... showed. “When he was in the company of women he felt free, and knew what to say to them and how to behave; and he was at ease with them even when he was silent.” If Gurov regarded women as the “lower race” than why was he only at rest when in their company? In truth I think that he liked women, he needed women. The reason he puts on this “tough guy” act is because he has never found a woman that he truly loved.

... Divine Comedy” that Dante wrote is Purgatorio (Purgatory).
If I was chosen to be God, sinners would be sent to neither hell nor heaven, instead they would stay on earth. No one would commit an iniquitous act and be punishing to eternal damnation. If a person did commit an iniquitous act, there would be a punishment, but not a horrendous punishment by sending that person to hell.
