The literal interpretation of the book of revelation is indeed deeply concerning. I work in a monastery and asked several monks about their beliefs and even they say the book of revelation should be taken symbolically rather than literally. I know them for quite a while and they know me, but never have they ever threatened me with hell and eternal damnation if I don't live up to God's expectations. IMHO they seem much more spiritually advanced than their fundamentalistic brothers and sisters.
