Entry: Absinthe and the Apocalyse Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/absinthe_and_the_apocalypse#6941 Post contents: John Zmirak, Your article seems to imply that John, Chists beloved disciple, was drinking absinthe when he "came up" with Revelation. I know that by actually reading, and not skimming, your piece one will see this is not so. Many will unfortunately skim the piece though, and go about thinking Revelation is just a book by a stoned-holy-man. That is wrong sir...................you shouldn't be so cavalier regardless of what you may think of that book. Lefties often mock "things" in much the same style, never answering direct arguments, mocking and making light of 'weak' points, and arguing in bad faith, and attributing false characteristics to the argument that the opposition never made (the fallen star is typically interpreted to be an asteroid or comet, not a giant lamp-like "star" which would obviously engulf the planet). Not that I like or agree with the "rapture reverends", but we do ourselves a disservice by not engaging them theologically with fair summaries of their interpretations of the book and their beliefs vs. ours. You wrote a cartoon-column about a biblical book, and thats a shame. Sent at: 2008 10 06
