I have the perfect place for such a dialogue. I present (again)
the Open Bible Project (originally posted and ignored). Go and mark up
what *you* think Revelations is about.

http://www.memetree.com/crit/nph-med.cgi/http://www.memetree.com/bible/66_bible.shtml

or just go to http://www.memetree.com/ and click the Open Bible Project link.

...and there I was thinking nobody on this list would care about something
Bible-related.
