The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to the 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.
"Hey, Virg', Ari, Julie and Homer. Pass the absinthe will you! I think Socrates is going into one of his dialectical tirades again!"
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
| Level | Score |
|---|---|
| Purgatory (Repenting Believers) | High |
| Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Very High |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Low |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | Moderate |
| 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) | Low |
| Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) | Low |
| Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) | Low |

Oh, dear...I'm in the seventh circle. No hope for me. lol
Wait a minute, I'm confused. According to catholicism isn't the term "Virtuous Non-believer" an oxymoron.
Cynthia,
Re: Virtue = Belief? - Thought so!
This from "The New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia" http://www.newadvent.org/summa/506905.htm :
Whether limbo is the same as the hell of the damned?
It would seem that the limbo of hell is the same as the hell of the damned. For Christ is said to have "bitten" [Allusion to Osee 13:14 hell, but not to have swallowed it, because He took some from thence but not all. Now He would not be said to have "bitten" hell if those whom He set free were not part of the multitude shut up in hell. Therefore since those whom He set free were shut up in hell, the same were shut up in limbo and in hell. Therefore limbo is either the same as hell, or is a part of hell.
So I guess the point is moot. I've still been consigned to hell. I'm just stuck in the suburbs.
Collin,
Hmmm..."The Seventh Circle". Sounds like a remake of Ingmar Bergman's - "The Seventh Seal".
There's a poem in there somewhere. I need to work on it. :)
