I'm not saying that he is the "Anti-Christ" but a friend of mine told me this ridiculous statement so here it is. First off the Bible says that the the Anti-Christ will be some one "different" from the normal. Barack Obama i would say is the most "different" person to ever run for president and actually stand a chance. It also says that he will be a leader of 10 world nations that had previously been part of the roman empire. we are now in 2 and soon to be in 3. I know that this all sounds so ridiculous but some of it really does add up. According to the Mayans the world is supposed to end in the year 2012 witch just so happens to be the year that Barack Obama is in office just adding to the idea that he is the Anti-Christ. it says in one verse of the bible that he is supposed to be described as an Assyrian(a person from around the Iraq Syria area) and people have accused Barack as being a Muslim terrorist. Thew bible also states that the man coming will supposedly be a man of "peace" which i would say Barack has taken on quite well. He is supposed to be a great talker and speach give, and from what I've heard Barack writes all of his own speaches. "For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work;
only He who now restrains [the Holy Spirit]
will do so until He is taken out of the way.
And then the lawless one [Anti-christ] will be revealed,
whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth
and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
The coming of the lawless one [Anti-christ]
is according to the working of Satan,
with all power, signs [miracles], and lying wonders"
(II Th 2:7-9)
I think that it is great that we can live in a country that lets us say stuff like this. I'm not saying that this is all actually going to happen but we are supposed to be viewing the world critically and id say tat this is very critical.

I really thought this blog was interesting because it is true that a lot of people do think that Barack Obama is evil. Whether they think that he is a Muslim Terrorist or the Anti-Christ, all sorts of people have all sorts of views on his character and his intentions. It's just like the crazy woman at the McCain rally who said that Obama was an Arab, people will make up whatever they want when they don't know something for sure. People always fear what they don't know and since Barack Obama is such a new type of candidate I guess people will say or do whatever they feel is necessary to try and understand him. Even if that means slandering Obama.
Sheff,
I’m glad you take these things with a grain of salt. I think you’ll find that human beings suffer from what psychologists call “confirmation bias”: that is to say, our brains want to see patterns everywhere so badly that we accept the things/events that fit the pattern and discard/forget those details that don’t match the pattern.
Having said that, think how you could relate your posts more closely to class content or large themes of American culture. This post might actually fit our Perilous Times unit.
