I think heresy should be out because it is unreasonable for people to go to hell simply because they did not believe in Christianity. Back then, Christianity was one of the main religions, but nowadays people respect differences in culture and freedom of religion. People have a right to believe in any religion they want to.

I also think lust shouldn't be in Dante's hell because lust is just a natural thing that is embedded into us since we were born. It is just human nature to feel lust and be attracted sexually when looking at the other gender. If sin of lust actually existed, everyone would have to go to hell.

I think all of the levels of Dante's hell is appropriate even to today's society. All of them are sins no matter how common or uncommon they are. I would probably add more levels that go against my morals than take out any. I also don't agree that most of you guys would take out lust just because they're too common to today's society. Even though they are common and that many people commit lust, it is not right according to my morals and virtues. Lust brings more consequences such as a family breakdown, lost of faith towards the person who committed the crime, and so on. It doesn't just end there, but build up more catastrophic outcomes. Therefore, I believe lust should not be taken out as well as all other levels that Dante made.

I personally think that lust should be in the 9 levels, but not in level 2. I think that lust should be considered as a more serious crime and be placed lower to about below greed. These days, we can often find news about how a man raped a woman or harassed her. It is common to see crimes of lust. And the victims of such crimes often have to go through much trauma and thus the aftereffects of the crimes are even more worse than first expected. Therefore, I believe that lust should be punished more severely in Dante's Inferno.

I think Limbo shouldn't exist because even though it's not severe as the other levels of Hell, it is weird that someone who didn't do anything wrong get punishment. I also agree with everyone that lustful shouldn't be included in the levels of Hell because since it is a human nature, it's too hard to control for human.

I don't think there should be any removal BUT i think all the level should be loosen. Like Lust, Gluttony are the part of human nature, so there should be some allowance to do it.

I think lustful people should be punished because not suppressing their sexual desire when they shouldn't should be a sin. I don't get why gluttony should be part of the hell because why is it a sin to consume or eat a lot. I get the point though. During Dante's time, people who eat a lot should have been considered greedy and selfish. But these days, I think eating a lot rather helps the society, concerning how much people waste their food these days.

I also agree that lust, herresy, and gluttony should be part of Dante's hell just because such things are up to us. Lust is sort of uncontrollable as it's a natural thing to feel sexual desires towards another person, but ofcourse people lived by different principles centuries ago. Herresy is totally up to us, we have the choice to what to practice and believe, as long as our beliefs don't harm anyone than we can practice them freely, people have choices on what to believe in life. Gluttony also shouldn't be in the list because it's also our choice to how much we eat, sometimes for some people eating excessive amount of food is a privilege that they don't get to do everyday like us or someone just likes to full extremely full, either way it's our choice to do so.

i think there is a part on the 7th circle of hell saying that if we are disrespectfull to our guest we will be punished. what if the guest is disrespectfull to us? it is our home and I think we have no right to always be nice to guests(if they are disrespectfull to us) ha..

GLUTTONY GLUTTONy GLUTTONY GLUTTONY!!!!!!!! I know that they lacked food surplus back then so eating a lot was a sin. However, I think it should be out by now because lots of people get to eat what they want. Some people, who suffer a lot due to poverty, might need more food. However, I believe some people who suffer poverty was their own fault for being lazy and more. I think people can have luxuries like over eating when they deserve it. To be honest, I don't want gluttony to be in the inferno hell by Dante because I will go to this level of hell.
I also think that greed shouldn't be in the level 4. I think greed is what motivates us to work harder and desire more. I think it is one of the aspect and human nature that we need in order to progress. Greed is the one that leads us to the success.
I personally think that everyone will go to hell if the hell was designated by Dante. Literally, people at least once committed sin in their life times.
