No. You are wrong.

A while back I linked to some guy's livejournal page where he speculated that Barack Obama might be the antichrist. I had a good chuckle, but I felt a little guilty since you can probably find any opinion on somebody's livejournal these days.

I am significantly more concerned about Newsweek's measured and even handed article entitled, Is Obama the Antichrist? Some things really don't need to be reported as if there was more than one legitimate point of view.

"No wonder, then, that Obama triggers such fear in the hearts of America's millennialist Christians. Mat Staver, dean of Liberty University's law school, says he does not believe Obama is the Antichrist, but he can see how others might. Obama's own use of religious rhetoric belies his liberal positions on abortion and traditional marriage, Staver says, positions that "religious conservatives believe will threaten their freedom." The people who believe Obama is the Antichrist are perhaps jumping to conclusions, but they're not nuts: "They are expressing a concern and a fear that is widely shared," Staver says."

Really, Mat Staver? Really?
