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

RE: Revelations
Revelations actually confirms that God is a borg. Look at the new Jerusalem totally a borg cube.

Evidence exhibit A, your honor:

It reads like a bad acid trip.

When jesus freaks use the word "tradition" it means there is no fucking evidence at all.

Again, granted that it's an acid trip and has been labelled a shroom psychotic episode. Just wondered what substance (other than the shrooms) there was to connect it with Patmos and its resident hippie.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

RE: Revelations
I remember hearing some wacko preacher on shortwave claim that the UN was the first beast in the book of Revelation. I think due to it having seven heads and ten crowns or whatever. Somehow that was supposed to relate to the different heads of government working together or some nonsense.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

Probably just sounded good in the scriptwriter's lounge.

You just reminded me of a totally awesome painting at Star Trek: The Experience, the Borgified New York City.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Funny how Christians claim that N.T. god doesn't intervene in mortal affairs... except when he does in the O.T.. You know; plague, smiting, speaking with prophets, setting plants on fire, wrestling with people and breaking their hips when he loses (talk about a sore loser), answering bald prophets prayers for wildlife to destroy teenagers (here there be bears folks), not to mention the goddamned obliteration of Sodom & Gomorrah (to be fair he told Lot to tell his wife not to look but I'll be damned she just had to turn around and see god taking a nuclear dump on the citiy so god just had to turn her into salt because one simply doesn't look upon the holy cheeks), and the fucking flood.

But he doesn't intervene. Shifty

I wouldn't mind getting to see that. Sounds great.

Ever read Acts?
