I have to ask for those who read the divine comedy: Did anyone else get through the Inferno, start reading Purgatory and quit reading? The Inferno was awesome, then it felt like Dante quit trying. I even skipped forward to Paradiso thinking Dante saved the best for heaven. Nope. Boring.

Fa fa fa fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifLevel 5, Wrathful and Gloomy
This version may be relevant to the modern reader, especially if you like SF. It's inspired by Dante's version and shares the topology, much of the background, but is a lot lighter overall (not to mention shorter) than the real thing.
"Inferno is quite literally a cake walk through , with a science fiction writer as Dante and Benito Mussolini as Virgil. I kid you not, Pournelle and Niven have had the chutzpah to re-write Dante's Inferno as if they were some unholy hybrid of Roger Zelazny, Robert Heinlein, and Phil Jose Farmer. You are right there in the nether-reaches of the ultimate Sam Peckinpah movie with all the matter-of-fact solidity of a Hal Clement novel. It gets to you, it really does. This being lunacy of a transcendent order."--Norman Spinrad
Interestingly Niven and Pournelle released a sequel in 2009 - odd as their "Inferno" has been out for 20+ years.
Your fate has been decided....
You are one of the lucky ones! Because of your virtue and beliefs, you have escaped eternal punishment. You are sent to Purgatory!
Purgatory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You have escaped damnation and made it to Purgatory, a place where the dew of repentance washes off the stain of sin and girds the spirit with humility. Through contrition, confession, and satisfaction by works of righteousness, you must make your way up the mountain. As the sins are cleansed from your soul, you will be illuminated by the Sun of Divine Grace, and you will join other souls, smiling and happy, upon the summit of this mountain. Before long you will know the joys of Paradise as you ascend to the ethereal realm of Heaven.

Does anyone find it interesting that, outside of level 1 and level 3, all of the other ones are "very low" until she moves up a little to low at 8 and 9. LOL.
Angel, quit being so fraudulent you treacherous panderer!j/k

I think to get into the Seventh Level, you gots to be teh gay.
Cuban, It isn't that they are too long, or worded strangely, it is just that after reading Inferno, the other two fall short. Also, as far as your suggestions, it looks like they are to "replace" Inferno, which I would not want to do. Inferno is awesome, the detail and innovative creativity that went into its conception are quite astounding. It seems that he "ran out" of creativity when building purgatory and paradiso.
This could be further proof of my theory that art born out of hatred/bad feelings is far more powerful and enrapturing than art born of love/good feelings. You just seem to "feel" it more, whether it be through music, writing, visual art, etc.
I thought this was a thread for th game...
I'm kind of disappointed to be heading to only the 2nd level of ...maybe its because I don't believe in religion or anything like that...
Lets get Pee Wee or Mr. Sinister (sagia) to take this test. We all know he causes physical harm to himself and is the gay.
Im in Level 2 with most of you sinners!!!
You be 1/2 right!!!
why only half?You be 1/2 right!!!
Shag is only 1/2 gay, he said so him self.
Yeah I knew he was gay but I dont know about half gay. The moment any guy blows another guy or takes it up the ass he is FULL BLOWN GAY!! I would think 1/2 gay would be like what I. Hustle and Steven do and that is masturbate to other guys.Shag is only 1/2 gay, he said so him self.
I assume the questions about food impacted the results for this level.
if you don't believe in religion, you shouldn't believe in .
I think this is fake
For those unfamiliar with Dante's Inferno, here's a pretty cool flash site that will give you the gist of it in 10-20 minutes:

Level 2. I lust.
What was up with that one trick question... something about rather fornicating or eating good tasting food or something like that? Either way you answer it, it's bad for one of the levels.
Sixth Level of - The City of Dis
You approach Satan's wretched city where you behold a wide plain surrounded by iron walls. Before you are fields full of distress and torment terrible. Burning tombs are littered about the landscape. Inside these flaming sepulchers suffer the heretics, failing to believe in God and the afterlife, who make themselves audible by doleful sighs. You will join the wicked that lie here, and will be offered no respite. The three infernal Furies stained with blood, with limbs of women and hair of serpents, dwell in this circle of .
