What I don't get about the "Obama is the Anti-Christ" meme.
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 06:58 PM by SoonerPride
Maybe it's because I'm an atheist or maybe it's because I'm not a friggin moran (at least I like to think not), but help me with one thing regarding the whole 'Obama is the Anti-Christ:"

Wouldn't that be a reason to vote FOR Obama for those inclined to believe such tripe?

Don't they want to hasten "Judgment Day" and come that much closer to their magical floating up to meet Jebus?

Isn't that the whole point of those Left Behind books and wet dream phantasms of the ultra whacked religious right?

"In case of the Rapture this vehicle will be unoccupied" Has anyone else seen that bumper sticker?

So if Obama WAS indeed the Anti-Christ, wouldn't they all vote for him en masse to fulfill their kooky prophecy?

Besides, if he was the Prince of Darkness, who knew he could be stopped a simple up or down vote?

Don't like Satan, just vote him out of office?

1. Well, for any of those nut jobs that believe in the rapture...
the anti-christ has certain attributes about him that doesn't fit Obama at all.

2. And all the while Israel attacks Iran thereby starting Armagedon
or something, Obama the anti-Christ wins and they all go to heaven... or something.

Don't expect anything to make any sense with these people.

3. But won't they all vote for Obama then?
Don't they want to meet Jebus?

4. No, they want the anti christ to b defeated. They also think of themselves as the elite (spiritually...
so they expect the masses to empower the anti christ while the chosen few fight against him.

That way God will love them.

5. What's not to get? Throw as much at the wall as you can and hope two or
three things stick. The (R)'s don't care what sticks -- just that something does.

7. They see the coming of the Anti-Christ as a sign that the end is near.
They are not supposed to follow him but they are supposed to recognize him. They want him to win but they do not want to be involved with that win. They are a bunch of idiots, ignore them.

12. As a Christian I agree with you. They are self-centered to the max
which in my way of thinking means they worship themselves - anti-christs.

9. Anyone who disagrees with these fucktards in a position of power
is the anti-christ. They pick a new one every year or so. Normally its the pope.

That is, if one has actually read revelations.
