America is the Babylon of Revelations

John the Divine. He was a trippin' kinda guy. I still say it is a tossup about whether he had better drugs than Nostradamus.

Isn't that Obama?

Indeed.

You and dealsgapdragon need to party together.

Dude, you don't want to go to the Christian heaven. Think about it. The only pussy that's walking around won't fuck anyone but the Holy Spirit. Plus think about all of those women who were nuns back on Earth. They spent their whole lives talking to a wall and begging their god to let them into Heaven, away from all the sinful cocks on Earth. They won't touch yours...

What does it tell you? Get some NOW!

Yes. Nothing beats the pussy argument.

Get serious, life is a mote in the eye of the flea on the dog of eternity. (See, I can do it too)

There's more to it but I don't have that kind of encyclopedic memory.

Oh wait. I see. It's "face value" but you can't recall just exactly what it said?

So, right off the top of my head, this could be England, Russia, Germany, France, Norway and Spain. As well as ancient Rome. And Greece.

But then again...

You might want to check out the "number of the beast" and exactly how it fits into Hebrew Numerology, and Roman Emperors that were pretty good at persecuting the early Christian Church. I think the meaning of Revelation will become clear then.

I'm pretty sure you should just shut up now. The author of Revelation identifies himself by name something like five times in the book. He even tells us where he was when he wrote it.

It ain't Paul.

Brazil is going to have the fourth largest economy on Earth in 10 years.

No apology needed, i've never seen the book so you're doing better than me...

Well, you gotta remember that it was written by a dude alone on an island....



Grain of salt, and all that....

And, he had great drugs. That's all I can think of that would explain it. Timothy Leary got nothing on that boy.
