When it comes to the dreaded book of revelations, I always hate to see those theist literal interpretations of a book that was written during the time of the Roman persecutions of christianity. FYI the number 666 refers to Nero, you know that guy who played his fiddle while Rome burned? The book in total is a code that only early christians could understand. Unfortunate for us we don't have the campanion lexicon. It is dangerous to look at this book out side of theological scholarship and rely on it is a vailble source of divine communication. Given the subject matter covered we should really consider it the "horror movie" of the bible! Tell me honestly you don't believe that "freddie or jason" will jump at you and your family as you picnic next labour day!

As you can imagine, we found it unenlightening. But it did prove useful a few weeks later when my she, in a completely different context, asked me what schizophrenia was. I was then able to answer that it was having visions like John's and believing them. A couple years ago my then 8 year-old daughter asked about the 666 superstition so we read through Revelation.

(I had to quote you when I blogged about the Newsweek article...) I just don't understand how anyone can take this stuff seriously.
