This is my favorite. It's pretty cute. Not a BIG horn, mind you. Just a little one. But so pesky.

Coincidences are nothing new to history, Professor. You're grasping at straws. Ever heard of the Lincoln-Kennedy coincidences?

Quote:Comparison of events

The following chart compares the amazing coincidences in the deaths of Lincoln and Kennedy. Some items that are commonly listed in this comparison have been deleted as incorrect, thanks to reader feedback.

Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946

He was elected President in 1860


He was elected President in 1960

The assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was known by three names, comprised of fifteen letters


The assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald, was known by three names, comprised of fifteen letters

Booth shot Lincoln in a theater and fled to a warehouse *3


Oswald shot Kennedy from a warehouse and fled to a theater

Booth was killed before being brought to trial


Oswald was killed before being brought to trial

There were theories that Booth was part of a greater conspiracy


There were theories that Oswald was part of a greater conspiracy

Lincoln's successor was Andrew Johnson, born in 1808


Kennedy's successor was Lyndon Johnson, born in 1908

*1 Note: It is an urban myth that Lincoln had a secretary named Kennedy. There is no record of that.

*2 Note: There is no record whether or not Kennedy's secretary warned him.

*3 Note: Booth actually fled to a farm and was killed in a tobacco barn. It might be a stretch to call it a warehouse. But two years after his death, Booth's body was temporarily moved to a warehouse. Also, after the assassination, the government closed the Ford Theatre and turned it into a warehouse.
Other interesting facts

Apparently Lincoln had a dream several days before the assassination that he had been killed. He told his wife that he had seen himself in a casket.

Also, Lincoln's son Tad had a pet turkey named Jack. Tad asked his father not to kill the turkey for Thanksgiving. Although Harry S Truman started the official tradition, Lincoln was the first to "pardon" a Thanksgiving turkey.

Now what would be real interesting is if Kennedy had a pet named Abe or had pardoned someone by that name. Thus far, I haven't heard of that.
Skeptics disagree

Some skeptics say that you could take any two famous people and find a number of similar-type coincidences between them. The only problem with that theory is that there really haven't been any listings of such comparisons. And certainly none has been as extensive as the Lincoln-Kennedy similarities.

Summary

Facts concerning the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy are amazingly similar. It is uncertain if such coincidences have any meaning, but they certainly are strange.

People have been predicting things from the dawn of time. Remember just last year how Dec 21, 2012 was supposed to be the end of the world because of the Mayan calendar and stuff? Here's a reminder:

http://buburuza.net/2008/08/seven-reason...tifically/

I'll tell you a secret: The end of the world is 10 months overdue. According to the Bible, it's around 1,950 years overdue.

There is no way to predict far-fetched religious ideas. People are only VERY rarely right, showing it's all thanks to chance, not prophecy.

But he was also being regaled as a god and a king by adoring masses. When the pharisees grumbled about this, Jesus told them that if the people had not raised their voices in praise, "the stones would cry out." How humble is it to require praise so desperately that you would've demanded that inanimate objects pick up the slack if the locals hadn't been enthusiastic enough?

Did you ever give thought to a different meaning of what Christ said. Let's look at this one, as impossible as it is for stones to speak, it was as impossible for the people not to praise Christ.

I am impressed with the brightness of the minds who reside here.
And I am not being sarcastic.

Anyway, "Anti" means against or opposed.
For example, I work with large drive motors (electric) and we have the drive side of the motor (the part that drives a machine) and the anti- drive side.

Anti-Christ means opposed to Christ.
This has to be some form of man as that was the form Christ came in.

There are a bunch of other titles to the Impostor, the man of sin,the little horn, the Assyrian, the son of perdition, the false messiah.

Satan was created by God in another realm, who decided to do his own thing (actually- his intention was to boot God and take over).
For all this time, he and his minions have been Man's test.
After all, to make a thoughtful choice- there must be some alternative. Just as in the Garden.
He and all with him are due to be stuffed in a deep pit for a millennium.
Hope that answer helps.

I was being sarcastic.

I feel a little bad now that you spent the time to type out an actual reply. But at the same time insulted that a mention of antimatter is apparently enough to surprise you because everyone knows about antimatter, it's either you're very easily impressed or your original opinion of people on this forum was extremely low.

You know it's quite impossible for Obama to be the Antichrist. After all, I'm the Antichrist. Because of beer, and sin, or something.

Kneel, suckers.

Apparently, you are the anti-anti-Christ. There can only be one of me.

No, wait. Two negatives is a positive, so the anti-anti-christ would be Christ, and that's obviously wrong, despite the long hair and beard.

I don't even like gefilte fish. Ergo, anti-christ. QED.

Can I be the Unclechrist?

What if Christ is a woman?

I can be Christa.

I can also be anything else you want me to be.

2 Corinthians 11:14
And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.
