It's probably sillier to believe that than it is to believe in a magic book. I'd love to hear other peoples opinions.
Whomever wrote revelation didn't write the gospel of john, and this was recognized by proto christian authority before there was an early church. Before the beliefs we call christian were codified. However, because of the popularity and theological utility of both stories, as well as the imagined pedigree of the apostolic author..both were included and attributed to him in spite of this.
Additionally, neither revelation or john, were written by john the apostle.
So..as above, is it sillier to believe that a god inspired a story...or that a rural fisherman who wrote no stories...wrote two stories...that were definitely written by separate authors?
It's always the little hidden miracles behind the miracle beliefs that amuse me most. Snows over here crediting Cletus for other peoples books, Vicki thinks a missing body led to the NT and beliefs she holds.
