This subject gets a lot of laughs from people that have no experiential reference to it, or have no knowledge of specific info regarding the subject, but doesn’t (get laughs) from those that do.

You do realize that the commonly-held scenario proposes that “world peance” will be the AntiChrist’s ruse to take control, don’t ya?

If I were the Antichrist, I’d annex the Sudetenland.

Then I’d open a chain of tattoo shops. I’d tattoo out danger. I’d tattoo out a warning. I’d tattoo out 666love between my brothers and my sisters, aaaaaall over this land.

I’d promote the teaching of Intelligent Design in public schools.

I’d work to outlaw abortion. Hey, I need all the unwanted children I can get!

I’d get a doctorate from a degree mill, so that I could go on right-wing TV/radio and claim to be Dr. Antichrist, and then people would blindly accept my claims because I am a doctor.

I’d probably never leave my apartment. I could watch myself wreathed in fire all day long. That would be awesome.

If I were The Antichrist[sup]tm[/sup], I would play the Word of God against peoples’ insecurities and rally them to deny health, liberty and the pursuit of happiness to those outside their concept of the mainstream.

Oh wait, that’s been done…

Assuming you mean “peace”. . .no, I didn’t realize that. Hmmm. So, Peter, Paul, and Mary are the Antichrist?😉
