CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Do you mean 'apocalypse' and 'metaphor'?Is the apcolipse like...a medafore...I mean I just don't get how an angel can pour out the revege of God on the earth.
Why don't you supply the Bible verses to which you refer so that we can have a biblical discussion?

I hate this tiny keyboard. Revalations chapter 4 to the end of revalations. It talks about the seven angels with the seven "woes". I just somehow think it is a metafor. And the talk about the beast kind of seems to me like humanity getting worse and worse.

See 'The Language of the Book of Revelation'. It uses symbolic language but not especially metaphor.
What is a metaphor? About.com: Grammar & composition, gives this definition: 'A metaphor, as defined in our glossary, is a figure of speech in which an implied comparison is made between two unlike things that actually have something important in common. The word metaphor itself is a metaphor, coming from a Greek word meaning to "transfer" or "carry across." Metaphors "carry" meaning from one word, image, or idea to another'.
