Revelation 17:8
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
Discuss.
The road to perdition is much easier to navigate if you don’t have to worry about

stumbling over members of the press during your journey.
A little music.
Clearly this passage is about cable television.
The GOP by another name.
I learn so much here. I had always thought it was the book of Revelations.
Anyway, here are a couple revelations for y’all:
• She was an awful, horribly flawed candidate to begin with.
• Stupidity should be painful.
@5 And here are a couple of revelations for you:
(1) Your candidate is much, much worse.
(2) The people who voted for him eventually will become painfully aware of what they did.
(3) With your party now in complete control, whatever happens, you own it.
Oh, the beast is. The beast most definitely is.
Whut?
The beast is what the whore of Babylon rides. It is an allegoric reference to Rome. The Empire that ruled the known world at the time.
If you ant to have real fun with this then you do what Cotton Matter did and you call the Whore of Babylon the Pope of the Catholic church. That brand of bigotry has been alive and well in America for years, but this passage is part of the justification.
Now following the rest of the book it does seem we should all be getting to the tree of life and the river of the world of life stuff at the end of the book. Then again it all rather reads like stereo instructions. Or the brochure that caused Eric the Red to go to Greenland.
@6 What aren’t we a country that is of the people, by the people and for the people?
And when did the US Constitution become copyrighted?
The Book of Revelations was written about 90 years after Christ died. It was written by a lunatic who lived in a cave on the island of Patmos who is known as “John the Divine.” He probably was talking about the Roman Empire, and his ramblings have nothing to do with modern times.
My guess is that John engaged in enjoying some really good cave fungi, which was the inspiration for Revelations. About 600 years later, my boy, Muhammad, did a little cave fungi and came up with Islam. How else can we explain the craziness of Islam?
All religions are nuts. The key to getting along is to not take any of them too seriously because religions will be with us forever.
@5. Did Seattle leagalize Crack? That is some good shit you are smoking there.
Watch it. Or don’t
