Hasn't anyone noticed that he is the actual embodiment of the 7 deadly sins?
I've pointed that out many times.
Anger, Envy, Vanity, Lust, Avarice, Gluttony, Sloth- he embodies them all.
Before breakfast
This pastor had some observations.....
I don't think that I've seen that one, and even as an atheist I was like "well... maybe???"
Yep. I'm a Baha'i, and our interpretation of The Antichrist isn't a person, the antichrist is whatever gets between ourselves and self improvement, and self education. Even with that definition, I was going.... "Ummm..... This is a bit 'on the nose'"
I remember that article. I'm not Christian - and so don't believe in an anti-Christ. However, if you told me that the anti-Christ was real and was alive today (and I had some iron-clad reason to believe you were telling the truth), Trump would be my first guess.
For real, though. I was raised Catholic, and a big part of the belief was that the devil would try to sway you away from God's teachings. That the devil would use trickery and temptation to lure people into evil, and would turn us against eachother. I was taught that it would even turn parents against their own children. (Sound familiar?)
Mind you, I was lucky in the sense that the community I grew up in actually followed the "love thy neighbor" stuff, so my experience is probably anecdotal.
It's at the point where I'm not sure any of them would believe Jesus if he ever hypothetically returned. They would probably just explain it away with conspiracy theories and blame someone else if they were ever questioned on it.
It's almost funny how many religious people seem to think saying a few prayers on the death bed will absolve all of their sins. A huge part of that forgiveness is repentance/regret for misdeeds. How do they think an all knowing God would somehow not see through their ruse? It just doesn't make sense to me.

The funny part to me, as a Baha'i, is that they did exactly that, when he did come back. The world ended. Look around. How many horse and oxen powered tools do you see? How many candles, lanterns, and torches? The old world got replaced by the one we live in now. Seriously, if you brought a human from 12,000-15,000 years ago at "the dawn of civilization" to the early 1800s, they'd still recognize parts of their world. Sure they'd be amazed at how much better everything was, and I'm sure that trains and steamboats would be straight up magic, but they'd recognize what a horse drawn carriage is, it's just fancier than anything they had, but they had horse and oxen drawn carts. If you try the same thing with someone from the early 1800s and brought them to today, they will recognize almost nothing.
American Christianity has long deviated from the teachings of Jesus.
