Have you not read revelations? It's not really a party inspiring book.
Not the point I was going for, really. What I was trying to get across is that, to the believer - and I so wanted to type 'belieber' there, please shoot me - anyway to them, all of this is supposed to signify the return of their messiah figure in all its gory glory. If it was me, I might be tempted to think this is A Good Thing.

Incidentally, it's Revelation, not revelations, from the Koine Greek apokalypsis. More popularly if not accurately, The Book of The Revelation of Saint John the Divine. Yes I have read it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
