Modern Day Inferno

The sins of the first three circles are sins of ignorance, similar to Dante's original version. These people were unaware of their sins when they committed them because it was normal behavior in their everyday lives. The first circle contains those who sinned against the environment, either through driving cars, using non-recycled paper, or littering.

The demons tell them that once they open a door and go outside they may go to heaven where they belong. They are put into a Lincoln Navigator, the largest sports utility vehicle ever made, in a massive parking garage and told that when they find a parking spot they may leave hell and ascend to heaven.
