Revelations

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.

I believe that Revelations is partially literal and partially alligorical.

I believe either the large majority or the whole of Revelations is allegorical. I don't believe that beasts from hell will be running around devouring people up.

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

Revelations is the ramblings of a primitive lunatic. Stop asking silly questions Cinjin!

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.
