1st Circle: The unbaptized, pagans and those who lived before Christ.

2nd Circle: Those overcome by lust.

3rd Circle: Gluttons.

4th Circle: Spendthrifts.

5th Circle: Those consumed with rage fight on the surface of the River Styx, the lazy/slothful ones lie beneath the water.

6th Circle: Heretics.

7th Circle: The violent, has 3 inner circles.

Outermost: Those violent against property and inanimate objects.

Middle: The suicidal.

Innermost: Those violent against God, nature and/or the arts.

8th Circle: Frauds of any kind.

9th Circle: Traitors against those close to them.

 

Yep, the 9 circles. Satan lies frozen the 9th, with 3 heads, each one chewing a different corpse for all eternity. The 3 corpses are those of whom were the greatest traitors of all time. The middle head chews Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Christ. The heads on either end chew on Brutus and Cassius, the men who betrayed Julius Caesar.

 

The 1st circle is a place of no pain nor hope. So pagans, the unbaptized, and those who lived before Christ do not suffer, and they do not go to Purgatory or Heaven.

 

So discuss Hell. :D

 

(All of this is based on the story of Dante.)

Sounds like a nice place, sir =D

 

EDIT: In truth, I beleive in heaven and hell because they balance each other and I'd prefur to beleive in it then nothingness, but hell doesn't look to bad to me.

 

I feel like whoever ends up there won't have any feeling of pain or suffering, since they're already dead and they're body should resort to "nothingness" rather than their mind.

 

lolbelief.

1st Circle: The unbaptized' date=' pagans and those who lived before Christ.

Hideous crimes like these obviously merit a perfectly just punishment of an eternity of hopelessness. Obviously.

 

2nd Circle: Those overcome by lust.

3rd Circle: Gluttons.

4th Circle: Spendthrifts.

 

I love the order in which these appear. Being an awful pervert isn't nearly as bad as eating too much' date=' which in turn isn't nearly as bad as spending money that you have instead of locking it in a box and leaving it there.

 

5th Circle: Those consumed with rage fight on the surface of the River Styx, the lazy/slothful ones lie beneath the water.

 

This sounds suspiciously like Valhalla. Except that was considered a reward for the greatest heroes, not a punishment.

 

6th Circle: Heretics.

 

Considering how fragmented Christianity is' date=' which each denomination being orthodox to itself and heretical to all others, it seems that virtually all Christians would fall squarely into this circle (bar the few who correctly guess that the one true church is the Southern Post-Methodist Wesleyan Reformed Anabaptist Holy Church of Jesus Christ).

 

7th Circle: The violent, has 3 inner circles.

Outermost: Those violent against property and inanimate objects.

Middle: The suicidal.

Innermost: Those violent against God, nature and/or the arts.

 

Why isn't violence against other people listed anywhere here? Is that considered permissible now?

 

8th Circle: Frauds of any kind.

 

I love how this is considered worse than everything else on the list. Forget about the violent maniacs who go around blowing stuff up; we need to deal with the far more serious crime of lying!

 

9th Circle: Traitors against those close to them.

 

Bad news for anyone who has ever played Mafia: you're doomed.

 

Yep' date=' the 9 circles. Satan lies frozen the 9th, with 3 heads, each one chewing a different corpse for all eternity. The 3 corpses are those of whom were the greatest traitors of all time. The middle head chews Judas Iscariot, the man who betrayed Christ. The heads on either end chew on Brutus and Cassius, the men who betrayed Julius Caesar.

How exactly was Jesus supposed to go through with his cunning plan of being killed without being betrayed? It seems like Judas was an integral part of Jesus's plan that was absolutely necessary for everything to fall into place, not a traitor who almost ruined everything. And why Brutus and Cassius but not Cinna and all the other conspirators? Why not Mark Antony, who proceeded to backstab the conspirators immediately afterward?

You simply have to believe in God and you won't go there...

Somewhere an Aethiest is laughing

 

If you turn it around, you must believe in God to go to heaven.

 

Which automatically makes "God" a selfish man who only gives goodies to those who praise him.

 

But like always, the brainy Crab Helmet has said all.

3rd, 4th, 8th, and 9th are totally bull. Its basic acts of human nature at one point or another. There's even a theory about each of us being born twins, but a serious majority of the time we kill the other twin. If that theory proves right, the 9th Circle is complete garbage.

 

EDIT: I roflmao'd @ Crabs post.

I once read about this and I loved reading about it, just 2 pages in my Swedish book about Greek authors and you get the point, but still. Really cool story.

I "love" how traitors are the worst kind of people. It is pretty logic though.

Guys this topic is about some fictional hell made up in Dante's fictional book.-.-

 

1st Circle: The unbaptized' date=' pagans and those who lived before Christ.

 

The 1st circle is a place of no pain nor hope. So pagans, the unbaptized, and those who lived before Christ do not suffer, and they do not go to Purgatory or Heaven.

Meads of Asphodel?

 

How exactly was Jesus supposed to go through with his cunning plan of being killed without being betrayed? It seems like Judas was an integral part of Jesus's plan that was absolutely necessary for everything to fall into place' date=' not a traitor who almost ruined everything.

[/quote']

 

The Gospel of Judas anyone?

 

...Whatever, Dante is still awesome even though it's all a story.

Don't like the first ring because there are those born into pagan religions and raised not knowing Jesus. Its k inda sad that this may be the case' date=' but its real. Is it their fault they don't know Jesus?

[/quote']

 

You call out being born into another religion as unfair and ignore the part where people born before Christ get sent to the first circle of Hell? lollogic.

 

Anyone born into pagan beliefs, or any religion (or lack thereof) can choose to search out Christianity. That's not to say they will. One's religion is completely up to them. You can choose to seek exposure to anything if it interests you. What you can't do is choose what time period you're born into.

I'm laughing doubly. Once for your comment' date=' and again for your spelling of [b']atheist[/b].

 

And which God do you propose I believe in? The "Christian God"? If you believe in him/her/it, have fun going to hell in Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and all the other religions of the world that don't believe in the "Christian God".

 

The only bad part about an atheist is that we go to hell one more time than everyone else. So assuming 30 religions, a Christian would go to hell 29 times. I'd go to hell 30 times. D:

 

I'd be 7th Circle - Innermost, but even barely that. None of those circles really encompass what "sins" I do. <_<

Dark, the Islam and Christian Gods are the same being. Allah is God in Arabic.

 

Really the only difference between the 2 religions is the prophets and how they worship.

 

Otherwise they're identical really.

One less time for me to go to hell, then.

 

And there are constant fights between Islam and Christianity because they are so alike, right? <_<

As well as Judaism. All of the enteties that Christianity, Judaism, and Islam all pretty much believe in the same God. They all began with the same person, Abraham. Abraham was an ancestor of Jesus, Abraham started Judaism directly, if I'm correct, and Abraham's concubine's son started Islam.

 

They all really believe in the same God, except they have different ways of doing it. They were all based off of the beliefs of one man, which was Abraham. So yeah, if you're Jewish, Christian, and Islamic, I believe you're alright.

 

Provided hell actually is just like the hell in Dante's Inferno, and that there aren't several exceptions to certain people's cases because God is nice, then yeah, you're good to go.
