    Funny this test should be brought up. I took it several days ago. But I just retook it.
    Got the 7th level both times.
    [spoiler:3nonqgon]Seventh Level of Hell
    Guarded by the Minotaur, who snarls in fury, and encircled within the river Phlegethon, filled with boiling blood, is the Seventh Level of Hell. The violent, the assasins, the tyrants, and the war-mongers lament their pitiless mischiefs in the river, while centaurs armed with bows and arrows shoot those who try to escape their punishment. The stench here is overpowering. This level is also home to the wood of the suicides- stunted and gnarled trees with twisting branches and poisoned fruit. At the time of final judgement, their bodies will hang from their branches. In those branches the Harpies, foul birdlike creatures with human faces, make their nests. Beyond the wood is scorching sand where those who committed violence against God and nature are showered with flakes of fire that rain down against their naked bodies. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe. Usurers, who followed neither nature nor art, also share company in the Seventh Level.[/spoiler:3nonqgon]Level Who are sent there? Score

    the 7th circle so either you commit violence among someone else, will commit suicide, or commit violence against god, or a sodomite.

    I'm glad not Going Green makes you more worthy to burn in Hell for all Eternity. =P
    Btw, taking the test now. I'll edit in my score.

    Edit: It's apparently also a sin to not speak with a Family member after they've done something wrong. Which means it's a sin to say, not want to be apart of the same family as Adolf Hitler.

    It is also a sin to dislike yourself.
    It's a sin to eat at restarants to much.
    It's a sin to shop to much.
    It's a sin to own an SUV.

    Jesus, is it a sin to go to the fucking bathroom?

    Also, 2nd level.
    You have come to a place mute of all light, where the wind bellows as the sea does in a tempest. This is the realm where the lustful spend eternity. Here, sinners are blown around endlessly by the unforgiving winds of unquenchable desire as punishment for their transgressions. The infernal hurricane that never rests hurtles the spirits onward in its rapine, whirling them round, and smiting, it molests them. You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain. Cleopatra and Helen of Troy are two that share in your fate.

    I totally had it coming for not wanting to Go Green. Also, it's a sin to punch someone if they "had it coming", but locking someone in Hell for Enternity because they "had it coming" is 100% justified. And by this damned logic we'd have half the Popes of history in the 9th level of Hell.

    I'm also going to throw in here that comparing Brutus and Cassius to Judas is fucking rediculous. Brutus and Cassius did what they did for good reason. Judas indirectly crusified God. Sending Brutus and Cassius to be chewed by Satan himself for all eternity seems a bit over-dramatic. Certainly Jack the Ripper did a lot less than Cassius. And where is Adolf Hitler in this? So trying to stop a tyrant from taking over a healthy republic deserves perimentant suffering, but killing 8-9 million people is just an every-day thing for the 5th level or something.

    One, you just used Jesus' name in vain and yes it is a sin to go to the bathroom. Everyone knows Catholics believe that feces is concentrated evil and you should be ashamed that you excrete it. xP

    Ya, somehow I don't see my priest saying I will burn in Hell for driving an SUV. Or my Pope for that matter. Or any of the Clergy.

    Pretty bad test.

    I know, not Going Green is a mortal sin. I should be ashamed. Better go burn for eternity.
    I'm reasonably sure no one actually believes this.
