Ironic, considering the last circle of Hell in Dante's Inferno is actually a frozen wasteland with Satan encased in ice in the middle up to his waist.

You forgot the best part. Satan has 3 faces and each face has a mouth. One mouth is continuously chewing judas, another mouth is chewing brutus and the third is chewing cassius. For eternity.

It's a great book, but it really shows how christianity ( or religion in general ) is glorified fan fiction.

I don't think Dante's inferno is actually part of anyone's religious beliefs. Everyone does and always has regarded it as a work of fiction. It's not a reflection on Christianity.

Are you under the impression that Dante’s Inferno is canon in Christianity?
