TechnographCOLUMN: Obamachrist Superstar
By Eric Naing
Posted: 11/3/06 Section: Opinions
Our own Barack Obama has such a promising future in American politics that Time Magazine has placed him on the fast track to the presidency.
But is he really the best person for the job? Some point to his lack of experience as a reason why Obama is not fit for the presidency. But many overlook another reason: his potential to bring about "the end of days" and destroy civilization as we know it.
The Antichrist is only mentioned a few fleeting times in the Bible. The only time Jesus actually discusses it is when he says, "Whoever is not with me is against me." Sound familiar? Yes, President Bush uttered practically these exact words shortly after Sept. 11, 2001. Furthermore, Bush has repeatedly stated that God tells him what to do and that "God speaks through me." So by transitive property, if President Bush is the modern incarnation of Jesus Christ and Senator Obama is a potential leader of the party that is opposed to Bush, then Obama must be "anti" Christ.
Further proof comes from always-reliable Wikipedia which states that "the Antichrist will be assassinated halfway through the Tribulation" only to be revived by Satan to carry on for three and a half more years. Considering that U.S. presidents serve two terms of four years, it would not be surprising if the "Tribulation" is Obama's presidency and that he is assassinated and revived at the start of his second term.
Intrepid LiveJournal user Kynn and the blog Unfogged have explored the darkest, most Christian corners of the Internet and discovered a terrible truth: Barack Obama is the Antichrist. According to various Web sites with UFO clip art in their background, the Antichrist is charismatic, politically gifted and from a foreign land, all of which sort of describe our junior senator.
One member of www.christian-forums.com notes, "When I first heard of Barak, a few days ago, the first thing I heard is that he is a guy who came out of nowhere and now many flock to his side. When my wife and I heard this, we both thought the same thing, the Antichrist." This is funny because I thought literally the exact same thing when I first heard of Ann Coulter.

"Obama's Christian credentials are practically unimpeachable"
Well I read this now and I say that isn't true at all. With the characters that were Obama's spiritual mentors, I wonder if Obama is Christian at all. (Continued…)

Obama fits the bill. I studied Revelation and end times theology in the 70's ans early 80's and have always been looking for any leader that has this much popularity, especially worldwide popularity. (Continued…)

This is ironic. I had pretty much forgotten about the antichrist I had read about 30 years ago, but there is something about Obama's trip that brings those memories into sharp focus. (Continued…)

Just to reiterate, Obama won, and now marijuana will be legal...We will give him 6 months to do so, after that point if it is still not legalized we will begin appropriate procedures. (Continued…)
