To paraphrase Marvin the Paranoid Android: "I've read it; it's rubbish." I am
not a big believer in the Bible, and that is doubly-so for the wilder books.
The book of Revelations reads like a pretty cool psychedelic novel. It's a
fairly entertaining bit of fantasy. But I would no more "shit a brick" about
it than I would about "Lord of the Rings."

Or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

That depends on your definition of "facts." You believe that the Bible contains
facts. And that is cool; you have every right to believe what you want, and I
respect that. But you can't expect people with different beliefs to accept
the Bible as factual.

My question is: Why should Christians try to force their beliefs on others?
Why not respect the fact that other people will have separate beliefs, and
leave it at that.
