Although Strato's view of the universe can be seen as atheistic, he would probably have accepted the existence of lesser gods within the universe, and in the context of Greek religion it is unlikely that he would have regarded himself as an atheist.

Firstly there was the Aristotelian view that there simply was no void and that everything that exists objectively is in the category of substance.

An Aristotelian could take a position on the spectrum between the view that the non-existence of the void was just a brute fact ( like the non-existence of unicorns ) or it was a high principle of physics ( like conservation of energy ).

These included such arguments as that the view is void of good news ; repugnant to God's wise, just, and good nature, and to man's free nature ; " highly dishonorable to Jesus Christ "; " hurtful to the salvation of men "; and that it " inverts the order of the gospel of Jesus Christ " ( which is that we are justified after we believe, not prior to our believing ).

Many who side with this view disagree that Luke portrays Christianity or the Roman Empire as harmless and thus reject the apologetic view because “ Acts does not present Christians as politically harmless or law abiding for there are a large number of public controversies concerning Christianity, particularly featuring Paul .” For example, to support this view Cassidy references how Paul is accused of going against the Emperor because he is “ saying that there is another king named Jesus .” ( Acts 17: 7 ) Furthermore, there are multiple examples of Paul ’ s preaching causing uprisings in various cities ( Acts 14: 2 ; 14: 19 ; 16: 19-23 ; 17: 5 ; 17: 13-14 ; 19: 28-40 ; 21: 27 ).

The obscure and extravagant imagery has led to a wide variety of interpretations: historicist interpretations see in Revelation a broad view of history ; preterist interpretations treat Revelation as mostly referring to the events of the apostolic era ( 1st century ), or -- at the latest -- the fall of the Roman Empire ; futurists believe that Revelation describes future events ; and idealist or symbolic interpretations consider that Revelation does not refer to actual people or events, but is an allegory of the spiritual path and the ongoing struggle between good and evil.
