To Christians who aren't creationists

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

I didn't realize there was even a single part of the Bible that was an eyewitness account. Did I miss something?

The Book of Revelations does indeed seem to a first hand experience----of at least two people under the influence of a powerful hallucinogen or having a psychotic episode.

In terms of the genre of drug-induced literature,it's really quite pathetically aweful.

Compare it with say Thomas De Quincy's "Confessions Of An English Opium Eater" and "Kubla Khan" (and other poems) Samuel Colleridge.

onfessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821) is an autobiographical account written by Thomas De Quincey, about his laudanum (opium and alcohol) addiction and its effect on his life. The Confessions was "the first major work De Quincey published and the one which won him fame almost overnight..."[1]

First published anonymously in September and October 1821 in the London Magazine,[2] the Confessions was released in book form in 1822, and again in 1856, in an edition revised by De Quince

-----De Quincey's Confessions influenced psychology and abnormal psychology, and attitudes towards dreams and imaginative literature.

The first few lines of "Kubla Khan"

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree :
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea. (lines 1-5)
