    Is G. W. Bush the Antichrist?
    I stumbled upon a websith that really has me wondering if bush is the Antichrist. Please go to www.bushisantichrist.com and read the proof that he is indeed the antichrist or at least fits the 666 part of it. I know that in the last year all of the great scholars have come forth to say that the mark or number of the beast is really 669. I am now thinking this is more disinformation since G.W. Bush fits the 666 thing. :confused:

    If you mean the AC mentioned in Revelation,

    1. the first problem is that it is not a "common Christian belief" that this AC is a single person. It is common among many Protestant churches, but not of Catholic or Orthodox.

    2. If it is a person, then we are fairly sure of one thing: Christians will not identify him prior to his coming to world power.

    Bottom line: Scripture does not give us a formula whereby we can "test" anyone. Scores of people have been shown that some formula shows that they are "666".

    Ah yes, spoken like a true Catholic! I say that because we have all been taught everything we know and perceive so that all of our collected information will be our basis for our reasoning as to how we perceive the world and what is happening in it at this very moment. Hummm, I just hope they told me the truth! Catholics, Mormons and so on all have a different take on this subject. Then there is the element that does not even suspect that a great war is in progress in this world and that the negative side, or evil side or what ever one wishes to call it, for the sake of argument, just may wrestle the power away from the other and reign for a time. Since all of the religons don't see eye to eye on this trivial subject, then I guess there really is nothing to worry about so I'll be getting back to my video games now. Ta-Ta!

    G W Bush is more like Hilter, Blindly having the Congress and House pass more and more bills to take your rights away from the Constitution. Dictator Bush claims all for the prevention of Terrorist. Well, the New Pearl Harbor on 9/11 got what Bush wanted, more rules against the every day person. Bush is the biggest terrorist we have. In my opinion.

    Mr. Yet... quite observant. Papa Bush and the idiot son are members of the illuminati. The folks like Rockefeller, Globalists that want to get rid of millions of us... they call us unnessasary eaters. They would love the world to be populated by just their servants and workers, ie: a few farm labors, builders and such. Then they could galavant around a totally pristine world void of the rest of us and do as they please. That way, they can selectivly breed and propagate their offspring to rule this part of the universe. Some of them, and this is no joke, call themselves the Masters of the Universe! Now just how much ego can fit in one tiny head I will ask you. The funny thing is, they will never succeed and we, the people will end up having a huge bar-b-que and eating their young! They work in the shadows because they are cowards and the police are their private army. Still, good always overcomes evil and they are going to fail. Deep down inside, they know it, it's just that ego thing they can't seem to control! :cool:

    I don't think he's the antichrist in the religious sense of the word, but I do agree that he's a despot and a dictator, and that he's done a lot of harm. His foreign policies stink. All he's succeeded in doing is making the people who live in the rest of the world (outside of the US) hate Americans more. I have never met anyone here in Canada who likes him or agrees with his government. Even the people I know here who vote conservatively don't like him. In fact just the other day I saw some T-shirts for sale downtown, featuring a picture of George Bush and the words "American Psycho" written underneath.

    I don't see Dubya as an antichrist. Frankly, I don't think he has the intelligence. I think he's mostly a spolied brat who has always gotten his way so he thinks he can do anything he wants.

    You know the only problem with all of this, is that he reallly can't do or coninue to do any of this without the congress allowing him or passing the laws to allow him, or giving him the funding to do it.

    And guess who votes all these people into power, the people, so in general he is doing what a lot of the people want him to do.
    ( except for the immigration issues which are not passing congress at this time)

    But the American people were all behind him in the war, ( until it did not get over in 12 months) but then they cry foul if the try to actually win it,

    But I bet the next election will not show much difference, the same senators and congress will get re-elected. Bush of course can't run again but niether side has a good showing for the next President.

    Ahh, but that's not exactly true. Many of the things Bush has done has been by Executive Order. The prime example is the wiretaps. Another example is the recent revelations about the leaks to Libby. Dubya wanted the info leaked so he declassified the documents.

    Bush is not the antichrist
    I personnaly fill that he was a breath of fresh air
    All these people crying foul because the war has taken to long to bad so sad
    I have two brothers in iraq right now
    And all they say is they now they are doing what needs to be done
    He has done a good job over the years

    Just think if clinton was president when this happened he would have run back to canada

    Then we would have had to deal with gore who I fill is a coward

    My filling about antichrist stuff is bullsh-- he is always talking to different heads of chuches
    He has done a good job

    Sadly his front is that of a religious god-fearing man but his real god is money - no president has pandered to corporations more in any term than that man; Bush and Cheney are all about padding the pocketbook.

    Sorry, Anyone who thinks that Bush has done a "good job", is just turning a blind eye to the facts. We should NEVER have been in Iraq in the first place. The cost both in American lives and monetary cost are causing huge problems. Dubya's disregard for civil rights, his frequent bending of the truth, if not outright lies and the many mistakes made by his administration will have him go down in history as one of the worst presidents ever.

    Just because Bush's visible income may be lower, its still very clear that his sympathy and focus is lining the pockets of corporate America.

    A breath of fresh air?? Just the opposite, the stink coming out of D.C. is permeating the country.

    Another point I would bring up is the election. Does anyone out there really think that Dubya won that election fair and square? I personally think that Papa Bush and the power elite put Dubya in by hook and crook. Now the puppet does exactly what the people pulling the strings want him to do. We are going after Iran next. 200 billion a year in oil revenues? Does that sound right? Now that's what I call "WILDCATTIN"! :eek:

    Exactly, Dubya is a puppet. Its clear to me that he doesn't have the intelligence to run this country. There are forces behind him that are forming the policies. I think that's why he has been caught with so many contradictions. If he doesn't have someone feeding him lines, he screws up.

    Exactly! He cannot articulate a complete sentence on his own without reading the teleprompter! Boy, the whole world has lost respect for America because of the Bush's and the election scam. They have shown the world what is really possible in a democracy and I don't think the world really wants to emulate it anymore. So if you don't agree with us we will just kill you! We have to stop... we can't fight everyone! Not at the same time anyway. Russia and China are in the background holding hands. Just because we are China's biggest customer, will that stop them when we are spread too thin?

    And no daddy didn't help put bush in office.

    You say those who think bush is doing a good job has turned a blind eye

    What about old clinton and monica
    Your probable one of the people who thought that was OK
    He lied about that at the beginning of the whole thing

    You probable want his old lady as are next president
    If that happens the world is in for a lot more trouble then you think

    If you want to believe that daddy didn't help get Dubya elected I doubt if anything I say will change your mind.

    What about Clinton and Monica? Clinton's actions with Lewinsky were shameful, but they were personal actions that had nothing to do with the presidency. Nor do they have anything to do with the quality of the job Dubya is doing.

    First I'm jewish. Second, why did the war in Iraq need to happen? So we could destroy their WMDs? Well there were none. So we could depose an evil dictator? We've supported evil dictators before. What right do we have to invade a sovereign nation just because we don't like its leader?

    What does respect have to do with asking for help? How many countries ask for our aid then laugh at us behind our backs for giving it to them?

    Demon, It's very probable that you will fall for anything they tell you. It's very probable you put words in people's mouth's because you don't have much of an argument. The thing that is the most probable is that at best, you are very ill informed. But don't worry, at the rate we are going, Armagedden is very close and after it goes down, you can tell every one it did'nt happen.

    I already answered why we didn't need to do it. The Iraq war is the first time in the history of the US where we struck the first blow. Granted Sometimes we provoked the first blow, but this was the first time we struck it.

    I believe in peace not war. I do not believe in pre-emptive first strikes. Nor did our founding fathers. I supported the action in Afghanistan because that was in retaliation. The invasion of Iraq was not. The reasons Bush gave us about it have all been shown to be false.

    I actually agree with you that we should have gone all the way in Desert Storm. We had some justification then. But Bush had to preserve what was a very fragile alliance. If he had gone into Baghdad, that alliance would have broken apart.

    Try learning some facts about what is going on. So far all you have displayed is ignorance.

    Demonspeed, you ask why I think we are headed for Armageddon. Well, you can call it what you like but we are going into Iran next and then probably Syria next and with all of the nukes that are unaccounted for from the old USSR, (which, by the way, may be in the background drawing us in or at least suppling arms to these countries), there is going to be some nukes shot off before this is over. This is a serious situation that the whole world is involved in and I just don't happen think Bush is the man for the job dude! Kennedy handled Cuba and Russia quite well in his day but this is much, much, bigger and all we have is G.W.(Dubya) Bush. Oh man I am scared and I fear for my grand kids future. If you want to play cowboy with Dubya just remember one thing, when those wagons are in a circle, Dubya will be under ground... will you?

    And also security? Oh you are so right on . How absolutely nice of you to be so helpful to our nation and to people in need. I think it's totally biased of someone to even suggest a stupid thing like the leader of our country- being, well I won't even dignify it by repeating it.

    I find it amazing how these people complaing about Bush in every way... yet they do it with such disrespect! Wow, too bad if they can't overlook some of your words AND if they can't see the positive things Bush has done for our country. Oh, even though I liked Clinton- he actually backed down from retalliation after the USS Cole was hit because it was towards the end of his 2nd term.

    I've survived my own 9/11 TWICE. So I hope G.W. gets Bin-Laden after all... before he leaves office! I cried for every single person that had their story put on A&E and Discovery channel & court TV, etc...

    Now, I think Red China has a right to have their own nuclear weapons. This way we don't stand out as The Big Cheese by having a monopoly as such.

    Respect has to be earned. I agree that a newly elected president deserves his country's respect out of the gate. But to keep that respect it has to be earned. Dubya has not earned it! I'm not going to repeat the reasons, it would take too long.

    I would like to know what positive things Dubya has done for this country. Please name some. About the only thing I can name is the strong stance he took after 9/11 in Afghanistan. I can think of little else. Yet I can name (as I have) a large number of things he has screwed up.

    I too hope Bush gets Bin Laden, but he's had more than 4 years to do it and hasn't come close. By the way, I survived THE 9/11. I was on the 50th fl of the south tower when the first plane hit. I was still in the building, in a 16th fl stairwell, when the second plane hit.

    As to Red China having nuclear weapons, where have you been? Red China has been a nuclear power for years! I don't believe ANYONE should have nuclear weapons. Because this world will not survive a nuclear war.

    You need to wake up to the reality of today's world.

    Thanks Fred. I have told the story on occasion, but its not something I like to speak of. I mentioned it in this case, because I feel it gives a weight of experience and background to my opinions here.

    I don't consider myself "blessed". The blessing would have been if it hadn't happened at all. I can't believe that some entity chose me to live and others to die. I can't believe that an entity that could pick would have allowed the tragedy to happen in the first place.

    I am not a pacifist, but neither am I a hawk. I'm a realist first and foremost. The reality to me is that war should always be a last resort. That war should be engaged in as a defense against attack.

    I don't want to get Underdog and his friend Sweet Poly Purebred going again but I just wanted to comment to ScottGem that I really am glad you came out unscathed and with a strong appreciation for the art of diplomacy when it comes to anilation of an entire planet. I have, in previous posts, sensed a certain element in your posts that only comes with having "been to the gates of hell and back and now i'm not trifling" attitude. You truly understand what is at stake. I personally have no idea what it is like to have your world crashing down around your feet but I have a suspicion it isn't good. I don't want that for anyone and all I am saying is that things are heading that way really fast. When Bush went into Iraq it was not for the reason he gave us. That leads me to believe we are being lied to. With the stakes as they are, this isn't the time to be in the dark.

    Thanks for the nice comments Mag. I caught the history bug when I was about 8 and went to Gettysburg on vacation. I wound up getting my BA in Poli Sci (and now I'm a computer geek, go figure). So, some of my opinions go back before my WTC experience.

    I'm not sure which conspiracy theories you refer to. People like a conspiracy. So such rumors will always grow around an event like that. I read, just the other day, that a great deal of what they know about the terrorists comes from luggage that didn't make it onto one of the WTC planes. Apparently Atta, the attack leader, and one other boarded a commuter plane to Boston in Portland Me. They got there only 15 minutes before the flight and checked their luggage. Because of the rush, the luggage never made it onto the flight from Logan. The FBI took possession of the 3 bags and found a lot of the info that told them who the hijackers were, what their plans were etc.

    Basically I agree with everything scottgem has to say! I am glad that you can live to tell about a terrible tragedy such as "911" SO many people can't. You are right, it should have never happened. As for why we are in Iraq, I think people have their facts mixed up about why we are there. It is not to kill Bin Laden. He is somewhere getting high in a mountain top because Bush LET HIM get away. I don't think that 911 and the reason we are currently in Iraq have ANYTHING to do with one another. Hillbilly Bush and Topshooter Chaney are just doing what they were raised to do... Be ignorant men hiding behind guns, that they think make them look tough.
