Actually, it's more like trying to find a needle in a needlestack. Anyone who refers to THE Antichrist as though there's only one unique singular being, is misguided. In my opinion.
I agree with you! I am of the belief that the Anti-Christ will be more of a political / conglomerate or even a multi-national entity than just a single person. I could be wrong but to me that makes more sense.

Personally I think the whole antichrist thing is a myth, just like Zeus, Hades and Jupiter and other ancient myths were. I don't think that there's an antichrist and that there ever will be one.

Okay, I'm going to take a huge chance here and post my opinion without reading the entire thread, okay, so...
(oh yeah, if I offend anyone, well, tough, I'm not taking a shot at you personally, so grow up and deal with it, last I checked, this is still the United States, and I'm still a taxpayer...um...sorry folks...I'll get off my soap box now...)
It's time for light.

generally, if your a god believer, and love your religion, your a kind, thoughtful person.
so, in the same sense the antichrist is amongst us,
in forms of greeed, selfishness, hared, racism and such.

the church has made a living out of keeping their pockets lined with the money of the people they keep in the dark.

Honestly though it sounds more like hte usual antichrist hysteria. When napoleon invaded spain, the catholics thought he was the antichrist. In the dark ages, I am sure that they thought the 'termagent worshiping muslim idolators' were the anti-christ, etc. Whoever the church (and clearly not just the rcc) fears at the time is 'the anti-christ'.
I fully agree.
The notion of the anti-Christ is a ''passing'' of the Church to debauce religionists' minds from more important things.
Catholic (and Orthodox) church has accused people for being anti-Christ when they dunno cope with their motives and interests.An example of the past, Galileo Galilei had been been accused as a pawn of Satan by the Inquisition. Today our minds are away from such superstitions or at least i thought so.
All of the prophesies are ''passings'' from the church clergies to ease people's pain for a better world. A world that is allegently written and prophesied but will never live in it.
In my country,
i have heard about many allegently anti-Christs been accused and they prooved to be fine people with extremely far out ideologies, but never kept up with what the Orthodox church said.
I believe the Pope is seeing a potential enemy of his throne and what would be best if charge him with the accusation of being anti-Christ.
