    Hell, if I poped into a thread and immedietly insulted your intellegence, you'd probably point to the first thing you just said as what I was refering too as well, so don't pretend like your the one who's making sense.

    I wonder where Che would be in the nine cycles of Hell? Possibly the 7th or in the last cycle with Satan. Che Flegel was a traitor to this forum and the NKVD. In Che's mind i would be in the same cycle because i'm a traitor to him apparently.

    I got lust, which isn't surprising as I had to answer almost all the sex related ones as yes.

    Just a fun fact, Deuteronomy 22:28-29 NLT

    Christians think that if a woman is raped, she should be forced to marry her rapist.

    No, they don't. Pretty much everything in the Old Testament is anachronistic or outright heretical to Christians. Even the Ten Commandments are secondary to Jesus' commandment, to love your neighbor as you love yourself.

    Fifth Level of Hell
    The river Styx runs through this level of Hell, and in it are punished the wrathful and the gloomy. The former are forever lashing out at each other in anger, furious and naked, tearing each other piecemeal with their teeth. The latter are gurgling in the black mud, slothful and sullen, withdrawn from the world. Their lamentations bubble to the surface as they try to repeat a doleful hymn, though with unbroken words they cannot say it. Because you lived a cruel, vindictive and hateful life, you meet your fate in the Styx.

    Here is how you matched up against all the levels:

    (Click on a level for more info)
    Level Who are sent there? Score
    Purgatory Repenting Believers Very Low
    Level 1 - Limbo Virtuous Non-Believers Very Low
    Level 2 Lustful Moderate
    Level 3 Gluttonous Moderate
    Level 4 Prodigal and Avaricious Very High
    Level 5 Wrathful and Gloomy Extreme
    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 High

    Does the bible actually mention all those levels of hell? Or are they just made up by the catholic church?

    the bible discrbtion of hell is very limited, really this isn't even made up by the church but by a guy named Dante Alighieri who was in Florence during the time of the political war between the whites and the blacks, and which he was kicked out and in exile he wrote this as a big old fuck you. orrignaly the catholic church rather disliked the poem but now there like well yeah its o.k (also it was the 1300s so they took there religion in there politics very sirously)

    Made up by Dante Alighieri, a citizen of Florence during an era of massive turmoil in almost every city in Italy. It was wildly popular (why he wasn't burned to death by putting 3 Popes in Hell). Its wild popularity seeped into Church doctrine.

    That is such a bad translation, but I'm assuming it got at,

    "If a man has pre-marital sex with a young woman who is a virgin but is not engaged to be married then that man must marry the woman."
    That's no so bad.

    Also, what Kal said.

    I'm sorry if Jesus Christ isn't the most trustworthy (Earthly) source for you.

    No it didn't. Last I checked the Pope hasn't been preaching against fat people.

    The Book is practically heretical, and is ment only as a good read, which it is. It's not preached in Mass.
