    ... and one more thing! Another reason to despise religion (aside from it starting wars, formenting ignorance, defying science, resisting progress, and let's not even start with religion's treatment of women... why are the pious so afraid of the birth canal??! Why are there no gods born from a woman?) is that people with religious beliefs are all too ready to share theirs with you, but have no desire to entertain your beliefs, or especially you lack of beliefs,

    christ will never come. he never does. and the antichrist is a description for someone who causes war and brings suffering to the world. that would be george bush, the most recent in a long line of antichrists.

    Man do I HATE religion. This dumb-ass article is precisely why. Religious nut-jobs will take any excuse to believe that God is "speaking directly to him". God will have told him that Obama should die. Newsweek, you have handed some violent religious retard a loaded gun. You should be ashamed. I don't pray, but I do hope. I hope that this article goes unnoticed. I hope the damage that it could cause does not happen. And I hope you really think about the power of words before you next put pen to paper.

    Letter to the editor written and sent regarding this yellow and irresponsible publication of this highly opinionated and bigoted article. There are more than enough nuts out there to go around without stirring up more. I leave now to return to my peace....

    Way to go, Newsweek: You've just told all the unstable religious nutcases (of which there are way too many) that it's OK to take a shot at President Obama because "he's the antichrist." What the hell is wrong with you people?

    If something bad happens to Obama because of stupid crap like this, it's on your heads.

      Hey LoLo...I responded to you below...Your quite uninformed BTW....I neglected to answer your comment about American Birth. You do NOT have an American Birth Certificate showing Natural Born for your kids...UNLESS...the births occurred on U.S. Military Bases. If Hussein was in fact...born in Kenya...he would be ineligible to run for President. NATURAL BORN is a requirement...not Citizenship alone....Try reading more...cause "A mind is a terrible thing to waste."

      Allah Akbar Comrade...

      NOBAMA!!!

        Not true. Like I said, you need to get out more. My children have two sets of birth certificates: one British set and one American set. We were told at the American Embassy in London (where my children's American birth certificates were issued) that my children were considered as American as if they were born on American soil. Now, unless you have been in this situation, you're talking out your backside. Natural born is only a requirement if neither parent was born in the States. You may not like this, but it's the truth.

        I'll put my mind up against yours any day of the week and my reading consists of a lot more than the drivel you appear to read.

        Are you unaware that to get an American passport, a person has to provide a certified copy of their American birth certificate? Do you honestly think that Obama travelled to Iraq earlier this year on a non-American passport? Please.

        "All Akbar Comrade?" What nonsense you write.

        • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 11/16/2008 4:54:05 PM

          sorry LuLu....but....you are WRONG. Natural Born IS A REQUIREMENT to be POTUS. Any American citizen can obtain a passport. Place of birth does not matter when obtaining one. Running for POTUS however is another thing altogether.....

          Allah Akbar Comrade...

          NOBAMA!!!

          • Posted By: Lola Getz @ 11/16/2008 5:24:42 PM

            Wrong again, HolyRoller. Yes, any American citizen can get a passport but you have to be an American citizen, which Obama clearly is.

            Back to one of your earlier, also wrong, posts, you said that I did "NOT have an American Birth Certificate showing Natural Born for [my] kids" - wrong again, Einstein. My children's American birth certificates, issued in England, state that they "acquired United States citizenship at birth as established by documentary evidence presented to the Consular Serivce of the United States at London, England." What part of "at birth" do you not get? My kids have never lived in the United States, nor were they born there, but their American citizenship was acquired "at birth" according to the State Department of the United States of America.

            You don't know squat about any of this.

              Lola is correct. I her husband is a diplomat or other U.S official, her children are American. John McCain was able to run for Presidant thought born in Panama, because he was on U.S. Military territory.

              As with all the other lies made up, Obama is American, there is no debate.

              • Posted By: Lola Getz @ 11/16/2008 6:31:29 PM

                My husband isn't a diplomate or other US official. In fact, he's British. However, I'm an American and thus my children are considered "natural born" Americans as well, despite not being born in the USA nor having ever lived there.

                Funnily enough, on the day that they received their "retroactive" birth certificates along with their American passports, I asked at the American Embassy if that meant my kids could one day run for President. The answer from the State Department? Yes.

                The only reason I ever get involved with these stupid birth certificate discussions is because I know first hand what the rules are. You're absolutely right, Obama is American. Those who refuse to accept it are grasping at straws.

        Also, you can shout NOBAMA!!! all you like - it won't do you any good. Or are you planning to try to kill him?

  • Posted By: elleneyegreen @ 11/16/2008 6:24:56 PM

    Jessye, you should read my comments on your "blessed" church - and know the truth as history, real history, not some fantasy of yours. You have NO RIGHT to impose YOUR beliefs on ANYONE.

  • Posted By: elleneyegreen @ 11/16/2008 6:21:21 PM

    Good point Lola, I thought God loves us all, supposedly. I totally agree with you, and well-written, btw. All I see from these religious fanatics is hate and bigotry. Why does anyone care what gays do as long as it doesn't harm anyone else? They have a right to love just as anyone. Or have they all forgotten about Human Rights and Civil Rights? Or do those only apply to the hypocritical "righteous"? :P

    I have said this for along time.Didn't it say he would masrevive the people, they have forgotten what he is for, Abortion, Stem cell, cloning.I'm not sure if he is The Antichrist, but he is definitely ONE!. As was Hitler, Stalin,Hussein, Bin Laden. I'm afraid, Our Nation As Fallen asleep to Morals & Truths, "GODS TRUTHS & LAWS".

    Why would NEWSWEEK run this article? do they hate Mr Obama that much? This is incredible. Newsweek, I'm ashamed of you. Try harder please.

  • Posted By: LouNor @ 11/16/2008 5:59:48 PM

    And NEWSWEEK can't even keep these comments in chronological order! Why should anyone ever support such a ding-bat publication?

  • Posted By: peekie14 @ 11/16/2008 5:57:56 PM

    Hey Newsweek, are you trying to deliberately get Obama assassinated? What the heck kind of garbage is this? You are going to rile up every religious nut job in this country to go kill him. I would much rather see an article about Sara Palin being the anti-christ. That would seem a lot more plausible to me.

  • Posted By: elleneyegreen @ 11/16/2008 5:40:10 PM

    Well said and well written, Paulita. Bravo. And TRUE. Shame on you, Newsweek, for publishing such inflammatory and opinionated garbage. Separation of church and State. Letter to the editor coming up....

      Thank yo I didn´t know it was on there so sorry I put it twice sorry

      I think we have to let these editors know its the only way

    Oh yes, and millions more died of syphilis, which did not exist in this hemisphere until the disgusting Spanish catholics arrived with their "religious morals". Now that is truly hypocritical and disgusting, so get over it. Get the facts straight. Ignorance?

    Subject: Lisa Miller is Obama the Anti-Christ November 15, 2008

    I would simply like to express my opinion that the article by Lisa Miller, Is Obama the Anti-Christ dated November 15, 2008 is a terrible story. While freedom on speech dictates people can think and say what they wish, except sedition or other exceptions, such speech does not have to be given credence or sanctioned by one of the world´s leading news sources.

    There is always a fine line to censorship, but this article offers no opposing view and thereby gives tacit agreement to such an inflammatory premise.

    The 2008 election spoke to healing our divisions and coming together as a country, that is why we were excited by the message of "Change," such a story does not help to fulfill the mandate of the people, and only adds to the divisiveness and fear mongering.

    I hope that publications such as Newsweek will take care in whom they choose to give voice, and to include other opinions when publishing such inflammatory rhetoric.

    Theologians - Divided and controlled, you gasp for air in your escapist behaviors. With such blatant omission of critical thinking, you go every Sunday to immerse yourself in fantasy. It may be easier to let the river take you downstream, but you have now conditioned your mind to believe the unbelievable. Now our government can sell you any story they want, and you laugh openly about conspiracy theories. Keep fearing the celestial spanking we are all supposed to get. Let the superstitions of our ancestors affect your decision making. There is no reconciliation between the empirical data of Sciences, and the fantasies of Theology. What you call a cleansing I call a torment. My God can kick your gods ass.

    Hahaha! And what PROOF and evidence do you have? We have all the proof and evidence on the disgusting and horribly corrupt republican party. Yours is yet another mere ignorant opinion. Don't let your mouth overload your backside. Speaking of abortion, your mother should have practiced pro-choice, along with all the mothers of all the violent criminals in prison that we taxpayers are forced to maintain.

    "In the event that RaptureReady crashes during the apocalypse, anyone who needs an update will, with a simple Google search, be able to get one."

    This is just too funny - does anyone seriously think that in the middle of the apocalypse, people will stop to do Google searches?

    What would Jesus Google?

    Does St. Peter own a PC or a Mac?

    Having a personal relationship with a Higher Power is one thing, but this whole 'antichrist' thing is getting out of hand. "The people who believe Obama is the Antichrist are perhaps jumping to conclusions, but they're not nuts."

    No, but the people who think that some guy on an internet site with a rapture index has all the answers sure might be.

    Who CARES about his birth certificate!? No one's seen mcoin's or palin's! President Obama is anything but a crook and a fraud, you have that confused with the Republicans, who really ARE the crooks and fraudsters, not to mention world class liars. You're a little late anyways, WE WON. We won over the ignorant, bigoted, and hypocritical religious fanatics that have been whining about the "apocalypse" since 1000 A.D. Congratulations, you've come a long way!
