Revelations is just weird man, I never got into it. The surreal symbolism is just too fucked up for me. It's the only book of the new testament I never really read or got into.
And in Spanish we call Revelations the book of Apocalypsis. A lot more eerie.

I was actually talking to some guy who’s always tryin to turn me back onto Christianity..you know what I don’t wanna tell you. It’s in the Bible but it’s so stupid it’ll probably turn you off and who wants to die scared? Nobody!

I think the bible was written by jews and is not to be trusted. And an afterlife? Don't be ridiculous. I mean, I wish there was one, but it's obviously made up. I ratter believe in heaven and hell as a mental state while you are living. Learn how to live in peace, love others, but also defend yourself. I actually hate how Christians talk about giving the other cheek.
All in all, I prefer being surrounded by Christians because I understand them and they are often, not always, good people. Same as how I prefer South Americans because I understand the culture. Deep down I am an agnostic, but if I had to choose between marrying a Christian girl and an atheist, believe me I will choose christian.

Yes it’s awesome I love it. The rest of the Bible is pretty gay. Oh wow jesus can you walk on water? Iv seen bugs do that. Oh jesus did you make a bunch of fish and bread??? Wow so really you had it stashed and somebody found out so you didn’t wanna ruin your image so you shared it? Wow what a fuckkng miracle worker.

Just ignore the Jewish lies aka miracles. Concentrate in the stories and try to interpret them as best you can. Yes, the bible is full of loonie stuff, I hate it too, but there is wisdom too. Jesse Lee Peterson is very good at extracting and expressing said wisdom.
