![]() ![]() Who else resides in Hell? Dante’s enemies. The three are a bit dated but fitting for Dante’s time.

It’s a part of Hell, but the company there is great. Here Dante answers his days equivalent of is Gandhi in Heaven or Hell? He was a great person, wise, peaceful, a good leader so he should be in heaven, but he is not Christian so how can he be any place but Hell?

I always felt The Inferno contained the best place to spend eternity, but not in an AC/DC “Hell Ain’t a Bad Place to Be” way. Purgatory is a boring place by design and Heaven is well, heaven.

The Divine Comedy is one man’s journey with his guide, through Hell and Purgatory, Virgil. Most people are familiar with the Divine Comedy regardless of their religion or lack of one. The Inferno or Dante Alighieri need little introduction. ![]()
