Scott Stenwick posted some interesting research today about those lead codices that have been making the rounds. He also mentioned that there was one blogger who expressed fear that some dark Christian curse would be unleashed by breaking the seals on the book, bringing about the Eschaton seen in the Apocalypse of St. John, a.k.a. Revelations...
I was shocked, absolutely shocked.
People still believe in Revelations? Like, literally?
