This was, of course, long before Google told you everything you wanted to know in a fraction of a second, but some thoughts survived long enough to be transcribed to web pages...quick search:

Everyone knows that the mark (number) of the beast is 666 and we see it every day, everytime we buy something.

A bar-code reader recognizes a bunch of lines as a bar code if and only if they start with a thin double line, have a thin double line exactly in the middle and end with that same thin double line.

btw, the thin double line is the barcode symbol for the number 6.....

It's difficult to know how much is tongue in cheek, how much is casual whimsy, how much is real. My mother, with her ninth grade education, read her horoscope every morning in the Saint Paul Pioneer Press. But to the best of my knowledge, she never based any decision on what she read. I just checked, and believe it or not the Washington Post still publishes a daily horoscope. I'm instructed to focus on relationships today, and I will be richly rewarded.

I can very well see myself answering some stupid poll by saying oh sure, Obama is the Antichrist. And I am the reincarnation of Julius Caesar, and Cleo is out in the kitchen fixing breakfast. Still, there is some serious idiocy out there. A few days after the attack on the Twin Towers a woman came up to me, book in hand, to explain how this was all foretold by Nostradamus. She definitely was not joking.

He totally contradicted himself, therefore he is the antichrist. Seems logical.

Lying Scumbag=Politician=Antichrist=Bingo!

There is logic no one can fault.

Lawyer, you forgot lawyer, dude

I have known people (also not joking) who hold both that every word in the bible is literally true and that the bible predicts current events. The objection that seeing those predictions requires one to slip into figurative mode doesn't faze them a bit. Nope, seeing those predictions simply requires a "correct" reading of the bible.

Both Bush and Clinton ran into some of this too.

Reagan, too. I remember one of the pieces of evidence cited for Reagan's being the antichrist was that his first, middle, and last names each had 6 letters.

Having lived through the 80s, my impression is that the "Ronald Wilson Reagan = 666" was very much a joke. Folks on the left were using this to mock Falwell and his ilk.

I wouldn't say the same about the current polls that show that significant numbers of Republicans think that Obama

1. Is a socialist
2. Is a muslim
3. Was born in Kenya
4. Is the antichrist

Significant portions of the Republican base are completely detached from reality.

[Al_U_Card]

Let's see:

1 - He certainly socialized banking losses.

2 - His "stage" name may well be "Moo - Slim" 'cos he's skinny and he is milking the taxpayers.

3 - Wasn't his slogan something like: "Kenya believe this is the change you were hoping for?"

and

4 - He used to follow a preacher that "God-damned" America so...who knows?

No poll is stupid in itself as it would be good to know what we are dealing with here.

Obama is the anti-christ OR, we have quantified the demographic dumb enough to spend $1 to text a poll response of "I don't know". A little market research towards more pollster jobs?

I'm not sure that he is the antichrist but he sure is a marxist dictator. He's only been in office for a couple of weeks and he's already taken away American's god-given right not to pay for the sick and ugly.

Who knew the Antichrist would come from Kenya?

I'm just glad people have dropped the whole Obama/Osama/Hussein thing.

some of those same people will tell you that the revelation of st. john is different from, say, isiah or ezekial when all are the same type literature...

Yes, and a lot of them live in Arizona. I think it is the water.

Barack Obama is my president, a person and office I have great respect for. McCain would have been my president if he had won, a person I also would have had respect for. (I still do).

Wow...bizarre philosophy. Tag her and watch her migration.

The country needs more people like JoAnne. That's the perfect way to look at it and a good way to say it.

Gag me. Sorry.

The Antichrist mystery is soon to be resolved. A glossy came in the mail advertising a series of lectures on Biblical Prophesies. The last lecture is entitled "Unmasking the Antichrist". We owe it to ourselves to attend. it says.

[Winstonm]

Hmmm. I don't seem to recall ever seeing Obama in a mask.
