Re: The Fatuity of the Second Coming!
Are you suggesting that The prophet John the author of Revelations studied Freud and Jung? LOL!!! Thats a good one.
Are you suggesting that Revelations and its symbolism should be contorted and changed and interpreted by using psycology? What makes your psycological associations of the cryptic messages in Revelations any more factual than David Koresh's? Revelations is a story written by a pissed off Jewish man who had a bone to pick with the Romans and with orthodoxed Jews who were against this new faction of Judaism called Christianity. It was written IMO to keep the newly formed christians in line and scare them into maintaining faith. The story almost got shit canned when it was proposed to go into the cannon. The only people that believe that it is literal are superstitious fundalmentalist, and the idea of trying to bastardize the story into Freudian psycology is absurd to say the least. I have more respect for the literalist, at least they stick to what is in the text.
