Comments on my comments – The whole AC/end-of-the-world thing continued…

In response to my post about Obama being the Anti-Christ, I received a comment, posted below, from Doughlasjk Stambler, in the which he called me a racist.  Well, maybe he didn’t call me an outright rasicst, but he said my comments were not ‘Christian-like’ and that they were ‘racially motivated’.

I have posted those comments and my comments to them below, and have also included comments from another reader of my blog.  All of these can be found on my ‘about‘ page.  They were posted there originally for some reason, so I brought them here since they’re interesting food for thought.  They may be silly and sensational, but they’re thought provoking and entertaining nevertheless.

There is one last thing I’d like to add to this post.  It’s a comment to a post made at a blog about the possibility of Obama being the Anti-Christ.  It was referenced yesterday on time.com and cnn.com and there have been a lot of comments and traffic driven there since.  One person had some very interesting things to say and I wanted to add them here as well.

Thank you from Europe for your good and interesting blog. May I add some of my thoughts on the subject?

I was brought up in Chirstian faith and know the book of Revelation and the varied interpretations of it concerning the Antichrist, though I have been an agnostic for many years. Indeed I did some intense research about the subject a few years ago when I was planning to write a sf short story, though I never thought the Antichrist could be real. I had problems to conclusively invent a person, beloved by all the different denominations on earth.

Obama fits everything.

When all this suddenly came to my mind some night I was really bewilderd and scared. When I heard and saw Obama on TV there was a feeling in my mind: “He reminds me of somebody, but I do not know of whom”. One night I woke up scared and knew: He has reminded me of the Antichrist.

Today I am no more sure whether the Antichrist exists or not. So I did Google search and found your blog, completely shocked that this idea (which I still considered my own craziness) ist shared by so many people.

To those who suggest, Bush being more evil and killing Iraqi children and the like … it is not (in the beginning!) about being evil but about being universally beloved, it is about a political leader who acts and is accepted like a cult leader or even a god. Bush (and other politicians) of course do have their voters and supporters, but they aren’t comparable to religious believers and either they are despised outside their own country or just not of any interest. All of this is different with Obama.

Additionally “Rome” is not mentioned in the Bible, people only thought it should be Rome because of the seven hills. But Honolulu is a city built on seven hills too. And it is in the middle of the Sea.

Obama fits everything so perfectly that I am absolutely sure it is not coincidence. Either he is the Antichrist or he performs to be the Antichrist for some reason.

Have you ever considered the second possibility?

He knows people think he is the Antichrist and he does not do anything to refute this notion, i.e. urging his followers not to hail him like a god. And McCain knows as well and jumps on the game as is proven by this ad. Maybe there is a web of deceit much larger than we can think.

Thank you again for your site.

A little clarification on this whole Anti-Christ deal

Alright, it’s getting pretty nutty with all the cross linking and political mumbo-jimbo going on and all the finger pointing and Obama being accused of being ‘The One’ or the ‘Anti-Christ’.  Even I said he’s the Anti-Christ spoken of in the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, but that doesn’t mean I’m right.

The truth is, as far as what I can gather and understand, is that it looks like the AC seen in vision by these prophets, represented figuratively by the beast/dragon characters with the seven heads, ten horns, the wounded head that was healed, rising up from the sea, etc., is probably not so much an individual political figure so much as maybe the primary political world leader of the time, or a political ideology or the primary group of political strategists in the last days who make war and lead the world into so much calamity.

This makes a lot more sense to me.  But what do I know?  I’m just a guy watching the world news and reading the bible, trying to put this puzzle together because I have Internet access and a curious mind.  I could be wrong.  The one thing I am sure of though, what is coming is coming, and no matter what the AC, the beast, the 666 or any of that literally means, it is all here in some form or another and we are all watching it unfold and partaking in it.

These are exciting times, and being prepared for ourselves, knowing who we are, being right with God and our families and being watchful of these events is the only way we will be able to be safe from them.

I was accused by a reader of being a racist because I called Obama the AC.  That’s just silly.  That’s why he will probably win the presidency, because of that sort of attitude.  Just because he is an obvious target, the race card is being played all over the place and it’s going to be a great distraction.  Obama is slick, much slicker than the Clintons ever dreamed of being.  He has the best slight of hand act in political history.  He can get you watching his right hand while his left hand is left unwatched to do anything he pleases.  He distracts us with promises of change, promises of unity, he plays the race card, he says he’s not like those who have come before him, he says he will bring long needed peace to the nations around the world of Africa, Asia, the Middle East, peace between Israel and Palestine, he uses all sorts of rhetoric to distract us while he is working his bag of tricks with his other hand.

Pay attention to this guy, he is one slick mofo.  McCain isn’t exactly the greatest second choice but at least McCain isn’t hell bent on selling out American sovereignty for political glory under the guise of being some kind of world Messiah, healing nations, building bridges and tearing down walls.

The American melting pot is spilling over into all of the nations of the world and Obama is mixing it all up together, trying to make peace and sense out of the chaos.  He actually believes he can accomplish this.  Mankind can not live this way, it will not work out for Obama, and that’s why I see this playing out as the bible has foretold.  The parallels are too great to be ignored.

Watch and learn, be prepared.  But above all, be happy, keep doing the good work.  Make your neighbors happy, try to cheer up those around you, lend a helping hand wherever you get the chance.  Just because people like me and nut-job conspiracy theorists obsess over these hypothetical, end-times scenarios doesn’t mean we have given up hope and are standing idly by, waiting for the Savior to swoop down and carry us home.  Those are the kool-aid drinkers, the comet chasers and the loons of the world who go off together claiming to know the day or the hour of the coming of the Lord.

This nothing more than like getting caught up in the Rubic’s Cube craze, or losing yourself in Soduku.  It’s just something I find interesting, it doesn’t mean I’m a complete nut-job fanatic who is going to run out and stock up on ammunition and hide away in a bunker.  I know life goes on, I have to work, I have to raise my family and there are still a lot of things I want to accomplish before all this insanity plays out in reality.

So, just to summaraize, I’m not nuts, I’m not going to go all survivalist, I have no idea what Anti-Christ even literally means, but I do think Obama is a megalomaniac who will do far more harm than good, and he’s a pretty good charachter to look to if you want some Apocolyptic type drama to follow in your spare time.

Barack Obama is the Antichrist

OK, I said it.  I’m going to stand back now and watch what happens.  After his speech in Germany today, his promises of bringing unity and peace to everything and everyone under the sun…this guy really is drunk with a vision of changing the world.  He believes he is some sort of Messiah character to the world.  And people all around the world are eating out of his hand.

I read in Newsweek Magazine this article – http://www.newsweek.com/id/145971

Here is the one statement that made me realize that Obama doesn’t have any idea what he believes and that he is flying by the seat of his pants with his head in the clouds and dreams of fame and historical glory:

The story of Obama’s religious journey is a uniquely American tale. It’s one of a seeker, an intellectually curious young man trying to cobble together a religious identity out of myriad influences. Always drawn to life’s Big Questions, Obama embarked on a spiritual quest in which he tried to reconcile his rational side with his yearning for transcendence. He found Christ—but that hasn’t stopped him from asking questions. “I’m on my own faith journey and I’m searching,” he says. “I leave open the possibility that I’m entirely wrong.”

A guy that is supposedly so smart, so bright, so intellectual, a man with such vision, with the audacity of hope, he leaves open the possibility that his belief in god is entirely wrong.  He is a political figure standing up to all that is before us in this new millenium, that he is going to be the one to bring about change, to bring unity and peace to the world, to stop nuclear proliferation, to bring peace to Darfur and settle wars around the world, and he doesn’t even know who his god is.

I bet he will be our next president.  Will he be the one to secure Israel?  Will he be the one who, after three and a half years, turns on Israel to fight against them, ushering in the Second Coming of Christ?

I’m going to get a big fat tub of popcorn, the most comfy barcalounger money can buy, turn on cable news and watch it all unfold.  This is gonna be good!
