Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Friday, September 25, 2009

In a recent poll, 8 percent of respondents in New Jersey admitted to thinking that Barack Obama is the antichrist. As in, they think the president is the Beast of Revelation, he whose coming portends the rapture, the battle of Armageddon, and the end of the world as we know it. Thirteen percent weren't sure. With a hat tip to the citizens of New Jersey, Roland Emmerich and the ancient Mayans, Salon presents this honor roll of doomsday panics and false messiahs -- a whole lot of past predictions that didn't pan out, and a few more current revelations that are looking iffy.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, well, you won't fool me twice...

I actually know some people who tell me that it's common knowledge among the people they go to church with, even the pastor, that Obama is the antichrist.

Early America: Dumping ground for Europe's religiously-inclined misanthropes.

This is actually not that bad, when you put it in context.

17% think the world will end in their lifetime, when you have a population that is about 25% retarded but functional.

This equals 8% who are retarded and still are not ignorant enough to believe in fairy tales.

christians are NOT to consider such things - there is the study of types and shadows which WOULD put this potus as a frontrunner in the charismatic category, but he's only a warning of what is to come - yes, i do believe the a.c. is alive and waiting in the wings somewhere, but i don't want to know who he is.

read "the crazy world of benny hinn" to get a good grasp on what makes people drawn to these loons - yes, this potus is a loon.

obama IS A TYPE OR SHADOW of the a.c. it would be clear to any student of prophecy, but so was hitler and others.

8 percent

Sounds like a serious issue.

nanc what the fuck are you talking about.

Nanc, you are bat-shit crazy. I hope you don't have custody of your spawn, for their sake.

NoGov4Me - everyone has anecdotal evidence. I know dozens of atheists who hate America and want to blow up federal buildings.

That was easy.

"""yes, i do believe the a.c. is alive and waiting in the wings somewhere, but i don't want to know who he is."""

With the anti-chistian hate that you spew you should ask yourself if YOU are not channeling the big red guy.

Wasn't there a poster here who swore up and down that Jesus Told Him Bush would be Getting a New Pony to Ride in the apocalypse before the end of his Reign of Terror?

Was it takitz?

it would be clear to any student of prophecy

hahahahaha

The "study" of prophecy is about as reputable as the study of... well shit, I can't think of something more disreputable and thoroughly ridiculous as that. Congrats, holy-rollers. You have reached new heights of stupidity.

Have you bible-thumpers ever tried scatomancy? What are your turds trying to tell you?

Reichwing death cults. Great.

didn't they all think hillary was the antichrist, too?
(yawn)

There's a guy down the street from me who's kind of annoying. Talks to himself, doesn't mow often enough. He's always plugging things in to electrical outlets. You know, AC. He uses an air conditioner - that's right, AC.

Coincidence? Yeah, if you're Satan.

Pretty obvious he's the Anti-Christ.

" yes, this poster is a loon.

Nanc - you truly believe in this crud and you call HIM a loon????????? Woman, you're really are lost. I bet your story would make an interesting book. Where exactly did it all go wrong?

We survived the original anti-christ back in the 1980's. Ronald Wilson Reagan - 6 letters in each of his names - had those claims thrown at him. They were assinine back then, they are assinine today.

I think the people who dwell on these kinds of matters should not have to look outside of their own churches. That's from where I think the real anti-christ will emerge!

They said the same thing about Bush, only he had a track record of evil doing.

Just wait until Dec 21, 2012 .......

Just wait until Dec 21, 2012 .......

There are going to be a lot of shrooming people disappointed when Quetzalcoatl doesn't show.

First off, obama is a fucking useless moron, without any original thought, he steps and fetches for george soros the insane billionaire.
The antichrist will rise out of the E.U., chances are very good that he will cut his teeth and come to power in Belgium, but will be of Spanish descent. Before he makes the scene there are events that will have to come to pass, first of all, the destruction of the world economy. Hapless leaders put into office, the U.S.A. now has it's own assclown, obama has no interest in saving America's economy or jobs, there will begin famines across the globe, that has started, and with the brain dead quest for ethanol, food supplies are starting to dwindle, the lack of love between men and women, men will be in love with themselves ( already sounds like cali., n.y. washington d.c.'s girlie boys ), men will hate the truth, good will be bad, bad will be good ( Jesus Christ ), leaders will promise hope and change, it will lead to civil wars, globalization of industry will lead to no soveriegn countries, the money brokers will have the power to destroy whichever conyries do not fall in line ( george soros ), disease will run rampant as millions of people die from hunger, thirst and wars. Through this inevitable destruction and war, the Jews will realize that Jesus Christ is God and they will recognize Him as their Messiah, calling to him to bring the end of the miseries on Earth.

Wow. Just wow.
Properly chosen screen name though, nut.

We'll see who's laughing when Xenu gets out on space-parole.

The world has to end somehow...

Thank you, infantryman.

I'm a Christian, but not the apocalyptic, end-times type. I don't know if I'm not well-read enough in the Bible, but I never understood the association between the end of the world and globalization. I'm not trying to play devil's advocate or anything -- I really, truly do not know what the Biblical connection is. I'm at the point where I'm pretty sure there is no Biblical connection, and fear-mongers use that idea to sell books and get people into megachurches.

Besides that fact, I always think about Jesus saying that nobody will know the time or the day, etc., of the end of the world. With that in mind, these 2012 things don't bother me that much, and neither do people claiming Obama or the EU or Israel is the harbinger of doom. If we trust the Bible, NOBODY will have an inkling that the end is coming, so there's really no need to worry about it. It'll happen when it happens, and that's that.

Sorry to piss on your parade dylan, but israel will kick off the festivities.


I wonder why the loons are in favor of Jeebus having 'death-panels', where he only takes his 'chosen' people, yet they seem to hate the idea of Death Panels when they're on ClusterFOX News.

Honestly, I think that if "the end" does start in Israel with the rebuilding of the temple (which is the only conceivable importance I could see in the establishment of the nation of Israel in terms of end times theology), it won't be God who begins the end, but end-times extremists who start going ape shit preparing for the Rapture.

... but end-times extremists who start going ape shit preparing for the Rapture.

Indeed. It's called the "Pygmalion" or "Rosenthal" effect. (self fulfilling prophesies)

"Wasn't there a poster here who swore up and down that Jesus Told Him Bush would be Getting a New Pony to Ride in the apocalypse before the end of his Reign of Terror?"

Red, What's With All Of The Intermittent CAPS????

Just curious........

yes, this potus is a loon.

no NANC I am so sorry to have to point this out (again). Look in the mirror to see the LOON.

Obama is an awesome politician and organizer and now your President who got YOUR goat. WE won ... you lost. So sorry. Next election is in 4 years. Get to work and quit your proselytizing.

The Bible NEVER mentions "antichrist" in Revelation. Here are the only mentions:
(Please note that there are MANY antichrists and have been for thousands of years from these verses):

1John 2:18-19 (2x)
18 Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. 19 They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.

1John 2:22
22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

1John 4:2-3
2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world.

2John 1:7
7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist.

*One of the most deceptive things I've seen is a recent "Jesus gives the name of the antichrist" youtube video.
It is VERY DECEPTIVE!

Have you seen it?
It makes several deceptive translations from English to Greek to Aramaic to Hebrew and then back to say "baw-rawk bamaw" is "lightning" falling from "the heights" referring to Satan.

It's horsecrap and my fellow Bible believing Christians need to shut THE HELL up about it.

One of the heroes of the Bible in Hebrews 11:31 is "Barak."

There are plenty of reasons a Christian can principly oppose President Obama and his policies, but if Hitler, Stalin and Nero didn't get Jesus off His throne to return, President Obama NEVER will it seems.

Donnerboy,
You're right about us not whining and waiting for the next election.

But if you want us to stop proselytizing--make us.

22 Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.

So, Spud is now the anti-Christ cos he's an athiest?

* makes mental note to add "Anti-Christ" to resume and business card *

Hold on...

Technically that means all athiests and all people of other religions are ALL anti-Christs?

* no longer feels special *

Dang.

Be Well.

My favorite Bushism!

Apropos of nothing...

Fer some odd reason ever since reading the headline of this story Spud's been quietly humming "Miss Otis Regrets", the ole Cole Porter tune.

The Mind is an odd place.

Yes, wildly off-topic.

Sorry bout that.

Be Well.

/K that's enuff swimming up the stream of conciousness fer now, exiting the DRagon, the zaniest place on earth, as ya do
stage left.

Dethspud,

You're AT LEAST learning the "traditional" interpreation of "antichrist" is wrong...

Obama and the ACLU are like unto antichrist what John the Baptist was to Jesus Christ --- preparing the way.

Obama has high praise for Islam and shunned the National Day of Prayer. A little clue.

Where in the Bible does it say that Islam has anything to do with the end of the world? Or the ACLU for that matter. It's this type of hyperbolic end-times prophesying that gives Christians a bad name with others.

Kirk -- nice post #37.
