You could be right. When I read the Bible, I get the distinct feeling that if you believe, you will be going to hell and the others will go to heaven. Like the narrow, winding path where only a few find their way. Most people who read the bible are Christian so aren't the majority on the wide path, not the narrow one?

What if this.... What if that... You will be clinically insane talking like that BOY!!!! CALM DOWN!!!!!!!
If you don't know what I mean by this... Let me give you one of my 'What if's':
What if God left Earth a LOOOOoong time ago. What if all of efforts, our prayers, and our praises are futile? What if God gave up on our perverted, evil species? What if at one point God said... "man... There's no hope for these creatures" and then he floated away to some other distant star and created another world... but this time PERFECTLY... What if we were one of God's experiments gone bad... that he had abandoned... What if we were God's 10th try at perfection, and there were 9 other planets full of people like us... What if God was the universe... and we (along with everything else in this universe) were merely "cells" in his living body... ?
See what I mean... CRAZY i tell you... CRAZY... get off the pipe, and stay away from "what if's".

The book of Revelations is based on a dream by John the Apostle and it is full of symbolism as you'd find in a dream. It is not to be taken literally. Get a grip.

This is an impossibility. The Rapture would have occurred and all christians would have been taken up. 7 years later the world ends. Maybe you should reread Revelations and pose a more logical question.

No. As Thomas Jefferson quipped: "It might desire to have been written by skill of a lunatic". truly, The e book of Revelation replace into no longer meant for any yet people who have been modern-day with that's writing...It replace into written, no longer as prophecy, yet as encouragment for Christians who have been cutting-edge technique violent persecution. It replace into written in one among those 'code' (meant to guard the author), yet that code has been lost, rendering Revelation unintelligable to the well known reader. As Harris states in "information the Bible"...."Revelation belongs to that variety of non secular writings that's maximum calculated to bewilder the reader...Like different Apocalypses ...Revelation is written in cryptic symbols, a literary code that purely the initiated, possibly the author's unique aim industry, could understand. it is likewise like different apocalypses, such as a results of fact the e book of Daniel, in having been composed to fulfill a directly disaster--hence, the Emperor Domitian's persecution of Christians". the factor that maximum Christian apologists overlook is that John is advised "to no longer seal up his innovative and prescient (as Daniel were recommended) "as a results of fact the hour of fulfillment (the tip of persection) is close to". That verse has been seen as a prophecy of the tip cases....yet that certainty that John seen it forthcoming, provides the misinform the tip-of-days theorists.

Revelations has caused more problems than it has aided, in this answerer's opinion. Almost all of the cults, such as charles manson's and Jim Jones's can trace their roots back to that book.

Revelation is not Nostradamus. Paranoia is mental illness. No one knows the day or the hour. Be less obsessed with "them" and more concerned about how you live your own life.

No, it makes no sense. Your time line is all fouled up. Read revaluation again, with someone who knows a little about the symbolism of prophesy.

It doesn't make a lot of sense to me, but it is interesting to think about.

Unquestionably. There is no reason to convert anyone to anything except to take possession of their mind or their money (or both).
