Is Obama the Antichrist?

worldwide the Antichrist will be considered to be the saviour.the same with Obama.In france 92 percent would have voted for him.and why?nobody know.

Perhaps they're afraid of "the antichrist" bringing about the great judgement day when all sins will be revealed .......

You've got to be kidding me. This medieval hysteria is worthy of a column in Newsweek? Now, "Who is Keyser Soze?" That's what I want to know.

You've got to be kidding me. This medieval hysteria is posited as worthy of a column in Newsweek? Now, "Who is Keyser Soze?" That's what I want to know.

LOL!!! i absolutely love your very intelligent, witty response Knottyjen. That is so true!!! If he is the Antichrist stop trying to change what has already been written.

I don't get it - If Obama IS the Antichrist and all of this is prophisied in the bible - Then - why are they fighting it? Do they not want Christ to return???? Why do they not have faith in "God's plan"? I just don't get it - since we're obviously in the "End Time" would McCain have been a better Antichrist?

Christian lunacy.....

I was incredibly offended by this article. Wow. I am still stunned by it. I can't believe that Newsweek would help validate the concerns of a bunch of ignorant, racist, religious freaks. What ever happened to logic and reason? I didn't know if I should laugh or cry when I read the last passage: "On [Strandberg's] Web site, he has something called the Rapture Index, a calculation based on signs and prophecy of the proximity of the end." Please, do tell us more about this "calculation." I'd really like to know what mathematical steps this fruitcake takes in order to obtain his "data." Unbelievable. I don't care if you wingnuts want to chatter amongst yourselves about the end of the world, but I will be damned if this garbage starts turning up in something like Newsweek, a magazine that is SUPPOSED TO be fair, balanced, and LOGICAL. Lisa, why don't you encourage your religious readers to do something constructive? LIke pray for the President Elect's safety?

So Newsweek decided this was worthy of publication. WTF ?

There's a lot of very odd people in the US and I'm sure some believe the Book of Revelation is somehow linked to Barack Obama's election. That's not a reason for this magazine to publish an article that explains their insanity.

Newsweek - you have lost any credibility you once retained. You are now removed from my media favourites listing, I will not buy your print copy and I will not visit these web pages again. Idiots.

Despicable. This "article" was enough for me to cancel my Newsweek subscription and I've made it known to everyone I know that this rag has stooped to the level of the Weekly World News. Really? Entertaining the fringe weirdos who not only believe in the fairy tale of the Anti-Christ but that he's Barack Obama? What's next, a Lisa Miller exclusive with Bat Boy?

FALSE!!!!!!! FALSE!!!!! FALSE!!!!!!! FALSE!!!!!! FALSE!!!!!!! FALSE!!!!!!!! FALSE!!!!!!! FALSE!!!!!!!!! FALSE!!!!!!

THE Bible NEVER uses the term "Anti-Christ" nor does it gives detailed descriptions of the supposedly "Anti-Christ." Lisa Miller (author/editor) you need to take time out and ACTUALLY READ the Book of Revelations.

Does he have Roman blood in him? I doubt that he is the antichrist. Many of the positions he supports are anti-christian, but unless he reestablishes himself in the city of Babylon and becomes the leader of the entire world, I won't be thinking of him as The antichrist.

"... his liberal positions on abortion and traditional marriage, Staver says, positions that 'religious conservatives believe will threaten their freedom.'"

The only freedom "threatened" is their freedom to oppress their fellow citizens, their "freedom" to force others to follow their guidfelines. That is no kind of freedom at all.

"The people who believe Obama is the Antichrist are perhaps jumping to conclusions, but they're not nuts: 'They are expressing a concern and a fear that is widely shared,' Staver says."

Perhaps jumping to conclusions? How about "Perhaps out of their freaking minds!" The fact that a "concern" is widely shared says absolutely nothing about the validity of that concern. They certainly are "nuts" and worse, they want to export their version of insanity to the rest of us. If we don't want it, they are willing to force it on us. How's that for "freedom"?

He's not the Antichrist but he is black and I suppose that's the rub isn't it? Wow I was prepared for freaking out when Obama became President but this is ridiculous. The Antichrist? Seriously Newsweek? Wow. I look forward to the serious articles on Aliens, The Tooth Fairy, Santa Claus, Werewolves, The Loch Ness Monster, Bigfoot, and hopefully many others with excitement!

Lisa Miller, STEP DOWN. Your words are divisive and dangerous. You should be ashamed of promoting hate and bigotry. If Obama is assassinated I am blaming the likes of you.

Obama is the anticrhist! I know because I was abducted by aliens.

Gays have been gays, for years, abortion has been legal and illegal, prostitution as well. These things still occur; doesn't matter how you WISH it did not. Simply GUESSING Mr. Obama is the antichrist is absolutely horrible. Hey, if it's time for the rapture (as you call it), there is not a thing you can do about it. SO QUIT THIS
HATE AND FEAR CRAP. Mr. Obama just shocks you because he is the best president-elect in our time.
