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.

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

So this book gets special consideration from you only because it speaks of things to come?

So the burning bush was allegorical but the seven headed beast is literal? How can you make the distinction?
