LMAO - The History Channel - where the truth.. is history.
Grow up.

By the way, I am not a christian, I am a satanist, but a true satanist does not believe in heaven or hell, or punishment in the after life. Life is our heaven and hell. I dont think a god created us, i think we are either "evolved bacteria" or maybe even a species created by an advanced alien race., but what I am getting at here is that their are truly evil people out there. I used the term anti christ in order to desribe a person who can influence in such a manner that they can be only described as anti-christ.

Oh the anti-Christ... Christianity's boogey man. Every generation someone is being accused of being one, just like every generation has its sure-fire apocalypses that never end up happening. The whole good/evil paradigm is so tired. There is no Satan and there is no Hell. In the Old Testament, Hell is simply the absence of God. In other words, when you deny God from your life, you live in Hell. That's it. No fire, no brimstone, nothing. Everyone is inherently good and everyone gets into heaven - no exceptions. Even the worst of the worst (as humans) get into heaven (as souls).
You make heaven or hell right in the here and now depending on your own perceptions. No waiting!
As for the anti-Christ... there have been plenty of horrible atrocities already committed by people, most of them unimaginable. You can take any given dictator or key player in those events and suggest they were the anti-Christ for tipping the scales toward suffering and chaos; but the truth is that they were human, just like you and I. The idea of an anti-Christ keeps you a fearful customer of the Church. If Jesus didn't talk about an anti-Christ then I don't care what some fanatic said 200 years later about it. Having a Christ and an anti-Christ was some poor sap's inevitable analogy to good and evil. If Christ is pure good, then surely there must be a character representing pure evil, right? Every story's gotta have one, even Hollywood knows this!
These opposing forces DO NOT EXIST. It's a false duality that enslaves billions of people's minds. You are with God right now. The connection is always there. You don't go to heaven when you die, you are one with divinity this very moment. You're already perfect and worthy.
