I think religion is a scam. The world will only end if humans allow it to end by blowing eachother up and polluting their only ecosystem, which is pretty much what is going on, imagine that.
I wish to clarify my vote. I have recently read portions of this book, but not the whole thing through. I have read it through quite a few times in the past. At this time, I am comparing what it says to current events. Even my Druid brother admits that things tend to line up. The Revelation is not 'pro-war', in the sense that you mean. It is simply a report of war that will happen, God's plan for our future. It's like a newspaper of future events, Apostle John reporting what he saw. And now, the newspapers are simply confirming it, little by little. It's like a reporter in Iraq - he may not be pro-war, he simply writes down what he sees. -----As a Christian, I am not pro-war. I am pro-God. I am not afraid of war, and I do not believe in 'peace at any cost'. There is a difference. The men who fought and died for the freedom we all enjoy now, believed in the same thing. Had they not believed in the need for war at that time, America would be quite a different place right now. And then you have the civil war, what if that never took place? Yes, there is a time for war. That is not 'pro-war' in the negative sense that you wish to portray.------ Ecc 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: Ecc 3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. -------Believing that there are times when war is right is not the same as what you mean by 'pro-war'. ----------The events that lead up to the final war here on this earth will seem very costly to the Christian at times. But this is one war I am looking toward with great anticipation.

Interesting that so many people who believe in the Bible are also Pro-War. I ask them: are you also Pro-Pestilence, Pro-Famine, and Pro-Death?
It would take a revelation to understand it.!
