I'm new to FR

Hello.

Obama is the anti-christ

I'm an atheist.

which, if I'm understanding correctly, is an evil leader who ushers in the end of the world.

Speaking as an atheist, I'm very confident that the world will continue on for billions of years (until Sol goes).

Now, humanity probably won't survive that long.

My question is this: everyone posting about Obama being the anti-christ seems very concerned about the idea, yet one would assume that if they literally believe that such a thing is possible, then they're fairly confident they'll be raptured up as soon as all the trouble starts.

Uh....

Lastly, due to the...hostility...sometimes encountered here, let me clarify. I'm NOT trolling, I'm just curious.

I'll take your word. Some won't, so be prepared.

Finally, for the inevitable questions of my patriotism, I'm an Army paratrooper with two combat tours to Afghanistan, so

Ah, cool. Hey, does a guy in his late twenties have a chance in hell of becoming a paratrooper / airborne? Thinking of joining the Army, if they'd take me.

Interesting that the poster signs up today, yet speaks of hostility in the past.

I smell a retread.

An atheist on FR? Wow, didn’t know you guys existed. I too am confident that there’s no truth in any silly religious prophecies regarding the world’s end. Lastly, on the subject of the Airborne: if you go to OCS and put in for a combat branch, you should have your choice of ABN or AASLT. If you enlist, pick a combat arms MOS and getting Airborne shouldn’t be too tough. That said, in our battalion (Airborne Infantry) only like 70% are jump-qualified due to the high deployment tempo making it hard for the rest to get to school.
