Maybe it won't be so mysterious once you find your donkey ass following after the carrot of salvation on the netherisland of the psuedodamned for a trillion years. I'll wager that the idea of a billion millenia of purgation through misery and torment won't be so fascinating once it becomes a reality. And that's only if you're lucky. Repent, you sin-puff, throw yourself at the knees of our Lord and grip at his pant legs for forgiveness, or spend your afterlife in despair, and then ultimate bliss, but first despair.
Who would dare insult Dante's divine vision? Do you think it's a cheap coincidence that the work remains untainted by puerile satire after seven centuries? Any upstanding Christaholic can tell you that the Lord of Infinite Love and Insecurity puts his top three in this order:
1. The Divine Comedy
2. Danielle Steel's 'To Love Again'
3. Von Unaussprechlichen Kulten
Only the truly Hell-bound would think to see the Bible as a favorite of God's. After all, pride isn't his most loved personality trait. Even less likely is that he would allow for a moment that a cheap parody of this most divine comedy be spewed forth by his own spawn.
Remember, Draconysius, and all of you sin-drenched sons of the morning who call themselves 'goths', the Sisters of Mercy aren't just a band.
