The city of Dis.
I'm not a religious person. I never have been and I never will be. When I die, there will not even be blackness for me. One innings, one out, game over. Of course, I can't prove that, any more than it can be proved I shall be cast into an eternal pit of flame, ascend to heaven or be reincarnated as a dung beetle. It just makes more sense to me, and I'm happy enough with that.
I honestly thought the website was a sick joke when the Webkittyn pointed me to it, specifically to the page about Katarina being the act of a vengeful god on the unrighteous denizens of a city of sin. Unfortunately, it's not. They're actually serious.
"Although the loss of lives is deeply saddening, this act of God destroyed a wicked city,"
The words of the insufferably holier than thou.
There are a lot of good religious people out there of all denominations. And there are a lot of whack jobs that make me very, very glad I do not believe in the things that they do.
Their site, did, however, make me want to click on their quiz button (reproduced here at right), to see what level of damnation I was heading for.
And it simply took me to a page containing the ten commandments (I'm batting 2/10), which was quite dissapointing. So here, I linked it to a far better quiz, the Dante's Divine Comedy Purgatory Challenge. How damned are you?
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 (Repenting Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 1 - Limbo (Virtuous Non-Believers) | Very Low |
| Level 2 (Lustful) | Very High |
| Level 3 (Gluttonous) | Moderate |
| Level 4 (Prodigal and Avaricious) | Moderate |
| Level 5 (Wrathful and Gloomy) | Low |
| Level 6 - The City of Dis (Heretics) | Very High |
| Level 7 (Violent) | High |
| Level 8- the Malebolge (Fraudulent, Malicious, Panderers) | Low |
| Level 9 - Cocytus (Treacherous) | Low |
Take the Dante's Divine Comedy Inferno Test
I hope this means I get to spend the weekends in Level 2 with Cleopatra and Helen of Troy...
