He was entirely rational. He wanted to be powerful and his
use of religion gave him immense power (and wealth).

It's his followers who are irrational.

10. No "s" on Revelation.
It's the "Book of Revelation."

Just nit-picking. Forgive me, I'm pregnant and due within the next couple of weeks. I'm ornery.
