the hierarchy.

that still sounds reasonable to me! so i'm still a heretic.

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.


Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

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


In Catholocism, I believe, everyone who is truly virtuous goes to purgatory unless they're a saint. They stay there until Judgement Day.

I think. Lord knows I'm no expert.

Either that or suicidal like me. Either way, welcome to level seven! I'll be glad to have your company for eternal torment, intelligent discussion should help ease the burden.

5th level, and it was just mostly for things I've done in the past when I was stupid!...stupid-er. They called me violent and treacherous crying I wouldn't hurt someone...I guess I have a few things to work on eh? Hmm...

AAAAAAH! it's the secret TENTH level!
