People who believe Obama is the Antichrist are not nuts

Todd Strandberg, ... editor and founder of RaptureReady.com, [tracks] current events and link them to biblical prophecy in hopes of maintaining his status as "the eBay of prophecy," the best source online for predictions and calculations concerning the end of the world.

...

Ever since Jesus Christ was crucified and, according to the Gospels, rose again in glory, his followers have been anticipating the end of history—the time when their Lord will return to earth and reign for a thousand years. The question has always been when ... Conservative Christians believe a great battle is imminent. After years of tribulation—natural disasters, other cataclysms (such as the collapse of financial markets)—God's armies will vanquish armies led by the Antichrist himself. He will be a sweet-talking world leader who gathers governments and economies under his command to further his own evil agenda. In this world view, "the spread of secular progressive ideas is a prelude to the enslavement of mankind," explains Richard Landes, former director of the Center for Millennial Studies at Boston University.

...

Mat Staver, dean of Liberty University's law school, says he does not believe Obama is the Antichrist, but he can see how others might. Obama's own use of religious rhetoric belies his liberal positions on abortion and traditional marriage, Staver says, positions that "religious conservatives believe will threaten their freedom." The people who believe Obama is the Antichrist are perhaps jumping to conclusions, but they're not nuts: "They are expressing a concern and a fear that is widely shared," Staver says.

...

Strandberg says Obama probably isn't the Antichrist, but he's watching the president-elect carefully. On his Web site, he has something called the Rapture Index, a calculation based on signs and prophecy of the proximity of the end. According to Strandberg, any number over 160 means "fasten your seat belts." Obama's win pushed the index to 161.

It's true, folks. Obama is for gay marriage, for abortion, then he's going to be for dog marriage, goat marriage, sheep marriage, etc. T

What will happen is Satan will send his demons here and Obama will end up being for demon marriage, which means people will make demon babies. Satan will have his ilk spread across the Earth and hell will come to us, thanks to Obama. Satan will then retire and make Obama the new Satan.

I was talking with my Sister, who is a devout Christian, when suddenly she was gone! I thought maybe the rapture had went down. "Kate, Kate are you there"? I screamed. Turns out the battery died on my cell.

If I had a dime for every time a person thought an apocalypse was imminent..

How many apocalypses has this planet had? How many theorized apocalypses has there been?

Also notice how this supposed Antichrist, cited in the article, is "progressive". It can't be a repressive Antichrist acting as a conservative Christian, right? Nah, that would be tricky. This Antichrist is rather dumb and naive, and can only trick the unenlightened progressives, who are likely not religious anyways.

Wow. If that's true, we may see Chimeras born to "mixed" marriages in the near future, as well.

Author infers that Obama is pushing abortion, not what I heard him say, it's prochoice and should be left between the woman and her doctor. Quite a difference. Question is, should the state execute women for having an abortion or provide other means of punishment.
