- Zarimus, on 05/28/2009, -5/+148Give it up people, the Rapture already happened. Jesus himself said it would happen within the lifetimes of the people he was speaking to, so either he was a) wrong or b) lying. If he was the Messiah then neither of those could be true and all the good people were already taken to heaven. You're about 2000 years too late for salvation and the Antichrist is long dead.
- tgjerusalem, on 05/28/2009, -4/+110Glad to know Wasilla's reporters are attacking the serious problems the "real news" doesn't want to touch; identifying which stigmatized minority groups the antichrist will come from!
Now that we've confirmed he'll be a *****, can we get down to the specifics of whether he'll be a Jew or a Muslim too? And will he be a godless commie pinko queer from the EU (a la Left Behind), or a godless baby raping middle-eastern terrorist?
And remember, it's not mean-spirited socially disruptive irresponsible bigotry if you've got some bible quotes in there.
/s - kplo, on 05/28/2009, -1/+96There's an awesome gay dating ad on that site right now.
- Dipsomaniac, on 05/29/2009, -4/+86That article was so stupid, I think it gave me cancer.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -1/+72Oh but the classic argument for bible "scholars" is that everything is symbolic, so when he said he was coming back before that generation passed he really meant thousands of years later! But then that only applies to certain things. They like to cherry pick what is literal and what is symbolic. Pretty much anything that proves the bible is wrong is all of a sudden now "symbolic" and really means something else.
Right. - tgjerusalem, on 05/28/2009, -4/+67Need to point out - this person is ***** crazy. They've fixated on queers, but it could just as easily be Jews or Commies or 'race traitors' or anyone else a crazy person might obsessively fixate upon. This is full-on, bunker in the woods stockpiling guns for the impending holy war level crazy.
There are an unfortunately large number of ***** crazy people in the world, but they're still outliers, and this bit of foaming-at-the-mouth crazy from the heart of Alaskan meth country represents a particularly dramatic lunatic fringe. These people are dangerous, but not that numerous, and they aren't representative of Christianity as a whole any more than Timothy McVeigh is a representative of Libertarianism.
Unicorn chaser to restore some faith in the non-crazy people of the world (including religious people):

Video produced by faith leaders from various traditions explaining their support for marriage equality. A bit old, but still good. - leftofthecenter, on 05/30/2009, -1/+58FTA: "there is no greater way to reject the Creator than to reject your gender and his design for it"
Sure, which is why priests take an oath of celibacy. - huff51, on 05/30/2009, -1/+54ohh but there is a really good explanation if you just tilt your head slightly. when he said he was coming back before that generation passed he really meant it could be anytime. its simple.

That took me about 10 seconds to find on Google.
It's called not being lazy. - inactive, on 05/29/2009, -0/+38LOL! But they'll take gay's advertising dollars... and use it to spread the word of GOD!

www.AtlantisEvents.com" - AngelaQ, on 05/29/2009, -3/+37It looks like maybe they closed comments on that article. But my props to the reverend for reminding me of why I don't want to spend my tourism dollars in Alaska.
- why3th, on 05/30/2009, -1/+35Honestly could not finish the article because of how insane the whole ***** mess was, and how I could literally feel my blood pressure sky rocket. This is the second anti-homosexual article I've read today, the first being in the Courier-Journal of Lousiville, KY. The CJ article talked about how a decorated Air Force pilot was being forced out of the military due to his sexual orientation. I mean, here is a man who served his country by abandoning common sense and logic to fly in a metal tube at break neck speeds over patches of land with people shooting little metal pellets and big metal pellets at you, carrying hundreds of pounds of explosive material and our Military has the gall to say "No, because you like men we can't let you continue to serve." ***** mind blowing.
In closing, I want someone to explain this to me: how does one justify homosexuality as an abomination without referencing religious texts? - felman87, on 05/30/2009, -1/+35@stuff
The only people who call him that are Republicans, who idolize Reagan so much, you'd think he, not Obama, was the antichrist. - inactive, on 05/29/2009, -1/+34Correction: the anti-christ is black, gay, atheist, and a women who believes in affirmative action. Did I mention she believes in the voodoo science of evolution? Did I mention she's transsexual? Did I mention...okay I'll stop.
- captspaulding, on 05/30/2009, -3/+36Oh he's coming back! He sure is, any day now. years, decades, centuries, and millennia past but don't worry. He on his way. Any day now.

No. "Democrats" do not call him the messiah. There may be some people out there who do, but Democrats, as a group, do not. - inactive, on 05/29/2009, -2/+31they just wanted to visualize a muscular demon pumping them in the ass with his forked red schlong..
- noarcher, on 05/30/2009, -4/+32I live in Wasilla. This article was written in the Faith section of a small town newspaper. What the HELL is a FAITH section doing in a "news"paper? News is supposed to be based off of fact, not (yep... send the torches my way) fiction = the bible. Feel free to write a letter to the opinion column, bet get your crap out of the "news"paper.
- copypastry, on 05/30/2009, -0/+27The antichrist couldn't technically be atheist because in order to oppose god, you need to believe he exists.
- zephc, on 05/30/2009, -1/+28Compassionate because if they are, they think they'll get a big reward, and if theyre not, they'll be pushished? That's not compassion, that's egocentric

- appleofdischord, on 05/30/2009, -1/+25Unfortunately christian charity is too often given only to other christians.
Religion is a great tool to band people together... and to set them apart. - GlassAgate, on 05/30/2009, -4/+28Why is Obama the anti-Christ? I thought that the anti-Christ was
supposed to be someone who was suppose to claim to be Christ.
Anywho, it's all bronze age superstition to me anyhow. - Shogun213, on 05/30/2009, -0/+24Jesus loves the little children

- tigerpixel, on 05/29/2009, -1/+23No, Danzig isn't gay!
- bigbangbuddha, on 05/30/2009, -7/+29OMFG, its a freaking book of ancient myths, why is there even an argument about this? Chances that Jesus actually existed... 0%. Chances this is cult lore that has been passed around the Mediterranean and asia for thousands of years 100%. There is no rapture, no antichrist, and no christ either! The universe just doesn't work that way! Stop believing in fairy tales and join the living. If all the religious nuts in this world would start thinking about the here and now instead of the hereafter maybe we could actually fix some of the problems that are plaguing us. I swear the more I see discussions like this I'm starting to think Marx was right.
- copypastry, on 05/30/2009, -0/+22Nope, I'm straight.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -4/+25Actually Stuff,
Dems don't call him the messiah... the only one's who do...are right wing talibangelical hacks on religious blogs and phony news sites. - dhjackburton, on 05/30/2009, -7/+28………………….._,,-~’’’¯¯¯’’~-,,

If you don't want to be associated with this filth, then either renounce them or make a clear distinction. Don't let these bigots hide behind you. - dotsona, on 05/30/2009, -4/+23***** Palin, stupid bitch.
- inactive, on 05/30/2009, -2/+21It's a town of like 5000 in Alaska...do you expect a worldly opinion. We really dodged a bullet by not electing her. Sad to say, I still know people who claim "I didn't think she was THAT baaaad!"...
- hollywoodphony, on 05/30/2009, -3/+22Ron Hamman is pastor for Independent Baptist Church of Wasilla. Contact him at 357-4229.
Hmm, if anybody knew that the area code was 907, they would totally be able to call him from all over the world! - Toshibi, on 05/30/2009, -0/+19Oh snap!
- SystemicThought, on 05/30/2009, -1/+19Darn it. They screen and moderate comments. Can't troll.
So I left three sensible comments instead (the first use of the word homosexual, the notion that Sodom was destroyed for a lack of hospitality, rather than sexual deviance, and that since jesus was celibate, the antichrist would be hedonistically hypersexual and ignore gender in his sexual conquests and this would not make him a homosexual but a pansexual.)
I encourage you to let them have the what for. Diggers don't always show it, but you're all educated, intelligent people capable of critical thinking and thoughtful debate. Make some common sense statements, flood their comments, be respectful but oppositional. Hate is not a Christian value. - Moz34, on 05/30/2009, -2/+19This is why the Bible is pretty much useless other than as a means to give more "oomph" to the opinions you already have.
On the other hand, I do find justification for my not eating shellfish... next step: legislation! - binky78, on 05/30/2009, -1/+18Wait, when did Alaska get internet?
- JigoroKano, on 05/30/2009, -2/+19Correction:
chance that Jesus actually existed: 50%
chance that flying, magic, zombie Jesus actually existed: 0% - Baylorod, on 05/30/2009, -3/+19Who cares if the antichrist is gay...Jesus had 2 dads...apparently the bible's okay with that.
- pandawa, on 05/30/2009, -3/+19all i can say is, thank God this bitch wasn't elected and the American people showed some sense.
- IgorUnchained, on 05/30/2009, -1/+16I have to admit that was the first thing I thought of when I read this....."what the HELL is a FAITH section doing in a "news" paper?"
Ive lived in TINY towns most of my life, and have never seen that before.
I bet Wassilla is the one place in America where O Reilly and the Right are actually winning the War on Christmas. - cosworth99, on 05/30/2009, -3/+18Did Jesus build his hot rod yet?
- buddamus, on 05/30/2009, -2/+17Human stupidity knows no bounds
- digitalArtform, on 05/30/2009, -1/+15"Having seen what the Bible says of sodomy, we have no further to look than the book of Daniel, chapter 11 to find our answer."
...actually sodomy is big all over. Not just with gays. I hear anal is the new oral. - noarcher, on 05/30/2009, -1/+15PLEASE, not ALL of us Alaskans are pure morons like this j@ck@$$! These people are very much the minority up here & Palin's numbers are down - hey, I didn't vote for her. I actually volunteered for the Obama campaign in her home town of Wasilla, where I live.
Don't lump us all into the same big 'ol box of stupid. Besides, Alaska is an incredibly beautiful state - don't allow a couple of (I'd say "simple-minded" - but even that gives too much credit...) lower life forms from seeing everything else this state has to offer. -
