I'm rather enjoying this antichrist stuff.

Of course, as an atheist, I don't buy into either Christ or anti-Christ stuff, but to the extent it moves thise who do, well, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

I grew up with an aunt (who I loved very much) who was a Jehovah's Witness, and their literature when she visited (which she was always leaving around my house despite my parents objections) and every news story involving politicians was taken as an "end times" warning. The world was ending in 1965, 1970, 1975 and so on.

After a time, while loving her, I was simply amused. As it happened, I feel she helped me toward atheism although that was obviously not her intent.

I have always objected to religion in politics but there seems to be oodles of it now, but at least they're increasingly confused about which side they're on.

These are terrible times and whatever helps to close them is fine with me.
