Limbo.

7. Very High Violence, Lust and Virtue... Very Low repentance and gluttony. It sounds about right.

I made it to Purgatory!

Purgatory + Hell = Roman Catholicism.
Protestants don't believe in purgatory, and as a rule of thumb Lutherans don't even believe in Hell (only oblivion - which is pretty close, if you ask me).



Secondly... have you not read Dante's Inferno? Or watched Se7en at least? I suggest you do.

um, yeah we do.

Also, he's not completely wrong...many of the verses that the Catholic church cites as proof for purgatory come from the apocryphal books of the Old Testament, which would be Jewish in origin. However, the doctrine of purgatory is more or less unique to the Catholic denomination.

Limbo. Limbo sounds pretty cool, actually. Lots of neat people here.

Purgatory isn't really part to the Catholic belief system anymore, as I remember it it. It was developed sometime in the middle ages when the Catholic Church was at the height of it's power. Purgatory was used in conjunction with indugences. The Catholic clergy told people they were going to purgatory, then said it was possible to buy one's way out of purgatory. This lead to the belief that the welathy didn't have to be good because they could just wipe away their sins with money.

No, Purgatory is still around. Indulgences aren't. Prayer is the method of extracting people from purgatory now, it seems (my fiancee is Catholic and there's always a "Pray for the souls in Purgatory" reminder in her church's weekly newsletter).

I got purgatory, hmm. The only circle, oddly enough, I got "low" on lustful and fraudulent as oppose to very low. But I didn't get this one:

Meh. I'm kinda disappointed I didn't get put in Limbo. It sounded so good. From the description, it made Hell seem pretty rewarding. But the 6th is good.

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."
-Robert Jastrow

Wow, you guys have GOT to be kidding yourselves. I thought I was going to Purgatory based on my answers, but I ended up in the 4th level of hell! Jeez, so I think the rich deserve the money they earn.. I'm going to hell for it? **** this.

Also, there was a VERY disturbing question on this test: "Some people, such as Nostradamus, are able to predict future events. " I'm getting the feeling, from the way the question was worded, that if you answer "true", you get a few points added on to your hell-meter. Uh, last time I checked, the Bible is FULL of people prophesying the future, from Isaiah all the way to John.

Oh well, at least it seems pretty pleasant, for hell and all: "Just before the river Styx is the Fourth Level of Hell. Here, the prodigal and the avaricious suffer their punishment, as they roll weights back and forth against one another. You will share eternal damnation with others who either wasted and lived greedily and insatiably, or who stockpiled their fortunes, hoarding everything and sharing nothing. Plutus, the wolf-like demon of wealth, dwells here."

Lovely. Once again, I'm telling you, the way this test judges, everyone in America should go here because they're capitalists. Any of you who said you're going to Purgatory, you're hypocrites.

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.

Jews believe all sorts of things, it's up to the Jew in question. Most, however, do not believe in a permanent hell, except the Lubbavitchers, who claim all non-Hasids will burn. This only refers to Jews, though. They really couldn't care less about the those of the goyische persuasion.

Also, that test has it wrong. The most inner circle of Hell(9th level) is reserved for traitors and mutineers.

[edit: wait, they did get it right]

Checksum: I thought about it, I guess I'm striving for my own personal ideals. I'll just project those ideals onto Jesus and say "I'm trying to be like Jesus" so that I won't have to listen to you banter endlessly about me worshipping a false god or some such.

Level 9 - Cocytus Treacherous Low

...As I understand, the reason Purgatory is the best possible result is that one must recieve yet another judgement in purgatory in order to proceede to Heaven.

Ah, but the question is, did they predict the future, or did they cause the future to happen a certain way?
Because often in scripture it is worded such as, "so and so happened so that the prophecies could be fulfilled"
