		<description>&lt;p&gt;There was quite a flap about Obaman being the antiChrist a few weeks ago but it seems to have died down a bit. Just google it and you&#039;ll see what I mean!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;@Dave - isn&#039;t that exactly what everyone would need to be thinking in order for the anti-Christ do his thing? I mean, the anti-Christ would need to deceive even smart people like you that he really isn&#039;t the anti-Christ when really, he is (assuming the anti-Christ is a &quot;he&quot;).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Of course, this is no evidence that Obama or McCain may or may not be the anti-Christ. I&#039;m just making the case that by definition, you won&#039;t overtly recognize the anti-Christ when / if he / she appears. And I think this is Matt&#039;s point.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Obama and McCain both have sever shortcomings (starting with McCain being about a hair away from dementia), but referring to either as the &quot;anti-Christ&quot; is so freaking absurd I can&#039;t fathom why someone would say it in kind of remotely serious tone...&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Obama Nation of Desolation?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I think any guess at the anti-christ will leave one looking foolish.  I might have also been referring to McCain.  But probably not.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Keep in mind, I used to have Bono pretty high up on my list too, and I love Bono.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Anyone who carries a revolutionary message and is wildly popular needs to be scrutinized very very very closely.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Yeah one of the problems of saying vote your conscience is that more and more people are violating and searing their consciences and so are not able to discern that there is such a thing as objective moral reality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The other problem is that the ideals of unconditional acceptance and love are being accepted by religious and secular society alike while atheistic influence is denouncing objective morality (which can&#039;t exist if there is no God) and so are calling into question responsibility to follow said morality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;And so the root problem, they say, is that religious people hold to an inflexible ethic that many don&#039;t quite see.  So my political position is to give them Jesus in the hope that it will open up their eyes.  Its a crazy business.&lt;/p&gt;
