Here's an overview from the USCCB: http://www.usccb.org/bible/revelation/0
why thank you, Randy. I knew I could count on you to shield CL from the question.
Unfortunately, that link isn't terribly helpful to the discussion. It insists Revelation is not literal, but it doesn't provide much insight into what they think is actually going to happen during end times, nor how the actual end times will be any less brutal than what's depicted. The simple fact seems to remain that if you and/or CL are claiming that Christ's second coming will not entail damnation for most of humanity, this is an even more baseless assertion than usual because it isn't even backed by scripture.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
