Purgatory-phew

Oh, it's my thread! I just happened to re-read Inferno a few weeks ago, and I'm working on Purgatorio now. The imagery is so interesting. I wish I could read Italian.

I'm thinking more and more that living in a way that's likely to get you unto Dante's Heaven might be a nice thing to do for yourself. There are some exceptions though, but living moderately and avoiding excess and violence seems like a good idea. In other words, no, I don't think eating lots of nice foods and sleeping with anyone you want and giving into your anger and envy and malice is going to make you happy.

I just took the test again and I got level 8 again. I mostly get sent to hell for improper religious beliefs and sex. Those are my exceptions mentioned about. I don't think "misuse" of sex is a good thing, but I don't think sex is sinful, even before marriage.

Sixth level. Sounds good. The Furys better beware, I'm not gonna go down easily...

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.

City of Dis!! (Hi Acalewia!! Good to see you here..)

Cool quiz..

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.
