      Maybe it's because I have this chronic affliction that, among other things, means that I pay an insane amount of attention to detail, but I had my AHA moment right in the opening where the narrator said: _"This proves [...] that God does not play dice with the Universe. I play an ineffable game of my own devising. For everyone else, it's like playing Poker in a pitch-dark room for Infinite stakes with a dealer who won't tell you the rules and who smiles all the time."_

I miss the way it made my brain work, but I got to keep the hardwired optimism. It's not a terrible thing. But it has its drawbacks. I had a pet die, and I really couldn't grieve.

    I remember at church, sometime in the early 70's, we had a church scholar do part of service one sunday. He taught us that the stories in revelations were just hidden words of support for the early christians. They were not prophetical at all. The bad characters represented leaders of the time who were putting down Christian teachings and the stories we're ment to give the people hope for the future....they were never ment to be seen as predictions of what would happen in the 'end days'
