Ok DHW, you win. The book of revelation is meant as a literal interpretation, and the only things that will survive the end of gods wrath are the sheep. Babylon the Great is literally the City of Babylon and is literally a whore. There will literally be 7 headed dragons, two head wild beast with 7 horns. The entire planet is going to be literally destroyed, along with the entire universe, and new ones are going to be created only this time without oceans. There are literally four bowls floating up in heaven filled with literal liquid anger, and these are literally going to be poured out on the earth. After some time, we will all be slaves to the asshole dictator god that takes great joy in destroying, abusing, and punishing the things he created like some sort of freak genius bully. Oh, and life the universe and everything was created in a literal 6 days. -
I give up.... -
Sorry, but I explained the the new heavens and new earth were figurative, and even explained what they were references to, so you moved to the next word in the verse and said that it HAD to be literal. That is not reasonable debate, that is willful misrepresentation, which I am sorry to say I do not have the temperament to deal with patiently.-
Also, penance for sins is not simply a Christian concept. In virtually every spiritual belief system death is the price you pay for your sins.

What is the purpose of living? How about, 'to reduce needless suffering. It seems to me to be a worthy purpose.
