I am not. It's juest that you can't really expect me to go and read the entire bible for some references to the antichrist only to continue this discussion. All I want are references, wich you, as a bible reader, can easily dig up. This is only the way things go in a proper discussion. For example, in my paper I made about 70 references to scientific works of any kind, and later today I have to go and justify every single one of them.

I was raised a catholic, although I was never really an ardent believer. After reading some philosophical works (a summary of Schopenhauer and Nietsche on recommendation of a friend), when I was 14 - 15ish I saw my reasons for not feeling religious justified. I've been influenced by both, I think little religious people can claim the same thing.

"for your sources from me you might want to read the Bible yourself from hereonin, but for now I'll give you this one:"

No thanks, I'm not interested in reading several thousands of pages of indoctrinating ahistorical stories (although, it's well-written) to find a few references to an event that won't happen. I'd like some clear references instead please (in scientific papers articles and so on, you'd have to refer to pages wink )

"I also mentioned one of the criteria (in a different thread you closed down) that none of the previous evil world leaders have met.  Plus I stated that there were additional criteria to that one that they also didn't meet, including Barack Obama or John McCain.

The one I mentioned is that the anti-Christ will "not desire women".
That's what the Bible says about him.
Oh, and it also says the anti-Christ is a male.
Though it does NOT say he will desire men, so he may not be one who has sex with either, though it could maybe be indirectly implied that he will have sex with men but not women."

Specief sources please!

"The one I mentioned is that the anti-Christ will "not desire women"."

I thought Obama was married, so he must at least have desired 1 woman.

Look, I too think that most of the words we edit out here aren't that vulgar and editing them out is silly. But the rules are set and we have to respect them (there are people who do think those words are not appropriate). It's easy to get around them by using allowed synonimes. To conclude, there's no point in whining about an edit. You know the rules and give us the permission to do what we want with your posts if you don't respect them tongue

Honestly, I think things like these are of a serious concern. How on earth does this slip into politics? We have never had any politician being accused like that in ages (going back to the glorious 19th century when socialists were labeled "godless dogs" and "tools of satan"). This exactly show what Europeans are so stunned about. What on earth makes people believe this, or worse: what on earth does it take for a totally cuckoo theory like this to get any support from a group?

ill informed then!
According to wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antichrist#Biblical_references

"working all kinds of counterfeit miracles and signs"

He's not the antichrist, not until he at least pulled a bunny out of a top hat!

"But it appears to me that you don't fully practice her philosophy."

Au contraire, it's my duty to make certain everyone can express his stupidity with a certain ease. 5 topics on the same isn't stupidity, that's just plain annoying. As I said, I'm waiting for my colleague to address the issue, making another thread won't change the situation and will only get you blocked tongue

Don't annoy me lad. I've been up for 15 hours and it's only 6 pm. I had an exam and the stress with it, so I think I have an excuse for typos.

Come up with some counterarguments wich you promised me, rather than stretching this whole topic to the brink of sillyness tongue

"none of those people you mentioned met ALL the criteria of the anti-Christ."

How's that? You say: "you'll notice that the anti-Christ (who is described as a political leader controlling the military too) is helped by someone called "the" false prophet."

All of those were Kings (political leaders!) and they directed their armies themselves (controlling the military!), and all helped by the pope. How does that not fit your criteria?

EDIT: I edited the beginning of my previous post btw

"I see those of you who posted in here so far (mod Alan, Gladiator, and Matrix) did NOT read to the bottom of my first post in here..."

I did read it, but I just don't see any reason why I should believe a 2000 year old book over common sense.. (Yet you claim to be more logical than me. How does that work?)

"I suggest you do so before you go on the attack against me.
Oh and Matrix, no pope will be the Anti-Christ.
But if you read the book of Revelation (last book of the Bible), you'll notice that the anti-Christ (who is described as a political leader controlling the military too) is helped by someone called "the" false prophet.
That one might be a pope."

Hmmmmm.. So the Anti-christ is a politician, and helped by the "false prophet" wich might be the pope?

Just naming people I could come up with that fit the desription: Hitler (Russians, semites, homosexuals etc.), Mussolini (opposers of the regime, somalians), Philip IV of France (knights templar), Philip II of Spain (protestants), every crusader-leader (inhabitants of the Levan area), Charlemagne (Germanic and slavic groups), Charles Martel (muslims, several Germanic groups), Pepin the Short (several Germanic groups), Charles V (protestants, muslims), Louis XIV (protestants), King Sigismund of Bohemia (Hussites), Vlad The Impaler (on who Dracula is based; Muslims), the Duke of Alva (protestants, revolutinaries) and many many more.

All of these ordered massacres that were so bad that cities evacuated to escape the stench of rotting flesh. The victims are in the brackets. If your description of the antichrist would be exact, the world would have ended a thousand times by now..

On a sidenote: highly educated professors with years of experience an knowledge hardly have a clue what revelations is about. I doubt some random youtube videos by some religious dunderhead (and my god, america has a lot of those) offer a better explanation.
To the people who do believe it: wait for your youngest day in the "queue of destruction"! You're after Nostradamus believers and before the Mayans' believers!
