Please provide corroborative evidence the jesus (the one that appears in the new testament) was a real historical figure and all the accounts of this character are true.
I would suspect, using a term such as 'vicar' and suggesting that the AntiChrist someone is acting in the place of the Christ, then most likely Alethea is inferring that the Pope of the Catholic Church is the AntiChrist or at least is one of many and that "the Beast" is the alleged shadowy sects within that are controlling things.

Who exactly are you saying is the Beast? And where is your evidence that this network of people exist and are in fact the Beast? How do you know they aren't just pretending to be the Beast in order to take advantage of the superstitious?
No offense but there doesn't seem to be any substance to this OP.

I suspect the OP has got the Catholic church in mind.
I'm not a catholic, so I was keeping out of the argument.

The Djin Some people have something called “religious faith” and therefore would like to discuss the teachings of the Christian faith, without some kind of atheist changing the subject to “whether there is a faith”. But all means go do an Atheist faith, thread about how e.g. you’ve found some writing on the planets saying “there is no Christian god” and you’ll still never have changed peoples minds, but just a lot of time arguing.
