"Alone We Fell"

If you look at the circle of Inferno dedicated to lust, there are echoes to passages of scripture that deal with double-mindedness  (ie, James 1). It is interesting to me that this is first. If sin is truly mere corruption, then lust is only false love. This outer layer puts the sinner closer in this extent away from God. Even if the crime of the Old Testament is told in terms of lust and adultery (forgetting your first love), Dante seems to give it a pass compared with other sins I might have placed higher up. Groupings are weird.

I commented on Dallas's and Daniel's
