"And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name."

er.....no beast worship here - so no worries (atheists - not big on worship you see, its kinda in the definition).

Well they do not worship God.

The beast is not God.

So they may worship the beast.

And here are MORE quotes from Revelation

An angel threw the censer down to earth, causing thunder, lightning, and earthquakes. 8:5

"I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth." 9:1

"And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth...." To John, the stars are just little lights a few miles away that can easily fall to the earth. 6:13

John "saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth. 7:1



Well, I guess that settles it: the earth is flat and square-shaped, or at least quadrilateral in shape. Stars fall to earth on a regular basis - and ANGELS cause thunder - lightning - and eathquakes too!!!!!!!!!


When does a SENTIENT person accept that these stories are MYTHS and LEGENDS - when they actually READ the whole bible

The bible makes absolutely NO sense if you actually read the whole thing. THe problem with the theists - is that they are cherry picking and creating a belief system based on what PARTS of the bible they consider useful.

Revelation is written in symbolic and figuration language.

The Lamb does not have 7 eyes and the beast does not have 10 heads.

The only thing I worship has tits and wears leather.

Some atheists here may worship other things.

Anyway, if you dont worship any supersticial or imaginary thing one cannot worship "the beast".

Unless "the beast" wears leather and has tits.

Leather optional for me, for example.

You do not eat your own head.

A baby is not your own head.

So you may eat babies.

You monster!

Prove it.

This is an assumption. You have provided no evidence that this is true.

Therefore it's opposite, that Revelations is a literal account, is true by default.
