From the Good Book, fine sir. And yes, you were soooo very tired.

The 27 Characteristics of the AntiChrist
Know how to recognize the beast and not be swayed into believing that someone is the AntiChrist who doesn't match the biblical characteristics.

1. He comes from among ten kings in the restored Roman Empire; his authority will have similarities to the ancient Babylonians, Persians, and Greeks [Daniel 7:24; Rev 13:2 / Daniel 7:7]

2. He will subdue three kings [Daniel 7:8, 24]

3. He is different from the other kings [Daniel 7:24]

4. He will rise from obscurity…a “little horn” [Daniel 7:8]

5. He will speak boastfully [Daniel 7:8; Rev 13:5]

6. He will blaspheme God, [Daniel 7:25; 11:36; Rev 13:5] slandering His Name, dwelling place, and departed Christians and Old Testament saints [Rev 13:6]

7. He will oppress the saints and be successful for 3 ½ years [Daniel 7:25; Rev 13:7]

8. He will try to change the calendar, perhaps to define a new era, related to himself [Daniel 7:25]

9. He will try to change the laws, perhaps to gain an advantage for his new kingdom and era
[Dan 7:25]

10. He will not be succeeded by another earthly ruler, but by Christ [Daniel 7:26-27]

11. He will confirm a covenant with “many”, i.e. the Jewish people [Daniel 9:27]
This covenant will likely involve the establishment of a Jewish Temple in Jerusalem
[see Dan 9:27; Matt 24:15]

12. He will put an end to Jewish sacrifice and offerings after 3 ½ years and will set up an abomination to God in the Temple [Daniel 9:27, Matthew 24:15]

13. He will not answer to a higher earthly authority; “He will do as he pleases”[Daniel 11:36]

14. He will show no regard for the religion of his ancestors [Daniel 11:37]

15. He will not believe in any god at all [except for himself] [Daniel 11:37]

16. He will have "no regard for the desire of women": He will either be asexual or homosexual
[Dan 11:37]

17. He will claim to be greater than any god [Daniel 11:37; 2 Thess 2:4]

18. He will claim to be God [2 Thessalonians 2:4]

19. He will only honor a “god” of the military. His whole focus and attention will be on his military. He will conquer lands and distribute them [Daniel 11:39-44]

20. His arrival on the world scene will be accompanied by miracles, signs and wonders [2 Thess 2:9]

21. Either he, or his companion [The False Prophet], will claim to be Christ [Matt 24:21-28]

22. He will claim that Jesus did not come in the flesh, or that Jesus did not rise bodily from the grave
[2 John 7]. He will deny that Jesus is the Messiah [I John 2:22]

23. He will be worshipped by many people [Rev. 13:8]

24. He will hate a nation that initially will have some control over his kingdom, but he will destroy this nation [Rev 17:16-18]

25. He will appear to survive a fatal injury [Rev. 13:3; 17:8]

26. His name will be related to the number six hundred and sixty six—but not necessarily in an obvious fashion [Rev 13:17-18].

27. He will be empowered by the devil himself [Rev. 13:2]

@ madskillz

I'm gonna bookmark that. May come in handy in a few more months >_>

I should say how happy I am that Obama is the President-elect. Much better than John McCain to be prez.

Hehehe but keep in mind that his mom was causion so he's biracial.

Congrats to the Dude. Just wish I didn't have to hear his name all over school though....

Yeah. It's good reading. Too bad most folks will look at a few of the characteristics and just run with it.

Off-topic - how's your PS3? You prolly played yourself into a coma.

Probably? I did! I love it.

DL'ing something right now.

Can't tease you anymore, dude. Dang. I am heartbroken ;-(

OT: I will go out on a limb and call a few officials in the Obama admin:

1. Sec. of Defense - Colin Powell/Hagel/Webb or keep Gates - OR Wesley Clark

2. Sec. of State - Bill Richardson

3. Attorney General - the gov. in Mass.

4. Sec. of Energy - Rendell from Pa.

5. Treasury - I can't think of the cat's name, but he was in the Clinton's administration

6. Chief of Staff - Rahm Emmanuel

First of all I don't listen to the radio period, I also rarely watch TV, I just get news articles from the CNN homepage and form the local newspaper.

Obama's tax policy inolves taxing everyone making $150,000 or more by 40% of their total income.  This is the largest tax increase in United States history.  In his speeches Obama has said he will give a tax cut to everyone else but in actuality he is leaving all taxes the same for the others, and a large number of Americans didn't pay income tax in the first place.  Obama is instead going to be offer tax credits, which are basically another name for welfare in a sense, and those that don't pay income tax are still going to be paying this money.

So Obama's tax policy taxes the hell out of the "rich" even though the bottom end of what he classifies as rich are actually just normal middle class people, and then he redistributes the wealth to the lower levels.  In marxist theory, socialism is the first step from a capitolist nation to a communist nation.

The United States was founded on the idea that with hard work everyone can work from nothing to something and they should have strong incentive to do this.  America also up until FDR had had very little government intervention in the economy.  With Obama's plan, if a family has two working parents, and with just one parent working they are just under the threshold Obama considers rich, but with both parents working they are over it, it will actually be more worth it for only one of them to be working and one of them might as well quit their job, their families net income might actually be higher while just under it.  Obama's plan is also going to kill business owners because they are being heavily taxed and with the already failed Democratic Congress is currently raising the minimum wage which will hurt their ability to employ customers.

The only way in Obama's policy to have job growth is by the government starting to issue jobs out to people, which sounds a lot like Soviet Europe/USSR to me.

Also, we've already seen two years of a failed democratic congress, their polling from the past few days is 75% disapproval and only 18% approval.  And that's actually pretty high for congress these days!  What makes you think two more years of a democratic controlled congress plus a democratic president will be any better?  http://www.pollingreport.com/CongJob.htm

Everything I post on this website is based on my own opinion I have made myself, I don't watch TV or listen to the radio.  I simply look up the facts online and in the newspaper and decide what I think from that.  I am a very hard working person and the idea that I should be punished for working hard and my money be given to those who don't work as hard is simply just insulting in my mind.

Now I don't mind other people having different ideas from me, but I also find it insulting at this website that people can say crap about McCain or Republicans they rarely get called out on what they said but if I say something in support of McCain or against Obama I get called out in seconds and am immediately required to pull out some sort of 20 page list of references.  I want every member at this website to know that I only post well thought out political statements, all of it is 100% my opinion, and I don't make up facts.

Thank you and good night.

@ Ickalanda - your failed attempts to derail this thread are laughable.
