Damnation test

[Penumbra]

Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to the First Level of Hell - Limbo!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Very Low
Level 1 - Limbo | Very High
Level 2 | Moderate
Level 3 | Very Low
Level 4 | Very Low
Level 5 | Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very High
Level 7 | High
Level 8- the Malebolge | Moderate
Level 9 - Cocytus | Very Low

What were questions about mental illness doing in there? Why would suicidal thoughts or depression or self-harming affect one's afterlife? My answers to those questions, in the interests of full disclosure, BTW, were 'yes', 'yes' and 'no'.
That relates to level 5, 'Wrathful and Gloomy'. It's been a while since I read the Inferno, but I don't recall depression being a sin.

It's not something the quiz made up, it's a belief that's been around for a while.

Many people believe that those who commit suicide go to hell. Sloth doesn't just mean laziness, it can also include apathy and depression, or failing to find joy in the things god has supposedly provided.

I think it's silly too.

Yeah, I know it's an old belief. "Or that the Everlasting had not fixed his canon 'gainst self-slaughter", etc....
It also sucks, and that it still exists today is depressing in itself.
I think I speak for a lot of other depression sufferers as well when I say that it would be easier to find joy in the things God has provided if he could see his way to providing some more seratonin as well.

PS: Has anyone actually read The Inferno? It's one hell (baddum-chee!) of a trippy, dramatic book.

It put me in the right place though - I'm a complete heretic.

No, you're not. You might possibly be an apostate, but you're not a heretic.


It put me in Purgatory.

 

[PhilosophicalBluster]

Woot, I get to hang with Aristotle. Limbo for the win.

That seemed strange to me too.

The Dante's Inferno Test has sent you to Purgatory!

Here is how you matched up against all the levels:
Level | Score
Purgatory | Extreme (it says extreme in the main display, but only very high on the copy paste part)
Level 1 - Limbo | Very High
Level 2 | Low
Level 3 | Low
Level 4 | Very Low
Level 5 | Low
Level 6 - The City of Dis | Very Low
Level 7 | Low
Level 8- the Malebolge | Low
Level 9 - Cocytus | Low

Kinda surprised me. I would have expected to end up much higher at least in the heretic category. I guess when it test what I actually believe, and not the questions I ask (and avoids topics such as creation/evolution), I am much less of a heretic than others tend to see me as?

Aside from the whole general malaise of sadness, I totally agree. Limbo actually doesn't seem so terrible. I'd get to talk to the philosophers of old and all sorts of cool people in the pre-Christian times.

I got limbo...huh. interesting. At least it could be rather interesting. Some of my heroes are likely to be there.
