Any takers?

The problem is people are looking for "the" antichrist, but the Bible references state "an" antichrist. It's no one, but many. I certainly don't claim to know who they are, but do believe pride is an identifying charactistic.
Either him or his gay son, Jonathan.
I would think that the anti-Christ would have a modicum of charisma--the sort of pathological, but outwardly pleasing personality that lends itself to worshipful followers. All Soros has is big bucks.
On the other hand, the Move On folks are pretty cultish and dogmatic in their ideology. Hmmmm...
I bet it translates to "I hate John Wayne" or something.
There is no one on the scene like that as of yet.
Okay, here's the dossier, if this man is right:
- An unidentified MALE:
- A prominent philanthropist;
- A Leftist activist who's into human rights, the environment and ecumenicism;
- a "fascinating personality";
- a vegetarian;
- an environmentalist, or at least a sympathizer;
- an animal rights advocate.
- a Bible expert, who would "discard its truths to prosletyze for 'vague and fashionable spiritual values'."
ding ding, we have a winner. Thanks for playing.
Can't be Hillary... I don't believe that carpet qualifies as a "vegetable".
However, I'm seriously thinking that Bill Clinton may indeed be the anti-Christ. He certainly appears able to convince non-Christians that he "feels their pain" and has their best interests in mind.
If he gets appointed to replace Kofi, the parallel with the "Left Behind" series will get absolutely freaky.
By the way, when does the world end according to the Mayan calendar? 2008?
Ping.
Who does the Bible say the anti-christ or instead of christ is, it is really no mystery as to who it is.
Maurice Strong?
Soro's? Maybe, he is both jewish and european.
Spare the Meat, Spoil the Gospel
I was delighted to read the Manichaean ramblings of Daniel Paden, director of the Catholic Vegetarian Society ("Letters," June 2003). It confirmed my theory that fanaticism in Western society alternates between nudism and vegetarianism, both of which contradict the order of grace.
As an optimist, I happily trust that Paden confines his extreme commitments to vegetarianism. Taste is one thing; it is another thing to condemn meat-eating as "evil" and permissible only "in rare and unfortunate circumstances." Paden disagrees with no less an authority than God who forbids us to call any edible unworthy (Mark 7:18-19), and who enjoined St. Peter to eat pork chops and lobster in one of my favorite revelations (Acts 10:9-16). Does the Catholic Vegetarian Society think that Our Lord was wrong to have served up fish to the 5,000, or should He have refrained from eating the Passover lamb? When He rose from the dead and appeared in the Upper Room, He did not ask for a bowl of Cheerios, nor did He whip up a meatless omelette on the shore of Galilee.
Man was made to eat flesh (Genesis 1:26-31; 9:1-6), with the exception of human flesh. I stand on record against cannibalism, whether it be inflicted upon the Mbuti Pygmies by the Congolese Army or on larger people by a maniac in Milwaukee. But I am also grateful that the benevolent father in the parable did not welcome his prodigal son home with a bowl of radishes.
Vegetarians assume an unedifying posture of detachment from the sufferings of vegetables that are mashed, stewed, diced, and shredded. In expensive restaurants cherries are publicly burned in brandy to the applause of diners. It is not uncommon for people to submerge olives in iced gin and twist the peels of lemons. Be indignant, vegetarian, but not so selectively indignant that the bleat of the lamb and the plaintive moo of the cow drown out the whine of our brother the bean and the quiet sigh of the cauliflower. Vegetables have reactive impulses. Were we to confine our diet to creatures that lack sense and do not even respond to light, we could only eat liturgists and liberal Democrats.

Ban the music of Mozart? Man, this guy is some hard-liner!
Mr. Maurice Strong, the head of the United Nations environmental programs, wrote, in August of 1991, "It is clear that current life-styles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class, involving high meat intake [Mr. Strong is a vegetarian], consumption of large amounts of frozen and convenience foods, ownership of motor vehicles, small electrical appliances, home and work place air conditioning, and suburban housing, are not sustainable. A shift is necessary toward life-styles less geared to environmentally damaging consumptive patterns."

There are some who think Putin is the AntiChrist, and some who worship him as some Second Coming of Jesus. Putin. Go figure.
Ted Turner?
Bill Gates?
