It's really too bad that the whole piece reads like it came from a bronze-age shaman hopped up to the gills on some really, really potent 'shrooms. (Yes, I've read it, many times - it was my Mothers' favorite book.) I rather prefer the Revelations take that many scholars follow (although how one can come to any conclusions about a confused description of a really bad LSD trip is almost as mind-boggling as the book) - - that it was written before 70 "AD" and predicted the fall of Jerusalem. The dragon, and all the evil, is descriptive of the Roman empire. But, of course, the fact that absolutely nobody on the planet can actually say what this work of drivel MEANS proves to me that it doesn't mean ANYTHING of ANY IMPORTANCE other than it's moronic drivel, and there is certainly no deity involved.
Since you had nothing noteworthy to say I'll say this, nothing, it makes as much sense as what you said.

Please read a book about psychology that emphasizes projections of one's own faults onto others. Please.
I mean, this is weapons-grade irony here.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
