Hi Suzi,
I also have a "bratty 16 year old" inside my 49 year old head but it occurred to me as I was reading your post that we should all be praying for this deluded sad man who has the temerity to call the divinely inspired work of Revelation as "Fiction".  No lightning bolt will strike him - he will simply go to hell along with the millions of others who hear the call yet refuse to answer.
Can we please all pray for this man as we are asked to by Jesus?
