The discussion revolves around participants taking the Dante's Inferno Test, which categorizes individuals into various levels of Hell based on their answers. Many users share their results, with some expressing amusement at being assigned to levels like the Sixth Level, known as the City of Dis, which is reserved for heretics. Participants reflect on the test's questions, debating their relevance and the absurdity of being judged based on them. Some express skepticism about the seriousness of the test, viewing it as a fun activity rather than a genuine moral assessment. The conversation also touches on the nature of sin, the concept of cheating in relationships, and the overall lightheartedness of the quiz, despite its dark themes. Users engage in banter about their assigned levels and the company they would keep in Hell, with a playful acknowledgment of their supposed moral failings.

The sad thing is...I actually answered those questions truthfuly. Of course, I'm just starting my life, by the time I get through college I'll be in the 9th level.

I answered truthfully too, but I've lived a bit longer and had more time to be bad. But you won't get all the way to level 9 by the end of college, unless you're working on a Political Science degree. :biggrin: You might be able to join us in level 6 by then though. Keep trying. :devil:

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

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | Moderate
Level 2 | High
Level 3 | High
Level 4 | Low
Level 5 | Moderate
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge | High
Level 9 - Cocytus | Low
Wow, I'm very worried now. i have answered in the test that I'm against wars, against murders and that I have not stolen nothing to my employers and they send me to hell. That's not fair

Two steps ahead of you, there's just the claiming part left.

Fifth level. Amazing. I was certain I'd get the heretic level.

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

Really, this is a very shallow breakdown. If I actually believed in God, I'd let him deal with the baddies. Failing that, I have no choice but to take matters into my own hands, even though violence isn't really my thing. :smile: so I actually belong in the sixth level.

Alright, time to get some sleep...

Once again #2 you have proven your resourcefullness and loyalty. I should reward you, you can have levels 1-4 for your own personal enjoyment.

Edit: Sleep is so overrated.

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.


Sounds a little like Earth actually...

Limbo for me too.
It's not so bad. We can play limbo. I used to be very good in limbo when I was younger and more lenient.

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.
**********************************************

Apparently liars get to go to purgatory, it is something to keep in mind. The quiz has a lot of "general information" questions, and you are given a short time line to complete it, you think you are having some fun, but really you are answering a security questionnaire.

P.S. The use of the spell checker has taught me more about misspelling, than I have learned in years. Some people think it is a lazy man's tool, I think it is a great learning tool. My posts be what they are, but they are spelled correctly.

Now, if they just had a 'comma' checker. :smile:

Sorry, couldn't resist one of those 'famous last words' moments.

now I'll go to hell, for sure

You know, that thought came to mind when I got to the question asking about whether you've considered committing treason, or something like that. I was wondering how long it would be before the Secret Service or FBI showed up at the door if someone answered yes. :rolleyes:

Well, i guess if i answered hoenstly i might got the same result, but with less "score", since in my first try i was just trying to got "perfect" mark as what they expect the "correct" answers.

Well, done, TheBob.

Level 12-The Cave of the Rotten Bastard

"You piece of crap! Satan has created a new level just for you. You will not be tormented by demons simply because you make them sick. Once a week on Hell's version of "Fear Factor" 4 contestants will attempt to talk to you for 3 minutes without vomitting. Satan was heard to reply that had you been alive and him not immortal you would have his job. The levels filled with human excrement drain into your cave, where the waste is cleaned simply in comparison to your true rottenness. Please don't die, you've already ruined Earth no need to bring Hell down as well."


Seems a bit brutal to me.

Purgatory: Low
Level 1: High
Level 2: High
Level 3: Moderate
Level 4: Very Low
Level 5: Low
Level 6: Moderate
Level 7: Low
Level 8: Moderate
Level 9: Low

Assigned to lvl2, but maybe I can talk Saddam into convincing Satan to displace me to lvl1 by telling him I was against the war in Iraq. Homer, Socrates and Aristoteles propose to be better company than Cleopatra (or Helen, whoever that is).
Seeing your violence-lvls I´m quite happy that I´m anonymous here :biggrin:

We are talking about a Biblical Hell here, right?
The answer is no individual deserves to spend an eternity there.

Of course they do. If i choose to do what i ought not do, and consequently harm my own soul, Is it not reasonable to say that my fragmented, destroyed, crumbling soul should forever live in a destructive world for eternity?

It does seem though, that God is demanding.

The thing that sort of pisses me off -- and yes i realize this thread is only a joke -- is that we are attempting to judge ourselves. Judging ourselves on this scale is impossible.

But i guess this is beyond the scope of the General Discussion Forum.

You make it sound as if you have fragmented, destroyed, and crumbled your soul prior to be condemned and sent to Hell. Interesting twist but my answer remains the same.

Little tests like this...

Again, I say, you are taking the test. It asks a bunch of fuzzy, nonesense questions. Do you like cats, or dogs? Are you a people person, or a solitary sort? Have you ever thought about offing a Federal Judge? Where do you buy your ammunition? Have you had a recent identity change?

Yes, I never truthfully take these innocuous online IQ tests, quizzes, or personality typing things. I do read the questions, but the answers I give will always fall into the super virtuous or normal.
 
  • #60
then why take them? You probably cheat at solitaire too. That's a sin isn't it?
