People here seem to think the idea of levels in Hell is so novel. Would you be surprised to learn that people were discussing the same idea 700 years ago?

Calm down, Nikki. All I did was ask a question. Calm down.

I have read it. It was part of my studies at the university. It's an ingenious set up for hell.

Yes I read Dante's Inferno in college as part of the course work for my Humanities I class.

I have many copies of this book (15) My favorite from the 1920's with all the G. Dore plates.
So I am not surprised....
I know which level I am headed for and need no outside confirmations!

No but I feel like I'm in the 7th level of hell right now. Can I crawl out?

I liked Larry Niven's and Jerry Pournelle's "Inferno" better.

I don't think it was a novel idea. But it was certainly a very biased, politically motivated, and silly book.

Actually, Muslims dogmatically believe that there are seven layers of hell and sever layers of heaven.

I will be in the 8th circle. 8.4 actually. Republicans will be in the 9th circle.
