I got a flyer, in the mail, about a bible study course to learn how to unlock Revelation

It is a very colorful flyer with lots of questions. I think I can already answer a few. For instance:

Q. If God is good, why is there pain and suffering in the world?
A. Republicans.
Q. What role does the USA play in Bible Prophecy?
A. I’m pretty sure it has something to do with trump*.
Q. What happened to right and wrong?
A. November 8, 2016.
Q. Who is the antichrist and what is the mark of the beast?
A. trump*/orange skin. Or maybe ‘okey dokey’ finger gestures - I’m not sure about that one.

Ok, so I’m not going to register for this bible study course. However, I could almost be tempted, just to see these cool beasties!! I mean a flyin' lion! How utterly cool is that?

I can think of a few reasons a flying tabby would absolutely not be a great idea, never mind a flying lion. But it would be so cool...

No longer would sleeping on top of the door be restricted to kittehs who live in homes where the fridge is next to the back door.

Not quite first when we talk about packs of winged carnivorous predators which don't fear man, but it was on my list.

Looks to me like you could teach this course.

Flyin' lions are just the start, though (and they have six wings). You also got your beast from the bottomless pit, and another one rises up out of the sea with seven heads, ten horns, and ten crowns on its horns.

Then you have your beast with two horns like a lamb speaking with the voice of a dragon.

Okay, then you got your red dragon with seven heads, ten horns, and seven crowns on his heads, and your three evil spirits that look like frogs, plus your horses, lambs, locusts and vultures.

Sounds like somebody was smokin' somethin' when they wrote this stuff. Just sayin'.

As for that 7 headed red dragon - that gives me pause. Or perhaps inspiration. Being of Welsh ancestry, I'm already represented by a one headed red dragon. Perhaps if our dragon had been SEVEN headed, we could have held the English at bay!

Try about eight tabs of LSD. That ought to do it. If not, take eight more and call me in the morning.

I use to want to collect a bunch of them for paper mache projects. The fundie mailers I get these days just aren't as fun. I haven't gotten a pamphlet or mailer with cool crypto beasties in decades.

I was going to stuff the entire content, and the mailing envelop, into the prepaid one and send it back. But someone warned me that if I did that, the mailings would likely VASTLY increase.
