The Dome of the Rock desolates the Temple Mount, but no one sacrifices in the Dome of the Rock. Sacrifice is necessary for the AoD.

"...why the disrespect for Revelation by pluralizing it and making it lower case?" Because "revelations" is a perfectly good English word, and I'll use it if I fucking want to, Ms. Buster. And isn't "Rev." an abbreviation for "Reverend"?
Sacrifice is necessary for the AoD? Well, if you mean Army of Darkness...
Mister Spak:
IIDayo -- That's a big Xian problem. Jesus/God being omniscient would have known of these problems from the beginning and so would not have said anything he would have to violate later. If things don't work out as the Bible supposedly says, then Jesus/God is a liar. It just hurts them little bitty Fundie brains.
Sacrifice is necessary for the AoD? Well, if you mean Army of Darkness...
Did you mean "Klaatu barada nikto!"?
Adrian, I'm sure that's the intended reference -- but the phrase comes, of course, from the movie The Day The Earth Stood Still (one of my all-time favorites -- kudos for knowing the correct phrase and spelling!), not Army of Darkness .
David D.G.: It's in Army of Darkness too, as an homage to The Day the Earth Stood Still, but in AoD, the main character can't remember it, thus the stammering quote.
If you can't spell abbreviate correctly just abbr. it. Oh wait, you'd even fuck that up.
I will never understand these people. They want to cause mass death and destruction to destroy a building because they think it will destroy the whole world in the process? (Meanwhile, the Muslims are killing in the name of their magic sky fairy at the same time! What a wonderful happy world, full of laughing and sunshine. I'm moving under a rock.)
First of all, the word you are thinking of is "desecrates" not "desolates." If the hill were desolated there would be no dome, or anything else, there.
Second, while the book is usually referred to as "Revelation," it really isn't all that special. It is actually only one example from a rather turgid literary genre of which we have several examples including the Revelation of Peter and The Shepherd of Hermas. The Revelation of John made it into the bible because 1) its relatively old and 2) it was written by someone who had the same name as an apostle.
Anything else I can teach you to help you look less foolish?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
