Inferno

[Ubilaz]

How about you use Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer). You could put him in the violence circle of hell.

 

[snakevin]

Gilgamesh? Stalin? Mao? Some Pope? Leopold II of Belgium? Leopold was a vicious disgusting man, you should definetly include him in the play. He "owned" Kongo, it wasn't a colony, he fucking "owned" all the people there. And he treated the natives like animals, cutting of their hands if they didn't work fast enough... He was the animal

For a second, I thought you said Gargamel from The Smurfs!

Hahaha nah, I watched Pokemon instead Don't know any smurfs. Oh and Marx shouldn't be in hell. At all

I agree, if Heaven did exist, he should have his own section, but I do need a guide....

Hahahaha ah that was a good one

Hm a guide? Well the way I understand it, it can be a contemporary philosopher, poet, writer. Virgil wasn't sent to hell was he? He was a guide because, well they were both Italians, Dante and Virgil (DMC eh? ). So your guide doesn't have to be evil? Instead someone wise, who can explain to you everything about hell.

He was sent to Limbo, because he died before Chistianity existed

Aaahaa... Wow. He went to hell because the religion didn't exist... Anyway, well alright. Now I see why people wanted to put in Marx. He was an atheist (Woho!! ). In that case, Marx works brilliantly Funny enough

It would suck to be in limbo. I mean, there is no eternal torture, but then, there is no eternal bliss. A life of bleakness and nver being granted perfect harmony.

Isn't limbo actually a temporary place, where people must wait before they can enter heaven because they didn't get all of their sins absolved?

Well, actually, you're thinking of purgatory

 

[snakevin]

Hmm, I seems to be lacking some gluttons, come on guys, name some of the most gluttonous dead people you know

 

[snakevin]

so guys, here is the list of possible maybes so far, if I am correct. Al Capone, Stalin, Tomas de Torquemada, Vlad Tepes, Hitler, Genghis Khan, Bonnie and Clyde, Saddam Hussein, L. Ron Hubbard, Pope Andrew IV, Anton LaVey, Jeffery Dahmer, John Wilks Boothe, Jack the Ripper, Superman, Kurt Cobain, Karl Marx, Joseph McCarthy, Lee Harvey Oswald and Benedict Arnold

 

[snakevin]

Crap, the thread is dying down, but I still need more souls to condemn to Hell, keep them coming, please guy?

 

[snakevin]

Please, just a couple more people, that is all I ask

For Gluttons, Dante tended to make up his own characters (like Ciacco)... I'd follow his tradition and use it to screw with some things for comedic effect.

If you really want something, I guess you could also use deities or demons from other religions, no? Even if you don't wish to offend people; for example, take Mara, a Buddhist demon who (in myth, this is not necessarily a belief among all Buddhists) was the tempter of the Buddha while he sat under the Bodhi tree, or the Greco-Roman gods (Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Aries, etc).

 

[FactualSquirrel]

Also, guys, remember, when you list someone, place them in what hell would be appropriate for them, The hells in order are
1. Limbo ( people born without knowledge of God)
2. Lust
3. Gluttony
4. Greed
5. Wrath and Sullenness
6. Heresy (Having a radical opinion that differs from that of the word of God)
7. Violence
8. Fraud
9. Betrayal

Al Capone would probably be in violence, but he could also be in fraud (for all the things he lied about and stuff) or lust (because he died of an STD (syphilis, to be exact))

But I want to do real people,or fictional people, but not gods though

 

[I am Jack's profile]

Robert Pickton, Why has nobody mentioned him yet

Heard about that guy, really creepy

 

[Wolfenhawk]

Oh, and no Ted Bundy? :O

Or how about a mention of Sean Sellers? He was famous for murdering and claiming to be a Satanist, then converting in prison.

Who do you think is worse, Ted or Sean?

 

[Xskills]

For fraud, I recommend J. Edgar Hoover. big-fat hypocrite who exploited the executive branch of the US government to black-list (mostly) innocent celebrities for his gain and push his ultra-conservative agenda while he had a relationship with another man.

 

[Shycte]

Ted Bundy [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Bundy] Damn, ninja'd.

Just Go with David Koresh mmmkay? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waco_massacre#.22...I_am_God.21.22_taken_out_of_context_to_support_an_agenda_against_Koresh]

He claimed to be working for god and stuff so it would work fine for your play. Put him in heresy.

Well, if you still want someone in limbo, then I would suggest Hector - most people will recognize him & it keeps some connection with the original.

EDIT: why not add Tycho Brahe to the gluttony circle? He frequently held insanely huge parties.

Who's Hector?

 

[eels05]

Micheal Jackson

Saddam Hussein

Any celebrities that died from overdoses recently,take your pick.

You could put some of the 9/11 suicide bombers in there.

I think some people would be pissed if I put Micheal Jackson in
