[SoulCalibur]

which level of hell will you end up in?

http://www.4degreez.com/misc/dante-inferno-test.mv



apparently im gonna end up on level four, damn my money hoarding ways I think it's kinda cool description of hell. Especially, when kids see it. Makes you think, it might be like that. Keeps you in track, of doing good. Self sacrifice, honor, true love and become one of the warriors of the white light. I know I live by it. You gotta add a little humor though, when times are tough.

[Ferret]

haha, im right between 8 and 9.
its funny as hell though

[darkjay]

they made a new level for me...satan is pissed that i slaughtered his army

[Obsolete_hi]

I scored onto level 3:/

[SilVerSurFnStud]

im leval 2

[darkjay]

wow... i took that test now that i got time and scored 8... i told you satan hates me

[ThatDude]

Level 8 for me

[darkjay]

well im not alone lol

[SilVerSurFnStud]

darkjay i know why satan hates u......because he feels he has to compete with u for the worst torture.....while their alive u torture the piss outta him and when they finally die he has to think of something even more sick and twisted to outdue u....(rarely happens) basicly they die go to hell and satan tortures them...they laugh in his face because it is nothing in comparison to what u put them through

[darkjay]

lol... good point

[DarknessAngel]

i got level 6, some1 help me ;_;

[AcidReign]

Do they have a movie on Dante's Inferno? Because that would kick some ass...

I always thought about having two movies made:
Aspects of Heaven
Aspects of Hell

Each movie would show what Heaven and Hell is depicted as from details given in different religions. I think it would be interesting, but it's just an idea, and I'm not sure how well that would fly with the public and religious groups.

[SpAzOr]

im lvl 2....

[Obsolete_hi]

I took it again and actually read the questions good. I scored onto lvl 1.

[Manux]

LOL this shit is so funny, i got to level 6

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.

[Manux]

W00t ive answered shit and i got level 9!!:

Level 9 - 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.

[PhrozenDragon]

Well, hardly surprising, I ended up in level six. I'm a heretic, I know.

[Siaynoq]

The wretched King Minos has decided your fate. His tale wraps around his body 6 times.

The sweet light no longer strikes against your eyes. Your shade has been banished to... the Sixth Level of Hell - The City of Dis!

Dang, level six! Some of those questions were interesting and I honestly couldn't tell how answering them would effect the outcome since they seemed neither good or bad, or both.

"Would you rather go a long time without sex, or a long time without good food?"
Suck it up, either you're going to level 2 or level 3, you pick ;)

[Siaynoq]

See, and I chose that I'd rather go a long time without sex. But that doesn't mean I'm a glutton. It just means I like trying new and exotic foods and I also like to cook. So I didn't know how that question counted against me especially.

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 | Moderate
Level 4 | Moderate
Level 5 | Very High
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | Very High
Level 8- the Malebolge | High
Level 9 - Cocytus | High

thats me.

[Siaynoq]

How come five and six are the worst levels?

[Doppelganger]

For me personally you mean? Or do you mean level 5 and 6 are the worst, cause i thought level 9 was worst?

[Siaynoq]

5,6, and 7 are very high. While 8 and 9 are just high.

[Carloseus]

umm i got level 4 and 6 as very high, 3 and 8 as high. woot, im going to hell!! again.......

[Doppelganger]

because every level has some different aspects (i think level 7 is for when your a plain heretic, and 6 being violent or something)

(problem is i want to visit all layers of hell ;))

[Lord Mantis]

Your fate has been decided....

You are one of the lucky ones! Because of your virtue and beliefs, you have escaped eternal punishment. You are sent to Purgatory!

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.


Yay! Do I win something for this? :D

[Siaynoq]

I don't get it. Why wouldn't Satan reward me in Hell? Why wouldn't he be like, "Well, you followed my path instead of God's. Now go have that 50 women orgy you've always wanted." Cause it seems like to have Hell as a place of suffering, he's just helping God, really, by making you realize you should have worshipped God. But if Satan made people wanna go to Hell, what better way to spite God.

[Zubin]

Oh good point sianoq.

But isn't Satan actually also imprisoned down there? I mean, he's supposed to be stuck in a block of ice, doesn't sound like he decided that on his own.

[Siaynoq]

Ice? I honestly haven't a clue. I thought there was no icy stuff there at all. But it's all getting to sound more silly to me anyway.

[PhrozenDragon]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Divine_Comedy#The_Circles_of_Hell

In Dante's version of Hell, it isn't Satan's own realm, but rather a torture chamber made by God. Of course, this isn't the mainstream belief, so it wouldn't really apply to a debate in today's world.

But i wana go to hell, you know blood, fire, limbs of woman lying around, eternal torture, etc,..
It all just makes me feel like home.

[Siaynoq]

Limbs of women??

lol, i made up my own place i guess :D (weird stuff goin on in my brain)

[Siaynoq]

Ahh, see I was going to the same place and I didn't even read it that carefully. Still though, limbs of women....weird.

[PhrozenDragon]

Obviously it means that the Furies look similar to women.

Anyway, speaking of eternal torment, do you think you'd eventually get used to all the suffering? If Hell was just physical place like Earth, then I think you would. Bathing in molten fire only remains a surprise so many times :D

[Siaynoq]

Like when you get used to a really hot jacuzzi.

[Lord Mantis]

My beliefs on Hell are quite a bit different than what even a lot of mainstream religions teach. I think of the fire and brimstone references as more akin to descriptions on how you'd feel emotionally. I don't take it so literally as many tend to. Hell is more of a state of mind in other words.

[Doppelganger]

and if the state of mind dies? oh right that makes you dead. (so no hell/heaven for the dead people)

[Lord Mantis]

Well, if the state of mind dies it's called a spiritual death. I guess you could liken it to the 9th level of hell, the worst possible outcome. Only the select few people who know for a fact that God exists (ie. they've met and spoken to him ect. like Moses or Cain) and then choose to still deny him and openly rebel (like Lucifer) will experience this spiritual death where one ceases to exist.

That's what I believe, but to believe that one also has to believe that consciousness extends beyend death in the form of one's soul.

[Siaynoq]

Yes, but if the mind dies, you don't feel or think anything. It can defintely be horrifying to imagine not being there in the mind. But sometimes, to me, it doesn't seem bad at all.

[Doppelganger]

Doesnt matter cause you dont know, and to respond to Lord Mantis; if anyone ever could know for a fact that god exists, then the thought of heaven and hell are not necesary anymore because the use of faith or believe would be useless.

[Siaynoq]

and to respond to Lord Mantis; if anyone ever could know for a fact that god exists, then the thought of heaven and hell are not necesary anymore because the use of faith or believe would be useless.
That's a little confusing (I know that wasn't directed to me), but if you believe in something as a fact, and it is based on faith, can it not be both for a person?

[Doppelganger]

no, i explained it wrong, i ment if any of us knew for a fact that god/devil exists it would make the choices that particular person made in his life (while knowing god/devil exists) useless when it comes to where that person would go to after he/she dies, therefor make hell/heaven useless because any choice is irrelevant, therefor make the thought of a god or devil useless because there is no difference in hell/heaven (so no difference in devil/god), therefor make it impossible for anyone to know for a fact that god/devil exists because its an unsolvable dillema. (therefor god/devil, hell/heaven does not exist, imho)

[Lord Mantis]

That logic is flawed. Basically you're saying that if you know for a fact that God or the Devil exists (something only available to someone who has actually seen them in person) that it means they don't exist. Does that mean that if I met Doppel or Siaynoq in person that they'd cease to exist? I say no, and I know I'm right because I have met Siaynoq in person...and he's still around.

As for making choices irrelevant, I think that's backwards too. The reason that the most of humanity never meets God or Satan in person is because the choices you make afterward become even more important. The more you know, the greater your responsibility becomes.

It's like comparing yourself to a child, you obviously know more about the world than a younger person. If you're sitting somewhere with a child that doesn't know a rattlesnake is poisonous and don't warn them not to go pet the "cool" little snake you're likely going to get sued by that kid's parents. The more you know the better off you are in life, but if you still insist on making bad choices even when you know them to be bad, the worse you end up.

[Doppelganger]

Its only filosophical thinking

The more you know, the greater your responsibility becomes.

It isnt about knowing more, it is about knowing something no one ever can know.
(Lets say that i knew for a fact god exists, dont you think that would alter my behavior? Even for someone who deeply beliefs, knowing is something else)

Does that mean that if I met Doppel or Siaynoq in person that they'd cease to exist?

Wich one is the devil? ;)
Anyways, if we supposedly where god/devil, we wouldnt exist in the first place, so you couldnt meet us, even if you had extreem belief in us.
Thats why the logic in my filosofical thinking is flawed, because i use something that cant be true.

As for making choices irrelevant, I think that's backwards too. The reason that the most of humanity never meets God or Satan in person is because the choices you make afterward become even more important.

What you mean "most of humanity", there hasnt been one single person?
What you mean "afterwards"? there isnt an afterwards and if there was an afterwards in the form of a heaven and hell, then there isnt much choice to be made there either.
And how can it become more important, i have never seen one (important) "afterwards" decision. (if you mean after your death ofcourse)

It's like comparing yourself to a child, you obviously know more about the world than a younger person. If you're sitting somewhere with a child that doesn't know a rattlesnake is poisonous and don't warn them not to go pet the "cool" little snake you're likely going to get sued by that kid's parents.

I dont think thats got something to do with anything.
The more you know the better off you are in life,
I wouldnt dare to say that but if you still insist on making bad choices even when you know them to be bad, the worse you end up.
Thats the beauty of religion and freewill, you never know them to be "bad" or not, the only thing you know is thats it religion or not and that there are "rules and moral codes" to that religion or not.
If we would know for a fact god/devil exists and religion is true, then wouldnt that make "faith" in that religion or the "moral" choices we make based on that religion (doesnt matter anymore if you belief or agree, because you know) irrelevant? (they can still be bad/good, but maybe its "bad" to act upon "knowing" god/devil exists?)

[Necromancy]

why do i have to end up on the 7th lvl.......

[StrategyFan]

lever 99 for me :) haha, it was a joke :P

One thing I've never heard an atheist do is prove that God doesn't exist. In my opinion it takes more belief and "faith" to be atheist than it does to actually believe in God.

Funny quip by the way.:D

[Siaynoq]

Well, I've never heard either side prove anything really. But it is strange how obsessed with God atheists can be sometimes.

[Zubin]

I was 8 i think.

[Doppelganger]

Wait people believe in something no one ever proved and its up to the people who dont believe that to prove it doesnt exist?
That doesnt make sense, lets say i believe in a little green man with three eyes putting thoughts into everyones heads and no one can see the creature, now you prove to me that that isnt true, if you cant my believe is true.

[rainier3]

ahh i scored on level 7... i never knew i was so violent..

[PhrozenDragon]

Well, I've never heard either side prove anything really. But it is strange how obsessed with God atheists can be sometimes.
Perhaps they had a bad upbringing :rolleyes:

Well, if you want to disprove that God cannot possible exist, then yes, since religion doesn't need to be proved, because who ever said God obeyed any rules of our Universe? In fact, how do we even know that logic as we know it would apply to such a being?
