Quote by Terry Pratchett

Oh, come on. Revelation was a mushroom dream that belonged in the Apocrypha. The New Testament is basically about what happened when God got religion

Summary

This quote suggests a critical perspective towards the Book of Revelation in the Bible. By referring to it as a "mushroom dream" and implying its place should be in the Apocrypha (non-canonical texts), the quote dismisses the credibility or importance of Revelation. Furthermore, it states that the New Testament primarily narrates the consequences of God embracing religion or exhibiting religious behavior. This perspective appears to challenge the authenticity and intentions behind the Revelation while positing a conception of God's religious conversion as a central theme in the New Testament.
