Yep, but only the third of it about the levels of Hell are good, and you HAVE to read it alongside an explanation guide, unless you are au fait with some of the leading figures (celebs?) of 13th century Florence, otherwise you won't have a fucking clue what's going on. Even then, flipping between the original text, and the explanation book, it's hard work. Not the kind of book you can rattle through a few chapters when you are on the shitter. It means sitting at a table, and concentrating! I even made notes!!!
FWIW, I read the lot, because I'm like that, and yes, it did make me cry.
Fear not though, I still read Viz, and the Sunday Sport.So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!
I nearly broke her back

Well, the Catholic hell has seven layers, the Baptist's my be organized differently (e.g., catholic dog kickers go to purgatory (Baptists might consider a switch if that is their indulgence)). For all known versions of Christian hells, Mark Twain's insight holds:

No much of a choice, if you are a social person, isn't it?

I find Purgatory to be a very sensible arrangement for a just but merciful God to create. Can't just let you get away with the small stuff, but eternal damnation for it? Work off the misdemeanors, if you're a murderer you're in big trouble. Still, repent and you can be forgiven - but there will still be consequences. Like Purgatory...Ron is the MAN!!!!
