How many people are you all going to label Anti-Christ? Going to keep it up until you label someone that fits the description? Get this, St. John wrote Revelations on the Island of Patmos. Patmos is literally covered in Red Cap (Amanita caesarea) Mushrooms. Ever taken any? You hallucinate on them. Need I say more on the subject, or do you get it?
There is no distinct Anti-Christ, what there really is is an Anti-Christian Movement all over the world. Christians have tried to run the world for way too long, and many are tired of their lies and stories of monsters, and the fear factor they present to everyone. Let me educate you a little on your book, as I can see you have not researched it at all.

You evidently did not see what I wrote here on the Anti-Christ.
Very few contemporary scholars debate the existence of Jesus, the establishment of the church in Jerusalem, the crucifixion of Christ, the fact that the early Christians preached about a resurrected Christ and an empty tomb in the very city they preached and the subsequent spread of the Christian gospel to Asia Minor and most of the known world.
That all may be so, but Philo of Alexandria was in a perfect position to write about Jesus, and he did not mention a word in his many writings. How do you explain that?

The name "antichrist" is only found in 1 John 2:18, 2:22, 4:3, and 2 John 7.

The Apostle John was the only Bible writer to use the name antichrist. Have you researched on whether or not John really existed?

I find no evidence at all for any of the so called followers of Christ. Care to show proof?

I literally laughed "ha!" out loud when I was browsing ATS front page and read this title. Christians have literally named every single popular leader and politician as the "anti christ" in the last xxx years, it is so freaking ridiculous. Google any well known politician or leader's name + antichrist and you'll get a hit.
First off even if you take the giant leap of faith and believe in the bible, why do you christians always automatically assume you are living in the revelations times and that the "anti christ" will be seen in your life time? You do realize that literally every single generation has thought this same thing and been wrong? At what point do you start learning from the past?
Just shows how self centered and short-sighted humans are, always thinking the time they live in is the most significant.
People cite "o there's so much going on in the world now blahblah" yea ok, there's always stuff going on in the world. Reality is our current times are actually more tame and less deadly compared to some other points in history like World War 1/2, the great depression, the Spanish Flu, Civil War, the Crusades, etc. The only reason people even "feel" like "more stuff is going on" is now there is 1) more people thus more opportunities for things to happen and more importantly 2) internet and tv for instant news everywhere so it seems like so much more is going on when really its just easier to hear about it all now when in the past you would have no clue what is going on across the world.
Anyways, no Ron Paul is not the "anti christ".edit on 25-11-2011 by darkest4 because: (no reason given)

it's in one of his speeches. he referred to how the church use to manage the hospitals back in the day and that he thought that would be the better option. now the only way they could do that is if we paid money to them to handle it in the form of tithes (a church tax, essentially). but since a good bit of the health care red tape would be gone and many in the church work for the church for free and are sustained by the church's financial base, derived from tithes, it would cut out alot of the cost associated with health care, because you aren't paying high dollar for them, as they only get what the church gives them (they are essentially volunteers). probably would help to read up on how the RCC handled hospitals and paid for the costs, but i think it's pretty obvious how they did it thru tithes
