Hollywierd hasn't a clue about the Bible or Christianity and hasn't had one for over sixty years.

I'd like to see this, just because I like Bill Pullman - he's got good roots.

where centuries earlier the apostle John wrote the last book of the Bible, Revelation.

The apostle John didn't write it. It was someone else who happened to be named John.

They must find and protect Jesus from the stalking Antichrist

ROFL!!! Thanks for the 'preview'. Just more garbabe from Hollyweird. The producer will need to ask Jesus for protection from the stalking financial backers, when this miniseries meets its demise.

True enough, but does that make it any more OK to play fast and loose with the divine details?

Yes it does. It's a movie. It's fiction. Even when adapting novels for TV they change them.

If Hollywood isn't already the Whore of Babylon it's hard to imagine what more it takes to win the title.

I never really understood people's fixation on the end times. I never gave it too much thought - whether it happens sooner or later, I have to live my life the same way. Whether I die all by my lonesome or with a few billion others, I will still be judged on my own and on my record.

I think the fixation on it is less on the end times but on the 'saved' status of the person who has the fixation. In other words, despite their rhetoric they come off as almost giddy at the prospect of all sorts of awful things are going to happen to people not in their club, except of course they will be spared since they are in the special club.

That's dubious to me at best. At the very least it is self serving. At worst, it's pathological.
