OK, so here are your circles of hell. I will be changing my form from SNAKE INTO MAN as a thief of a packet of PK chewing gum at the age of nine.

I am kind of disappointed that thievery is lower down than hypocrisy, because I like the idea of the gold cloak.

― Madchen, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I will be walking forever on those hot sands.

― RickyT, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

God medieval people were stupid.

― Nick, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Impressive that treachery is so high up, I'm chilly.

― chris, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i'd like to think circle one, but more than likely roasting amidst the adulterers and single mothers.

― jess, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Treachery high up? You're right down the bottom, you scumbag. Check out the map.

― Madchen, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i like the way it incorporates all the Underworld components from Greek/Roman mythology too.

surely if one repents then there is no need to be going down...?

― m jemmeson, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wow, excellent.

― chris, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Madchen, have you been away?

― chris, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I think I fit in all the circles one way or another. I'll just rent out every few months.

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I defy the existence of circles!

― james, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I've was stricken with a bastard kidney infection for a week and have ***actually been working quite a lot*** since my return to the office.

― Madchen, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

[cue tepid rehash of Woody Allen joke]

― Sterling Clover, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

That eighth circle sounds like a bona fide PAR-TAY!

Thank God I'm not Brutus, Judas or Cassius; bewing chewed by Lucifer for all eternity is not my idea of a swinging good time.

― Dan Perry, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I like the idea of being a neutral.

― james, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

why is judas in hell?

― ethan, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Lunchtime's over, I guess it's back on my head...

― dave q, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When I was young and worried about eternal damnation, my mum told me probably only Judas went to hell.

― Nick, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

When tickets go on sale for Circles II and III, let me know. I'll be in line.

― Brian MacDonald, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Is the rule that you get the lower sin/worse punishment, in case of two sins? Taking sides: simony vs sodomy.

Snake into man sounds sort of sexxxy. And if you are kinky into excrement, could you fool Lucifer by spending all your time flattering everyone?

You brought this up, Lucy, you have to sort it out.

― Benjamin, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Panderers and seducers just have to wander naked forever. But that's probably what they wanted to do!

― maryann, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Circle X, Ring 1: Users of emoticons. Doomed to forever draw smily faces into burning sands.

― maryann, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

:…(

― mark s, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

I cant decide whether number five, wrath and sullenness, or circle 8, region? for the sowers of discord and schism. I don't know which is worse... oh to be a panderer.

― Menelaus Darcy, Thursday, 8 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sodomising God is less bad than gossip? This hell stuff is crazy!

― Mark C, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Wandering around naked does sound preferable, as it seems to be a fairly warm place (9th circle accepted - "ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the perpetual agony of eternal damnation - on ice!"). I'd better get seducing and pandering!

What did Cassius do, anyway?

― Mark C, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

In Circle II, with Paolo and Francesca, for loving not wisely but too well.

― Will, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Cassius goaded Brutus to assassinate Julius Caesar btw. I think that may have something to do with it.

― Will, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Benjamin, I assume that you go to the place of your worst sin, and the worse your sin, the lower you are in hell (and the higher the number of your circle). This is why that big, bad, bastardy Judas is right at the bottom in Satan's own gob. If you con Lucifer into dropping you in the shit, you are in fact a deceiver, lower down Circle VIII and your soul will be encased by flame, so ha ha on you.

I quite like the idea of lying on hot sands - sounds a bit tropical beach, no?

― Madchen, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

But why aren't the sins cumulative? A smart bunny could reason "Well, I've flattered and seduced, so I may as well do a bit of barrating while I have the chance - it's not going to make things any worse for me"

― Nick, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

i am a sodomite so level 7:ii for me

― anthony, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It called trading up, Nick, and it's what's made society cause so much misgiving. Why not do some betrayal, if it's just ice, sure beats eternal thirst, cracked tongue, and bloated belly.

Maybe it's time for a hades reform movement.

"It's ice innit? In hell? What were they THINKING?"

― Benjamin, Friday, 9 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It seems way too difficult to figure out. Aren't MOST people guilty of several of those things? Do you just count up until you've reached the sin that's *highest* on the list and stop there? Like, if you're lustful, but also a blasphemer, blasphemery is a higher level of circular hell and sounds more painful. So, would you lay on burning sand (blaspheme) as opposed to blowing around in wind for eternity (lust).??

That is just so believable. It must surely be the word of god. I can see why people are catholic, too, even.
