Who is the next antichrist?

[misterx]

I was curious, so I asked google. I typed the phrase, with quotes: "is the next antichrist" ... then looked at the results to see who was being discussed.

Here is the tally (only 3 pages of results):

              
Barack Obama       |||||||||  
Hannah Montana     |
movie character    |||
neighbor           |
Rudy Guliani       ||
unknown/ambiguous  |||
Raffi              |
Bill Gates         |
dog fighters       |
McDonald's         |

I am really embarrassed by my fellow humans sometimes.

Note: this was brought on my an email forwarded to me by one of my clients, which said, in part:

According to The Book of Revelations the anti-christ is:

The anti-christ will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuasive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal....the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything. Is it OBAMA??

I STRONGLY URGE each one of you to repost this as many times as you can! Each opportunity that you have to send it to a friend or media outlet...do it!

If you think I am crazy..Im sorry but I refuse to take a chance on the "unknown" candidate

Ew. Scarey.

And I find the list one can choose from a bit skewed and, well, stupid/useless. Hannah Montana? WTF?

Now, I've read Revelation a couple of times (I like to imagine it as a big hollywood action movie) and I don't remember anything about a muslim in the book. Especially since Islam hadn't even come on the scene when the book of revelation was written.

How unprofessional. It really galls me when people send shit like this from work/to business associates. I got an email from the owner of our neighborhood association management company about how we can bring down the price of gas if we boycott the "big oil" companies -- it was copied to (so it appeared) everyone in his address book, with all email addresses visible. Moron.

Just to piss everyone off further, I replied to everyone with the snopes link why a "big oil boycott" won't work. Heh! (Yes, I know that makes me an annoying idiot, too. I was in that kind of mood that day.)

Isn't this what all politicians do? Hhhmm, take your pick.

No, Bush is the Antichrist. I'm wearing a T-shirt that says so -- how could anyone argue with that?

It's a cartoon by Scott Bateman, and it shows Satan (who looks a lot like Cheney) smiling and announcing "Bush? Best. Antichrist. EVER." I simply can't disagree with such evidence.

I'm a delegate for Obama all the way up to State, and am going to try for National, since it's here in town.

Oh. Far out. :( That's really saddening.

Sometimes I get really 'up' (happy) about humanity, people can be so amazing & beautiful.. but I always get brought back down to earth again when I realise how many people in the world are like that (for whatever socio-economic/religious/'insert other' reasons).. *sigh*
