Why should a preterist care about scripture when allegory and tradition are so much more satisfying???

and tradition

Tradition? You mean like the tradition of the late, AD95 date for the Book of Revelation?

Your force of argument is so overwhelming that I am enrolling in DTS tomorrow.

Do mountains clap their hands? Why would one apply the same hermeneutic to interpretation of a prophetical book as though it were a historical one like Genesis?

OF COURSE prophecy is chock full of allegory, of types, of shadows.
