lol. I can't help laughing. You people go in circles, never making any sense. Peter tells you, flat out, he's in Babylon, which really is quite funny, but you prefer to ignore the implications of the remark. Maybe he was talkng literally, and maybe figuratively. Either way, it should give you pause.

Now, that's plain out silly. Babylon was a ruined city in the 1st century AD. Furthermore, it was in Partian control. How would a person from the Roman Empire get there? Furthermore, even arguing about that is silly -- there's adequate proof that the term "Babylon" was used for Rome. If you take it a literally Babylon, that's wrong. Taking it as literally or fuguratively are two different things. It's like saying now: "hollywood Babylon", so if the papers say someone in LA is in Babylon, then, are they really in Iraq?
