Lefties hardly ever use the word anymore, its pretty much antiquated, belongs in the era of Wobblies and Pinkertons. Or Norman Thomas, academics in thread bare sports coats with leather patched sleeves. Its quaint.
Or socialists, who grew up with left of centre parties with balls.
And if he did and we seen it with our own eyes I’ll betcha all these lib’ruls will still swear it was a 999 right up to the point where his mulatto zombies he made from aborted stem cells are shovin’ 'em into the ovens!
I’d love to see Obama sing a duet with himself ala Donnie & Marie:
“I’m mostly closet Muslim!”/“I’m a little bit anti-Christ!”
So when do we all start screaming about the War On Anti-Christmas?
You take back whatever you gave at Christmas.
One of the most irksome things to me about Fundies is that so many so clearly DO NOT EVEN FUCKING READ THE FLIPPIN’ BIBLE!!!
In the first place the antichrist isn’t even consistently portrayed and it’s actually not at all clear it’s a reference to a single person and at times it is clearly referring to multiple men. In the second place it’s very clear they were talking about somebody who would come during the time in which they were writing (he will stop the animal sacrifices in the temple in Jerusalem, for example, or he will be a king at war with other kings [and the ancient Jews knew the difference between a king and a leader).
These are some of the ‘things to watch out for’ about the anti-Christ taken from a fundamentalist website. I’ve taken out some things that could be applied to Obama (“he will be worshipped by many”- as were Elvis, the Beatles and Paganini) or “he will quote scripture” which could be applied to anybody who’s ever said a public prayer or cited the Bible. I’ve taken out the obscure and weird, such as the famous
because there’s probably not a name out there you couldn’t get some strained connection to 666 from (either by the number of letters minus the vowels or using the original spelling of his great-great-grandfather’s surname or translating the name into Korean through Greek and then back again using the numerical values of the letters you’d find in a particular cartouche of his name compiled by deaf priests of Marduk or whatever).
These are some of the remaining “prophecies”:
Using these, the antichrist would appear far more likely to apply to Roy Horn from Siegfriend & Roy fame than Obama. He’s been witnessed by millions performing “miracles” and magic, he survived a seemingly fatal injury, he has evidenced no desire for women, he was born in Nazi, Germany which was at war with multiple kingdoms, he signed a “covenant” with a huge and sinful entity (mafia owned casinoes in— a desert!), he won’t allow sacrifice in Jerusalem (not that he’s tried to stop it per se but I guarantee you if the Jews tried to sacrifice a white tiger he’d be all over them) and the list goes on…
Huh, I coulda sworn the Bible explicitly said the AntiChrist would revert high-income tax brackets to Clinton-era level and prevent Health Insurance Companies from having lifetime caps. I guess it’s been a while since Sunday School.
This is an excellent point.
The price is certainly right!

OK, we have the scenario from a Hadron Collider discussion here in which it actually causes the Rapture & puts us in the parallel Tribulation universe. Now we finally have an AntiChrist for the novel! Thanks!
I do imagine most people who answer the antichrist question are probably responding to the derogatory term rather than the biblical term. It’s not very well worded, because it doesn’t sound like a factual question. I doubt anywhere near that percentage believe he is literally the antichrist. For example I imagine the same people would also answer yes to the question “do you think Obama is a motherfucker”, without necessarily giving much thought to his relationship with his mom.
One of the most irksome things to me is that the “Anti-Christ” is just a character in a book. The question may as well have been, “Do you believe Barack Obama is really Jonathan Livingston Seagull?”
Analysis fail. “Flying jetliners into buildings” is the important part.
As is the Christ.
Well, he can fly.
The thing is, he’s not even that. The “Antichrist” figure, as popularly conceived, is not even in the Bible, but is an inferred construct created from a pastiche of unrelated passages from unrelated books.
Why, the hats, of course.
No no no. Skin color is the infallible indicator of good and evil.
That’s exactly so. None of the Republicans I know admit to being Republicans. (And that’s in Georgia!) These days, they all say “I’m not a Republican. I’m a conservative!”
