Ok I dont know if any of you have even read the Book of Revelations which is sometimes called the Apocalypse of John.It contains an account of the author, thought by many to be John or John of Patmos, who saw a vision describing future events at the end of the world—involving the final rebellion by Satan at Armageddon, God's final defeat of Satan, and the restoration of peace to the world. I believe it is just the Imagination of a man who was dying and using hallucinogetic drugs and It is ridiculous to even follow the "events" of this bombastic text!

QUOTE The bible is a book of lies people wrote so billions of people could have the same imaginary friend and be brainwashed into believing something that is false. The book of revelations is just some lie made to scare people. That is my opinion usually when we debate, we use concrete evidence to back up our opinions, rather than spout mindless nonsense. |

QUOTE(kryogenix @ Jun 28 2005, 5:04 PM) what hallucinogens were around back then? Mushrooms. John of Patmos lived on an island--Patmos, to be specific--that is known for having lots of wild mushrooms which have, of course, powerful hallucinogenic properties. Some scholars belief John ate these mushrooms while exiled on the island. |
