Apprently i have commited a mortal sin aginst G-d

[superhippy7890]

Well im am on the Internet movie database general discussion board and I have shown Bibles passages that seem to hint at important figures being gay. Along comes some yoohoo ( I have had problems with him before). It was the usual "The Bible says being gay is evil" and then when i responded to some one else that I didn't want to be an athiest because i wanted to become a rabbi, the yoohoo screams at me that because I am going to be a religous leader and I'm gay, I will be wiped off the Earth. He goes on to say how evil a sin aganist G-d it is and how I am a false prophet (I never claimed to be a prophet). He pulls out bible passage after bible passage aganist false prohets. I didn't even bother with him. It was kind of funny actually!

But its funny!

Yes, they would be funny if they weren't so successful at taking political power. Adolf Hitler would have been just funny had he not succeded in taking power.

We do need to keep our sense of humor, however.

So he was concerned about the "level" of eternal hell you and your congregation will be going to?

..That is funny.

Looks like I'll have to take the elevator up to the 3rd level to party with you there I'll be banished to the 7th level!

[marutidas]

According to the Dante Inferno test keltic posted I would be in the first layer of Hell(Limbo) or virtuous non-believer.

[keltic63]

I want a recount!

[Daniel]

Jeez....I'm a six'er.

Sixth Level of Hell - 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 Hell.

At least I'm not as bad as Steve! Maybe that's because I'm- according to the test- a heretic, but not 'violent' like Steve.

Steve! I'll say prayers that you can come play on my level....unless of course, you want me to come down to your level.....?

Be nice....

[Daniel]

Steve...I had no idea!

. Blasphemers and sodomites writhe in pain, their tongues more loosed to lamentation, and out of their eyes gushes forth their woe.

What's up with purgatory? No men loving men there?

You have betrayed reason at the behest of your appetite for pleasure, and so here you are doomed to remain.

I think a recount is in order!

someone must have found out about my New Year's Eve activities!

[nmwolfboy]

Second level here!!

i'm kind of disappointed - guess i have an inflated opinion of my wickedness

[Zerbie]

What a morbid test! Ugh!

First level here, wafting around with Socrates. Peaceful but sad, no torment - ya guys want us to try and waft you up??



Geez Daniel & Keltic - what did you guys do to get levels 6 and 7???!

Use your imagination darling.

Actually, in my case, I bet it was because I said that I didn't believe in God.

Heretic! Heretic! Heretic!

Burn him at the stake.

The questions are obviously flawed. I've been an absolute SOB in my past - philanderer, drug addict, greedy economic exploiter, insensitive jackass - and the best I can do is purgatory. This test sucks.

Well, starting tomorrow, we'll see who's going to purgatory. I'm setting my sights on level eight, damnit.

I wanna be "whipped by horned demons" and "ducked in boiling pitch by demons known as the Malebranche." Of course, being "wedged into stone holes" and having my "feet licked by flames" sounds a little kinkier than I'm normally into, but hey you only go to hell once. Of course that "wallowing in human excrement" is a bit over the top. And I don't like serpents and ... Hmmm.

Maybe, I'll check out level seven. I'll be right back.

[andrewlittle]

I took the Seven Deadly Sins test on the same website and I'm vindicated. Get this - I am a moderately gluttonous, moderately lustful (I should be lustful than that), sloth.

Now, wouldn't that make my momma proud?

I should be more lustful, though. Maybe I need something for my libido.

[andrewlittle]

I'll have you know that my inherent privilege comes from not only being heterosexual, but being white, middle class, male, protestant, average height & weight, educated, ...

Sickening, isn't it? Not only do I have inherent power because I look like dominant culture, but that same dominant culture has ordained me to go to purgatory instead of to other, more meaningful and fulfilling, levels of hell with the people I really love and admire.

Damn, I hate myself now. Ooh - will that drop me a peg or two? And, technically, I don't qaulify as a "breeder" anymore, so I just have sex for shits and giggles.

God, now I'm grasping at straws. I'm milk toast and that's all there is to it.

[andrewlittle]

Okay, that was funny.

Thanks for the help and the chuckles.
