| Poll: Regarding the Book of Revelations found in the Bible .... This poll is closed. |

| I believe that Revelations must be translated literally and that such stories of a seven-headed beast rising from the sea and the four horseman are going to be very real and exactly that. | 2 | 5.71% | |
| I believe that Revelations is partially literal and partially alligorical. | 2 | 5.71% | |

| If you're left behind after the rapture, you are going to witness terrifying monsters for real! | 1 | 2.86% | |

The Poll is for our christian theist members ... for the most part.
Feel free to elaborate. I'm only asking because of a recent conversation with one of your kind. ![[Image: Evolution.png]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk619%2Fjcincain%2FPublic%2FEvolution.png)

I also believe that it already happened in the Year of Our Lord 1757 as real events in the spiritual world but recorded as allegory to accommodate earthly understanding. As per Swedenborg in Apocalypse Revealed.

As per Swedenborg in Apocalypse Revealed. I must've missed that one. You are an odd one Chad, but you're also the only christian on this site that I can stomach. (plus your idea of Hell is kinda fun )

An easily overlooked entry to the poll which is probably the most relevant to anti-apologists: The Book of Revelation is merely a more modern retelling of the Papyrus of Ani . A 1200 B.C. Egyptian funerary text which has a Heaven and Hell complete with a Pool of Fire reserved for the Devil.

Revelation is nothing more than the writings of a superstitious man tripping on mushrooms. But it's funny how seriously Christians take that book of the bible. You can make any claim you want about the end of the world or the antichrist and just claim that it's in Revelation, and Christians won't question you. The thing is, yet again I must ask why would I want to worship a god which will make such bizarre and horrific events happen?
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
