er.....no beast worship here - so no worries (atheists - not big on worship you see, its kinda in the definition).
Well they do not worship God.
The beast is not God.
So they may worship the beast.

And here are MORE quotes from Revelation
An angel threw the censer down to earth, causing thunder, lightning, and earthquakes. 8:5
"I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth." 9:1
"And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth...." To John, the stars are just little lights a few miles away that can easily fall to the earth. 6:13
John "saw four angels standing on the four corners of the earth. 7:1
Well, I guess that settles it: the earth is flat and square-shaped, or at least quadrilateral in shape. Stars fall to earth on a regular basis - and ANGELS cause thunder - lightning - and eathquakes too!!!!!!!!!
When does a SENTIENT person accept that these stories are MYTHS and LEGENDS - when they actually READ the whole bible
The bible makes absolutely NO sense if you actually read the whole thing. THe problem with the theists - is that they are cherry picking and creating a belief system based on what PARTS of the bible they consider useful.

Revelation is written in symbolic and figuration language.
The Lamb does not have 7 eyes and the beast does not have 10 heads.
