Who is Antichrist?

[Mister Agenda]

My dad didn't tell me Obama was the antichrist. He told me Obama was the herald of the antichrist.

Presumably, when thinking of people who distrust their own government and the UN, there's a high correlation with conservatism, and in the US there's a high correlation between conservatism and religious belief, particularly Christian religious belief, and especially Evangelical Protestant and Mormon religious belief. It is a traditional privilege of minorities to not have to list out all the exceptions to observations about a well-known majority, and taken as written that there are exceptions to the general rule and no one really thinks the observation is supposed to apply to all members of the group under discussion without exception. In the opposite case, the observations are often both inaccurate and intended to reinforce existing oppressive or suppressive treatment. Being a member of a criticized majority that defends the majority on the ground that 'we're not all like that' is almost always a case of obscuring the point.

In the USA we have a Christian Dominionist in the White House and a legislature and court system where Christians are disproportionately represented over their occurrence in the general population. A significant portion of those Christians believe that our laws should be based on their religious beliefs, and in the case of Dominionists, that conservative Evangelical Protestants should be in charge of an American theocracy. But when we complain about that sort of thing, we're supposed to cater to the feelings of the Christians who aren't like that. But if they're not like that, they should feel secure in the knowledge that they're not like that and not try to switch the tracks of the conversation to how they're not all like that. The point is not that they're all like that. The point is that TOO MANY of them are like that.
