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.

I have seen many cases like N. during the five years I've been in practice. I sometimes picture these unfortunates as men and women being pecked to death by predatory birds. The birds are invisible - at least until a psychiatrist who is good, or lucky, or both, sprays them with his version of Luminol and shines the right light on them - but they are nevertheless very real. The wonder is that so many OCDs manage to live productive lives, just the same. They work, they eat (often not enough or too much, it's true), they go to movies, they make love to their girlfriends and boyfriends, their wives and husbands . . . and all the time those birds are there, clinging to them and pecking away little bits of flesh.
