It isn't ever entirely random. They thought Obama was the Antichrist because they thought he was a Muslim, and a common interpretation of the Book of Revelations is that the final war of Armageddon will be a nuclear war between Christianity and Islam, after a New World Order/One World Government established by the Antichrist.
- scoofy 8mo agoI've never heard of that interpretation before. My parents did not think he was a Muslim.
- krapp 8mo agoI have heard it, and people thinking he was a Muslim was definitely common, so I don't know what to tell you.
- esalman 8mo agoThis interpretation is a conspiracy theory driven by 9/11. If it was not, Saudis would be America's biggest enemy, not the most trusted ally after Israel.
