LOLXians, indeed: “Some scholars believe that the Book of Revelation in the bible was not a prediction of the future of the world but actually encrypted messages between Christians at a time when Christians were being killed for being Christians.”
Can you imagine the supreme irony if this is true? It’s like the metaphysical equivalent of seeing someone slipping on a banana peel or switching the gender signs on public bathroom doors. It’s an epic joke.
The most hardcore practitioners of the Christian philosophy are obsessed with a message written in code that they are unable to decipher because they are politically closed to interpretation of any kind.
It would be like happening upon a cult of Beatles fans whose favorite song is the pig Latin version of “Hey Jude.”
Tourist: “You know, the real lyrics are actually much better.”
Cultist: “Silence, you infidel!”
