by definition, the Anti-Christ would have to be a Christian, right?

[Sperk]

Not Anti-Budda, Anti-Allah,etc. I don't think doing evil, in and of itself would cut it....it would have to be done in Christ's name, wouldn't ya think?
All I can say is...GWB is exactly what an Anti-Christ would look like. Causing death and distruction while his followers praise Jesus.

1. I think so.

That's what I've been trying to tell a couple relatives who are quite dumb and quite religious and are both voting for Bush because he says he's doing everything in God's name. Ugh, how can people be so damn stupid???

2. "he will come like a thief in the night".....revelations

and yes, the classic antichrist figure is supposed to fool all his followers into believing him to be the messiah, when he is actually the beast. they put so much stock in the bible and revelations, but ignore the main warning, that he will be thought to be good, but is the opposite of everything christ stood for. anti christ.

7. "he will come like a thief in the night".

Refers to the second coming of Christ as King.

3. long time rumour

is that the Pope asked for detailed research on the Anti-Christ, as he was concerned that Bush might just be he...

[BiggJawn]

4. Yes, I think that is a fair statement..

The Anti-Christ as an Atheist? No, I don't think so, for the same reason I don't "Worship Satan". I don't believe in "God", why would I believe in his twin brother?

The Anti-Christ belongs to the Christian religion. They're more than welcome to him.

I think Bush and his followers (puppet-masters?) think they're going to speed this Armageddon "thing" along a little. They're deluded.

5. The Antichrist will fool people....

into believing that HE is Christ. Even the Jewish people will believe he is the Messiah. He will be the one to finally bring peace to the Middle East,but it will only last for a short time. Everyone will think he is such a great man and will follow his every move. He will be the perfect example of a wolf in sheeps clothing.

15. Hi ScaRBama!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[ScaRBama]

16. THX newyawker...

I really love this place. There are a lot of wise people that drop in at DU and speak their minds.

[Andy_Stephenson]

6. The Anti Christ will actually be

a Jew...Because to be accepted by the Jews as Messiah...he must be Jewish.

8. The watered down, perverted Christianity that holds sway is the force

that is the Antichrist.

The deeper, meaningful message is lost in the sentimental rationalizations of self-righteous fools.

THAT is the Antichrist.

[Beam Me Up]

9. Yep. Personification of a mass delusion.

:thumbsup:

[indigobusiness]

10. You've got it.

It is so crushingly sad.

[Mr_Spock]

17. I agree - this perversion of Christianity IS the Anti-Christ and we are

already suffering from this evil presence in our society. There Christioperverts must be stopped from destroying the world.

[screembloodymurder]

11. The great deceiver.

Every word out of his mouth is a lie.

[ScaRBama]

12. He will mix lies with the truth....

just like his father Satan. This is what will always work on the masses. You say some things that sound so good and ring true in the hearts of people that they will overlook his true character. If you look at Hitler he did the same thing.

[Robbie67]

13. yes n/t

[UpsideDownFlag]

14. bush can't be the antichrist. the antichrist would, it seems, win a 2nd

term.
