Doesn't make a whole lot of sense, though. Popular knowledge says that John of Patmos was out of his face on mushrooms when he wrote it.

Starts slow, builds up well, could end better. Book of Revelation is the best part by far.
No sequel as well, that's just lazy.

Stylistically incomparable though.

Aye, if you think of the Old + New Testament as Batman and Batman Returns, then the Koran is Batman Forever and Batman and Robin.
That's a fucking ridiculous comparison.

Maybe there's a comparison with the Terminator movies... Arnie's obviously God: all vengeful and visiting destruction all over the joint... but in the second one he's really the good guy. You've got your savior, and obviously skynet is the apple. Familial lineage is a big part of the story...
Tenuous but I bet there's websites out there devoted to it.

And the book of Mormon is like a made for TV spinoff series or some kind of fanfiction.

More like Shrek. In the first one the big guy doesn't let anything get in his way and makes a few friends in the process but by the end being a dad really calmed him down.
Genesis 3's a good yarn but John 3:16 is a good summation.

Yeah, annoying as Christian graffiti is, that one verse is all you really need outta the whole thing.
I guess that would be like a teaser trailer, etc
