The Inferno

I recently started playing Dante's Inferno (again) and it made me think about the actual book it's based off of: the Divine Comedy.


I was curious as to people's thoughts on how Dante ranked sin and just his idea of hell in general.

  1. I agree. I think that some of the ordering of the sin should be a bit different, like the weights should be exchanged, but for the most part my views align with his pretty nicely.

  2. I don't like the idea of hell at all. There are so many very intricate and complex reasons that people "sin" I feel that it is very uncommon that people do bad things to be purely evil which is the reason you should maybe go to hell. I think that the idea of hell is mainly to control people.
