"In an interview several years ago for Relevant Magazine, Mark Driscoll (well known pastor
of Mars Hill in Seattle) said,

“In Revelation, Jesus is a prize-fighter with a tattoo down His leg, a sword in His hand and the commitment to make someone bleed. That is the guy I can worship. I cannot worship the hippie, diaper, halo Christ because I cannot worship a guy I can beat up.” (You can find the original interview here). 

I frankly have trouble understanding how a follower of Jesus could find himself unable to worship a guy he could “beat up” when he already crucified him"

The like above is an interesting blog by author and friend, Greg Boyd. Greg is currently writing a book on nonviolent interpretations of Old Testament literature. He tackles the idea of whether we can interpret the book of Revelation in on violent way. He suggests that it is not only possible, but necessary.

This blog from Greg is well worth reading. Clip the link to read the rest of Greg's thoughts.  Let me know what you think.
