I loved the website for Dante's Inferno.
My daughter mentioned it to me, and I thought it would be fun to remember Dante Alighieri's world.
Here is a summary of who goes to hell:
The cowards are assigned to the Gate of Hell.
For non-Christians who have no sins, Circle 1 of Hell does the job.
For those full of lust: Circle 2 is the destination.
The gluttons are sent to Circle 3. Let us hope that there will be an expansion in this circle, as 70% of the U.S. population may end up there sooner or later.
The greedy and wasteful populate Circle 4.
Those fond of wrath and sullenness are assigned to Circle 5.
For heresy, Circle 6 is the proper torture.
Circle 7 is the home of way too many sins: violence, murder, suicide, blasphemy, sodomy, usury.
For all fond of fraud (pimping, seducing), flattery, simony, sorcery, corruption, and/or hypocrisy, Circle 8 will do.
The treacherous are confined to Circle 9.
