Wondered when this shit would start...
Aug. 8th, 2008 01:37 pmYep... having READ the "Left Behind" books and having listened to the campaign ads, I've been wondering when this stuff would start.
Is Obama the Anti-Christ?
So I can't really say that I'm SURPRISED, but I can say that I'm ashamed. Because I probably have personally known people in my life who will buy into this.
And why shouldn't they? They bought into the Left Behind books, all of the rhetoric about Wiccans being Satan worshippers and Occultists being possessed by demons, and will follow charismatic preachers who are willing and able to twist the Bible into whatever picture fits their personal beliefs and fears.
And don't start acting self-righteous if you disagree with this nonsense, because even if you aren't a Jenkins/Lahaye follower, you can STILL find Bible verses that support the idea of Obama being the anti-Christ.
'Course, you can also find Bible verses that support the idea of Kennedy, Martin Luther King, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and a variety of other charismatic world figures being the anti-Christ.
And don't even get me started on the current president of France, whose name alone could qualify him for "evil villain" status by Revelation standards.
Yeees it's started. The "end of the world" craze that has surrounded every major political happening since The Holy Bible was canonized.
Behold, ladies and gentlemen... the beauty of superstition.
Love,
Crystal
