People Are Stupid, Part 2: Obama the Antichrist

There are times when I am frankly amazed at how stupid some people can be, and this is especially the case when one mixes fundamentalist and literalistic Christianity with politics.  It seems that we now have a new candidate for the position of Antichrist, and his name is Obama.

I don’t remember how I stumbled upon this tidbit of information, but once I did, I was amazed at how much stupidity I could uncover with a short Google search. (Btw, I provide no links to the sites I mention below since I do not want to drive any traffic to them . . . the sole exception to this is the youtube video a the very end).

Here are the "headlines" from one blog that focuses solely upon the "Obama is the Antichrist" motif:

Could Presidential Candidate
Barack Hussein Obama be the "Anti-Christ?"
This site deals with Biblical Prophecy and some of the "Anti-Christ" characteristics of Barack Hussein Obama.
If Barack is not the "Anti-Christ" he is an excellent candidate to hand over control of the U.S. to the Anti-Christ!

This particular blog then goes on to make these "salient" points:

Is Obama the Anti-Christ?
1 - He will come as a man of Peace (Obama promises peace in Iraq, defeat for the US)
2 - He will come mounted on a white Female horse (Obama’s mother is white who had 6 African husbands)
3 - He will come to deceive (Obama says he’s a Christian but in fact he was raised in a Muslim culture.
4 - He will make himself the most powerful man on earth, if elected.
5 - He will try to destroy the Jewish People and Israel (Obama has said he loves the Arabs specially the Palestinians, hates Israel and Jews. admires Hitler, Osama etc)
6 - He will present himself as good and righteous but in fact he’s Satan himself. Violence is in his heart
7 - Obama could help Al Qaida in its evil projects.
8 - Barack Hussein Obama is the "King of the South" predicted in the Bible. (Daniel 11, Kenya is south of Jerusalem)
9 - Obama comes to implant Muslim Sharia Law upon America.
10 - Obama is trying to pull religions together like a one world religion deal!

I particularly item number 2 above.  And as if all of the above wasn’t enough, this site has a lovely poster of Obama meant to drive it’s point home. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, right?

I also discovered that there is also an email making the rounds that says, among other things:

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??

Is is OBAMA?  Kinda reminds of Dana Carvey’s "Church Lady" skits from SNL . . . Could it be SATAN?  If you don’t remember them, check out the video below for a reminder.  But before you do, let me add that having read and studied Revelation numerous times myself, I know of no reference whatsoever within it that would make someone believe the Antichrist will be in his 40s and also be a Muslim.  Good Lord, where do people come up with this stuff?

On another "Obama is the Antichrist" blog, we find this comment left by one of the readers:

I do not follow the president race, I never have. I am, however, a Christian. I was flipping through the channels on my TV, when I came across one of the debates of Ms. Clinton and Mr Obama. For some strange reason, I started to listen. I had been listening for maybe 5 minutes, when the most horrible feeling came across me. At the time I really couldn’t put a finger on why I was feeling this way. After a few minutes more I understood what the problem was. I believe Mr. Obama is the anti-christ. I know people will think I am a complete nut, for thinking this. I dicided to get on the computer and find out all I could about Mr. Obama. That is when I saw the others who believe like I do. I hate to say anything negitive about a person. I have always been taught there is good in all people, and I have always lived my life in looking for that good. No matter how much I try to find good in Mr. Obama, I can’t shake the feeling that he is something really bad. It scares me more then words can express to know what I believe this man is capiable of. I have prayed about this many hours since I have thought this horrible thought. After many hours of prayers, I believe that if Mr. Obama is the antichrist, there is really nothing anyone can do about this. As a Christian, I believe this is God’s plan for the world, as He states in Revelatons. I do pray for all the lost souls who will follow this man into the pits of hell. I pray that the Lord will open there eyes to see the deception in Mr. Obama. More then anything, if Mr. Obama isn’t the antichrist, then Lord please forgive me for falsly accusing my fellow man of this.

And then there are comments on other blogs, including these gems:

“It just so happens that Obama is the anti-christ. I believe so and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with any logic I have employed or any racist attitudes that I may have. Fact is, this man is the antichrist. It was weird how it was revealed to me …”

“…and here it is a year before elections and people already are set on him for president. Has that ever happen to a president before? NO…

“isn’t it said that the antichrist will die and then come back? well, isn’t his middle name hussein???”

And then there is the blog that combines the "Obama is the Antichrist" crap with blatant racism that would make any KKK member proud.  One headline there reads:

THE GREAT SATAN CELEBRATES HIS SON BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ANTICHRIST FOR AMERICA

And if that isn’t enough for you, it adds:

BE AFRAID AMERICA FOR SATAN’S CHILD IS NOW AMONGST US AS A BLACK/WHITE MAN!
Since the redemption of Adam/Israel by the life, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the indwelling of the Spirit in the White race has been accomplished. However, what if there were no White people left on earth in which God’s Spirit could dwell? God would have no place to dwell. It is quite conceivable then, for the enemies of God, the jews, to destroy the ability of our race to propagate and the surest way to do that, short of killing us outright, is to mix our racial stock producing what the Bible calls ‘bastards’ or mongrels (Deut. 23:2). The end product is a mixed breed empty of an undefiled body tainted with hybrid genetics, void of a Spirit/temple in which God can dwell. This breed of jews, as well as all other mixed breeds, have violated God’s biological Creation of ‘kind after kind’ and therefore cannot worship the God/Creator of pure undefiled races. They have defiled God’s original intent and sponsor the proliferation of more ungodly defiance.

You know, I had to think long and hard about even posting such a vile paragraph here.  I decided to because I think it is important to know that there are people out there who actually believe in this $&#*%1.  I realize that this is hard to swallow, but it is a fact that this world is filled with stupid and hate-filled people who think nothing about writing the words you read above.  Further, there are even people out there who put their crap to music and video and post it on youtube, a sample of which is seen below.

Having gone through all this garbage, let me ask a simple question:

"How stupid do people have to be to believe this crap?"
