Obama the Antichrist?

Here is the article which will lead me to the following rant.  It's from time.com.
A guy has a nice photoshopped picture of Obama on his discussion of the topic on his blog.

It make sense that some evangelicals (and many others that may not even be religious) that are overly interested in exactly when and how the world will end/second coming of Christ would over-interpret scripture and come to this possibility/conclusion. People have done many ignorant things over the 2,000+ years since the historical Jesus lived and the New Testament was written in the name of Christ (i.e. the crusades). Clinton was named the anti-christ in emails during his presidency. Conspiracy theorists have said most of the Bush family members are wrapped up in multiple conspiracies and secretly rule the world from some nebulous shadow governmental organization/old boy network/an alien reptilian shape shifters that came from inside the earth (not making that up, go check out some conspiracy sites).

It's ridiculous on it's face. It smacks of superstition. Even though this type of stuff has been attached to American Presidents going back to Ronald Reagan by people that are overly paranoid about the government, aliens, etc.; In this case it goes a little beyond. Underlying the attack is the entire he's a muslim not a christian and he's not white and therefore you shouldn't vote for him. It smacks of bigotry rationalized and underlying misinterpretation of biblical scripture. But it will affect a lot of people's decisions. It aims at the lowest common denominator deep down in people's hearts, which is what saddens me the most.

It's funny how the evangelical preachers have to constantly change how the future will unfold, which inevitably involves identifying where the anti-christ will come from and how he (or she) will act. Evangelical preachers have preached the end of the world from radio and television since the media were invented and backed it all up with the same quotes from Daniel, Luke, and Revelation and tie it in neatly to current world events. The happenings in the middle east, jewish people relocating to Israel, liberalization of social mores here in the U.S., any technological advances that remotely seemed to foreshadow big brother or a new world order, EU talks and unification were a big deal, globalization, and most natural disasters are popular fodder...it never ends, until some preacher happens to be accidently right some day.

Anyways, Jesus said, "You cannot tell by careful watching when the reign of God will come." (Luke 17:20). I think if you're Christian this quote speaks for itself without jumping around from Daniel, Revelation, Isaiah, and many other books to create a mish-mashed message tied into current events and then proclaim the end is nigh! I think quotes from the messiah's mouth suffice a lot better, if Christ is your thing.
