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.

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

Basically this book is how John would describe the last days of man, right or wrong this was the best he could do.

Funny how he totally didn't see modern buildings like skyscrapers, automobiles, guns, or tanks, nor people communicating with electronic devices, or even concrete highways for that matter, but all he could see was people riding horses and carrying swords.

And since he was incapable of describing the things he was seeing, one would think his god would put the words into him the way he put the words into the tent dwellers turned self-proclaimed prophets on the mainland. Oh ...er ... that's right, his god didn't do a very good job with that either.
