"Your church claims"---this is patently false.
"I don't care about your church"---if that's the truth, then don't concern yourself with it.
"I realize you've been taught not to read the bible in Revelation"------this is false. The Catholic church teaches that Revelation is anagogical, that it is also linked to the Book of Daniel, and that, like all Scripture is also understood from the moral perspective. That it contains some references as allegorical, especially those passages linked to the Book of Daniel, is not at all unfounded.
"I can't picture the Lord with blonde hair and blue eyes, with limp wrists and a tenor voice"-----I don't know where you came up with that.
It's sort of economic in its simplicity. They tell us we have blinders on, that we don't love the truth and all that, so it's pretty clear this is not about reasoned persuasion but about venting. And there's less expense of time and mental effort if they don't trouble to find out what we really believe, but the joy of venting is undiminished.
Hence the weird remarks --remarks that often leave me scratching my head and wondering WHERE did THAT come from?
Oh and then there's the "We know what you REALLY belive, better than YOU do."
Of course, I'm just back from my Masonic meeting where, as soon as we got went through our correspondence with the tri-lateral commission we engaged in fertility rites celebrating the union of Jesus with Mary Magdalene, aka the Holy Grail, and the preservation of their bloodline in the person of Madonna. (Does she have a great disguise or WHAT?) So I MAY have missed something. But somehow I think not. Tell Simon Magus "hey," for me, okay? He should remember who I am. After all, I paid good money for this power ...
