They Come In All Sorts

Wow.  I just got the most unbelievable email from some cult leader.  (It’s comforting to know I made it on his mailing list!)  It went on and on about how Barack Obama is the Antichrist.  It was more entertaining than I’d thought imaginable!  It quotes from “Book Twelve, Chapter Forty-Eight” of–and I promise I’m not making this up–“the Mountain Prophecies.”

I’m sure many of you would get a kick out of reading the whole thing, but I’m not posting it here because I don’t want to spread such nonsense.  But I do have to share one of the funniest parts: the conclusive evidence that was offered to prove that Obama is the Antichrist is that there are 18 letters in his full name.  The email very ominously points out that 18 = 6 + 6 + 6… 666.

Yeah, I didn’t believe him until he got to that part.  Now I’m convinced.

Incidentally, I’m apparently one letter away from being the Antichrist myself.  Whew, that was close!  Better count the letters in your own name!

It’s really amazing to consider the variety of people that exist.

    OH no, KYLE THOMAS MCDANIEL is 18 letters, certainly I’m not the AntiChrist! pray for me!

    Don’t feel too bad, Kyle. My wife’s name is also 18 letters. I just thought maybe I shouldn’t point that out. But I’ll pray for you just in case!

    Um…Add me to prayer list. I’m also 18. The Anti Christ’s not a girl, right??

    I don’t think so, so you should be off the hook. Worse case scenario, you might be the Antichristi, but for whatever it’s worth, you don’t seem that conflicted to me.
