Man, so did I. I'm guessing you're a heretic as well.

And I thought I was an ok guy...

Third Level of Hell

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.


Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

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


Not that bad :D
 
It said "Limbo" when I tried it. I was honest, too. Low for everything else except level 7 (violent) where it said "moderate."
 
ahh yeah that thing is a load of crap...God would absolute love me ;)
I'm vengeful and why shouldn't I be.
Level 5 for me :)
Well that's what I got when I did it a while ago. i think after I changed these ones: 1."do you hate a lot of people"
2."Have you wished bad things upon your fellow countrymen"
3."do you hate yourself"

These are kind of grey areas to me really.
1. Of course I hate a lot of people, but that's because a lot of the people I know are really screwed up. That is, they would stab friends in the back and they would take advantage of drunk women and, cheat and lie.

2. Damn straight I do. Just so happens that criminals and that are fellow countrymen so hell yeah I wish bad things upon them. Like I said God would love me ;)

3. Sometimes I'd have to say I do, because I have done some things that really piss me off. Things I shouldn't have...things that are just mean.

But anyway I get to level 1 if I fix those ones.
But seriously I'd have to say that I'm level 5.
The scary thing is my friends were the ones that gave me that test and they all got level 9...I wonder what they answered to get that :)?
 
Oh my!
I got purgatory level...
Something is wrong... with me
 
Level 2 Lustful Low ..at least I can die with a smile on my face!
 
We've done this test before. I think I'm still in good company. :biggrin:

Level One

I got a Level One-Limbo, and I think it fits with my ideals quite properly. I was indeed honest about most things.
I answered the question about whether I hated my countrymen wrong.
I do indeed hate quite a lot of my countrymen, but I answered in accordance with the spirit of the test.

Most people just live their lives in pursuit of happiness. I quite disagree and think it is wrong(even childish). This goes against my ideals as I wish to live a life which is "useful". Others should prosper from my work. My motivation is to simply make (say) my grandchildren and great-grandchildren(who will know me only by name) proud of me and what I did or tried to do.

That is no fair, you have to be, "totally", honest, if not you must join the

Here's what i got.And i was very honest with myself

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 9 times.
The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus!
Ninth Level of Hell - Cocytus

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is the deepest level of hell, where the fallen angel Satan himself resides. His wings flap eternally, producing chilling cold winds that freeze the thick ice found in Cocytus. The three faces of Satan, black, red, and yellow, can be seen with mouths gushing bloody foam and eyes forever weeping, as they chew on the three traitors, Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. This place is furthest removed from the source of all light and warmth. Sinners here are frozen deep in the ice, faces out, eyes and mouths frozen shut. Traitors against God, country, family, and benefactors lament their sins in this frigid pit of despair.

Wow. You are the worst by far. I'll work up to the ninth level some day. I just need to stop going to anger management, my violence was way too low. Hmm.. so much work to do.
