ABSOLUTELY. I love the book of Revelation, but too many don’t understand how to read apocalyptic literature, nor do they understand the source material to contextualize the heavy symbolism. I blame a ton of the dumbshit premillenial dispensationalism crudely hobbled together to resemble a form of eschatology on a poor understanding of Revelation, Dallas Theological Seminary for spreading the fuck out of it, and Schofield for being the dipass to keep it from remaining the obscure hallucinogenic ramblings of a (probably) sick pentecostal woman in England. Man there are so many cool things about the theology of hope and some strong influences of Stoic philosophy(again), but man does American theology love to fetishize about the unbelievers facing a gruesome divine genocide…
I don’t really consider myself a Christian anymore, but I have read the bible during the time I did. The only people I ever knew who were way into revelations were fucking stupid ass old people like my wife’s grandfather who was a miserable vindictive old man who had no admirable traits whatsoever. He was also definitely not aware of the intended meaning, he just like the shit about non-believers finally getting theirs.
Reading that book without the context of other books of the bible and like Paul’s writing in particular is just plain stupid. But I think understanding of also kind of requires other theological understanding.
Knowing the context makes it worse in my opinion, but you do you.
You know what’s really stupid? Thinking Jesus is a beacon of peace, He’s horrifying. If you can’t handle Him murdering everybody in a rage, you can’t get through the Bible anyway.
This is a pretty silly take. Look, I’m an atheist myself and I’m someone who is of the opinion that religion has been a net negative for humanity, but I also know pretty well what I’m talking about when it comes to Christian theology, eschatology, and biblical principles, and I can tell you don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to this subject. There’s plenty to be critical of the Bible about, but you haven’t really hit any of the points at all. If you don’t know the subject very well, you probably shouldn’t form such strong opinions on it.
You saying it’s a silly take is ignorant and misinformed.
I know what I’m talking about too, with over a decade of Christian education from three denominations and many years of Bible studies besides. Your education was apparently shit, I hope you didn’t pay for it!
Perhaps you should study some more so you can catch up with me?
Jesus will murder everyone who won’t submit to Him on His return. This is a FACT, no opinion involved… according to the Bible, anyway.
