The debate over the debate has gotten so intense that Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins, the authors of the "Left Behind" series, issued a statement clarifying that Obama is likely not the Antichrist in the Book of Revelation. "I've gotten a lot of questions the last few weeks asking if Obama is the Antichrist," Jenkins told Christian Newswire. "I tell everyone that I don't think the Antichrist will come out of politics, especially American politics."
LaHaye has said he recognized echoes of his books in the McCain ad. |
Well, I'm glad these experts cleared that up. I was gettin' worried.

| For the Antichrist to come out in American politics would be too obvious for the Great Deceiver. |

pleco.....
If he is elected, I rather hope his political decisions demonstrate that he is indeed Anti-Christian. Obama strikes me as far too perceptive to really be a "devout" Christian. That stance is, of course, necessary for nomination and election to the Presidency but I am quite sure that it is a political ploy and his will be a significantly secular Presidency - unlike George W. (Whelped-again) Bush, who talks with God daily and was obviously thus endowed with the political, domestic, and foreign policy genius that has so brilliantly characterized his Administration! |

Obama is already on the record saying that religious belief is insufficient justification for laws.
Of the two(Obama/McCain), Obama strikes me as more genuine in his professed beliefs. If its a ploy, its one he has been planning for 20ish years....

I have no doubt that both of the candidates are barely more Christian than you or me.
From wiki:| Obama directed Illinois Project Vote from April to October 1992, a voter registration drive with a staff of 10 and 700 volunteers that achieved its goal of registering 150,000 of 400,000 unregistered African Americans in the state, leading Crain's Chicago Business to name Obama to its 1993 list of "40 under Forty" powers to be.[22][23] |
This appears to be the first significant political event in his biography, he was active in church affairs at that time and certainly used the church as a platform to base his rapid ascendancy in Chicago politics. He appears to have had presidential aspirations almost from the beginning, and he certainly understood the political base that the Trinity United Church afforded him. I feel that, yes, he made religious decisions with political objectives in mind about 15 to 20 years ago.
It may be that there is some genuine religiosity in his personal philosophy, but I would wager that there is more than a little agnosticism in Obama's faith. There are relatively few deeply religious intellectuals in the 21st century.
McCain would profess Rastafarianism if he thought it would buy him a few votes! After roundly denouncing Falwell earlier, he delivered the commencement address at Liberty "University" in 2006. He is a whore! |

Well, yes, McCain is a complete sellout. He proclaims he is a baptist...
Anything for a vote I guess.
