I'm in Limbo!
Then let us Limbo together, m'dear. :wink: (Though it is nice to be called "virtuous"...)

Charon ushers you across the river Acheron, and you find yourself upon the brink of grief's abysmal valley. You are in Limbo, a place of sorrow without torment. You encounter a seven-walled castle, and within those walls you find rolling fresh meadows illuminated by the light of reason, whereabout many shades dwell. These are the virtuous pagans, the great philosophers and authors, unbaptised children, and others unfit to enter the kingdom of heaven. You share company with Caesar, Homer, Virgil, Socrates, and Aristotle. There is no punishment here, and the atmosphere is peaceful, yet sad.

Good company, nice digs, pleasant atmosphere. Ex-cellent.

See you in Purgatory.

Hello, Ms. Brombacher I'll be seeing you in 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.

Somehow I ended up in the Second Level of Hell.

E Gads.
Americans have had enough of glitz and roar . . Foreboding has deepened, and spiritual currents have darkened . . .

Well, I'm with Sean in the second level of Hell. Probably because of my Pagan religious beliefs.

That's okay. So did my best friend. At least you guys get to hang out with Helen of Troy and Cleopatra, who were supposedly very hot!
Not that you'd have time to do anything with them, what with being continually tossed around by that subterranean tornado.
Frankly I am very surprised I didn't wind up here too. I'm *extremely* lustful.
I guess a belief in the Trinity helps. Also I've been going back to mass lately.
It's like a bug high on the wall. You wait for it to come to you. When it gets close enough you reach out, slap out and kill it. Or if you like its looks, you make a pet out of it.
