South Carolina mayor ‘just curious’ if Obama is the antichrist.»

Fort Hill, SC Mayor Danny Funderburk said he forwarded a chain email suggesting Barack Obama is the antichrist because he was “just curious” if it was true:

“I was just curious if there was any validity to it,” Funderburk said in a telephone interview. “I was trying to get documentation if there was any scripture to back it up.”

The e-mail, which has circulated in the last six months, claims the biblical book of Revelation says the antichrist will be in his 40s and of Muslim ancestry. The Charlotte Observer reports, “There is no such scripture. And Obama is not a Muslim. But that hasn’t stopped the e-mail.” In March, CNN’s Glenn Beck wondered aloud “Is Obama the antichrist?“

A person can safely place their political compass by setting it in the opposite position as Beck.

Nobody named Funderburk is going to be taken seriously.
There was a guy in basic named Hardenwack. You never listen to guys with names like that. You clown them into submission then make them sweep the floor for Chesterfield Kings and Fruitcake.

It's probably some sort of annoymous gag or spoof/satire.

They may as well used "Funky Winklebean".

I had it out w/a so-called friend a few months back about the same thing. He was calling him the Osama Christ.

Besides, if these nutjobs are following the evangelicals, they have been saying for years the anti-Christ would come from the EU. And so have been specific enough to say from Spain.

Is Obama Attila the Hun? We'd better print a book saying he is just to double check.

WTF?

Umm, and how would the book of Revelations state that the Antichrist would be of Muslim descent when Muslims didn't exist yet?

Sigh. How many times must I tell people (not the informed people on this board) that the book of Revelations does NOT say that the Antichrist will be as Muslim because there was no such thing as a Muslim at the time the Book of Revelations. Muhammad, the founder of the Muslim religion wasn't born until 570CE.

That's funny. Bet he never lived it down either.

Like the guy in my flight, kept blowing on the mirror on the camera. So the brother taking the picture told him it wasn't a Charms Blow Pop...Blow pop from then on!
