Default Re: How has the LRC affected your view of "Babylon?"

In any case, the insistence that the declaration in Revelation 18 is about Christianity in general, or the RCC in particular, is, at best, speculative and weak. There needs to be more than a bunch of exclusivist preachers denigrating everyone but their kind out there saying it is true based on something more than the kind of nonsense that Lee spouted about it. I need to see scripture more directly aim this at the church rather than at the "world" and/or Satan.

Assuming that John was actually writing Revelation in about 95 AD, the best view of people being drunk on the blood of the saints was the execution of so many Christians by heathen rulers, especially in a way of exhibition, such as in the Coliseum.
