Where did I say the anti-Christ statement was racist? I just said it was plain and simply offensive, which I stand by. I have not read the bible, nor do I need to for this situation. We live in a mostly Christian nation, so regardless of my religious beliefs, I am subjected to hearing a lot of talk on the subject. I understand the ideology of Christianity, and am not criticizing the bible. I also don't need great detail to understand the meaning of what "Anti-Christ" means.
I think it is overly paranoid to consider Obama some sort of evil power dictated by the forces of Satan, or what ever role the Anti-Christ should take.
To Mike171, I'm not saying Obama does the best job at helping everybody, and I understand his presidency has left some out of the loop. I am not agreeing with this aspect of him, and wholeheartedly respect your right to speak about the conditions which affect you. But when people talk about his assassination so loosely, and try to demonize him, I find it untrue and a bit ridiculous. He has a loving wife and two loving children, and we elected him, he wasn't ordained by Satan (or whatever some may think.. not you, I understand where you personally are coming from). So to insinuate he should be dealt with violently because of a few overly paranoid individuals (definitely not you, just saying), you are also robbing his daughters of a father, wife of a husband, and this country of a good man.
Nobody has to agree that he is doing the best job, or even a good job. But when the discussion turns into a debate of him being some hidden, evil, manipulative dictator, I just find no relevance. Obama seems like the type of person that some of you would befriend if he wasn't president, he seems honest, well intentioned, and he speaks very well in discussions.
