winterbadgerIn an article on apocalypse fantasies, the BBC states
This month marks Advent in the Christian Calendar, during which Christians are encouraged to read from the Book of Revelation, the apocalyptic vision of St John the Divine.
Say what, now? I was baptised, brought up in the Christian faith, and confirmed (twice, in fact, though it seems not to have stuck), and I've never heard this. Tell me, Christian friends and relations, is this a piece of common knowledge I somehow missed?
Or is it a line of bullshit that some apocalyptic fed the BBC reporter, who was so clueless that she just published it as fact?
