what is most natural to humans. The sins also follow what offends God the
most, with Sins Against Sexuality in the seventh circle because human
sexuality is sacred. Murder then offends God next above Sins Against
Sexuality because murder is killing the people created in Gods image and
likeness. Sins against God are last because they offend Him the most,
