Sylvia Brown couldn't prophesy her way out of a paper bag.

So... Jesus?

Well, I heard he can turn into water, steam, or ice when he fist-bumps with his sister! 8O

Anybody can turn into water, ice or steam depending upon the temperature. Which, of course, makes his sister rather energetic.

But the question is really are we worried about the antiChrist that is made of antimatter and explodes into pure energy when in contact with the Christ or are we wondering about the anteChrist who preceded Christ and was his big brother or are we concerned with Mary's sister who was, of course, the aunti Christ?

When I worked at an Italian dine-in chain some years back there was one character I worked with who expressed curiousity about what would happen if you mixed pasta with antipasta; likely it would create a black hole he reckoned.

No, because it convinced peoples with hopes not fear. Manipulation by fear, hate and mistrust is the best way to turn peoples toward "evil". On that point George W. Bush is closer to what could be the Antichrist that Barrack Obama.

The Antichrist is supposed to have all sorts of fantastic powers, and all sorts of devious means of influencing the masses. That's a lot to live up to. I wonder how well he will handle the weight of expectation. Let's face it, this is someone who's going to be pressured from birth by a domineering father to do no less than take over the entire world. That can't be a healthy upbringing. Personally, I think he'll end up being a reluctant celebrity, who struggles with drug and alcohol addiction, which is his only escape from all the unsolicited attention from the masses who are all expecting him to live out a life pre-planned in advance which he had no say over. He'll eventually get so frustrated that everybody only sees him as the harbinger of the apocalypse, and not the person he really is, that he becomes a virtual recluse, who is occasionally grudgingly corralled into the odd media interview, but would much rather be left alone. In his remote shack in the middle of nowhere, he is finally able to engage in his true passion, and after many years, under an assumed name, he fulfils his dream of becoming a highly successful science fiction author. Through interactions with his publisher, he is able to eventually meet a few people who are unaware of his true identity, who wish to associate with him because they are impressed with his writing, rather than his supernatural status. With true friends for the first time, he is finally able to overcome his problems with drugs and alcohol. Eventually, the media manage to discover the true identity of this best-selling author, and the people are amazed at what the harbinger of destruction ultimately ended up doing with his life. Though reluctant initially to engage with the media, the Antichrist now discovers that the people are now just as interested in the characters, plots and settings he created in his novels as they are in his alleged 'destiny'. Convinced that the people now are at least prepared to see him as the person he is, the Antichrist takes the opportunity to use the attention to launch a series of self-help books for people dealing with the pressures of expectations. He then respectfully asks that the media leave him alone, but makes the occasional appearance to promote his charities, which are aimed to help those who have gone through similar experiences to him. As the first of his novels is made into a spectacular blockbuster movie, the Antichrist is now much better adjusted and happier, splitting his time between writing his books, visiting his friends, and running a support group for other demigods who have also been led to dependence on drugs and alcohol as a result of public expectations and domineering parents, and his story is held up as inspiration for others.

Of course, that's all very speculative. It's entirely possible that the Antichrist might be unable to deal with his issues, and suffer the same tragic fate as Michael Jackson and many other celebrities. I just preferred to focus on the possibility of a more positive outcome.

I have a real wacky explanation of what the anti-christ will be- that's right, now a who but a what. It'll be a satellite that orbits the Earth and can predict just about everything, and I mean everything, through sophisticated technology (reading chemical reactions in brains, analyzing tectonic plates, watching weather patterns, and of course monitoring all communication be it human, written, or otherwise.) Nothing would be out of its capabilities. If we try to shoot it down, it can predict the trajectory and disable the missile or whatever laser-generating device. We built it to keep the peace and influence us for the good, but like the Futurama Santa, it deems us a threat to ourselves. Some advocate for its usefulness (the evil army) while the resistance readies itself for a battle with its followers.

:roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

Anyway, we'll have to wait and see. What I'm over here wondering is, won't we recognize him/her when he/she arrives? Somebody bringing on a new world order. Could be Ben Bernanke?
