On his show last night, Lawrence O'Donnell responded to Glenn Beck's comments on the recent tragic events in Japan.
Glenn Beck:
The book of Revelation was written so you would know what it looks like, you would know -- warning! -- in these days these things will happen.
Lawrence O'Donnell:
The book of Revelation is a work of fiction describing how a truly vicious god would bring about the end of the world. No half-smart religious person actually believes the book of Revelation. They are certain that their god would never turn into a malicious torturer and mass murderer beyond Hitler's wildest dreams.
I agree with Lawrence O'Donnell about the book of Revelation. But I'm not so sure about the half-smart religious persons. I suspect there are some half-smart religious persons that believe (or half-believe or half-pretend to half-believe) in the book of Revelation (though most haven't even half-read it).

The entire Bof R is nothing but a description of a flashback. The only rational response to it is "wow, your subconscious sure comes up with some crazy shit, doesn't it?"
