The Dante's Inferno Test has banished you to the Second Level of Hell!
Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
| Level | Score |
|---|---|
| Purgatory (Repenting Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Moderate |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Very High |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | Moderate |
| Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) | Low |
| Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) | Moderate |
| 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) | Low |

Hey! I went to Purgatory!
Big deal. I'm a public school teacher, so I'm already there.

Meh, amateur. I was level 6 if I recall correctly.

Now I know - I'm a 2nd level lustful heretic!

I find myself wallowing in the Sixth Level. Probably not violent enough for the lower levels. And I thought I was a Virtuous Non-Believer (okay, maybe not).

So I will finally get to meet you Susan, as I too have been condemned to the Sixth Level. I not sure whether it's my masturbatory behaviour or my suicidal tendencies that brought me so low but at least I now have proof positive that I am more evil than Mr Wilkins.

Virtuous non-believer headed for Limbo. Damn!

Condemned to the City of Dis with the other heretics.
But we'll always have Science....

Read 'em and weep: Level 7
And to think that being a mother, a hairdresser, and an all around good person (who just happens to be an atheist and has dabbled in same-sex excursions) is going to have fire rain down on my body while the woe gushes forth from my eyes, all while hanging from a tree with poison fruit.
And they say religion isn't fiction.

I'm in Dis as well. Norfolk'n'good.

I side with the many Eastern Fathers. All hell is purgatorial.

What I don't get is: how come Wilkins, Haubrich and I all have secondary peaks in Fraudulence, Violence and Wrath & Gloom? OK, that last probably reflects a diagnosed mood disorder (for John & me, don't know about Mike), but I think I'm reasonably honest and peaceful.

The test is incorrect. As an atheist who has heard the Good News, I should be in one of the lower levels---Dis, I think---where I get to sleep in a burial urn when I am not being harangued. Instead, I was placed in limbo with the ancient virtuous pagans, who lived before Christ.
Note that the concept of "Limbo" was devised as a place to put people---like unbaptised infants---who defied any logical means of categorizing sinners. Current catholic teaching holds that Limbo does not exist as a place, but the concept still does, and still shows the absurdity of the Xtian afterlife.

Male, level 7, seeks companionable female for romantic excursions on the scenic River of Boiling Blood and Harpy-watching in Suicide Forest. Blasphemers and Sodomites welcome; naked bodies,woe-gushing optional.

Interesting test. I was classified as a non-believer and heretic. Does it say anywhere on the site exactly how the scores are calculated? (I do realize most of the questions line up with a specific level, just wondering about how each answer is weighed.)

I'm surprised John isn't with the rest of us on level 6. Are you too lustful?

I'd rather not say... that's between me and my Inquisitor.

I finally found I place where I could take the test, and I made it to purgatory. And as I said earlier, hell is purgatorial anyway.
