We all know about Satan, as for the anti-Christ, we've had no shortage of contenders, from Ronald Wilson Reagan (count the letters, tee hee) to Fred Phelps and Joseph Stalin. Might even give a (dis)honorable mention to Pat Robertson.
As for a false prophet, shit, no shortage of those, Christianity is replete and chock a block full of them. From Joe Smith to Joseph Franklin Rutherford one can scarcely look at a Christian schism or denomination without finding prophets (or prophetesses) who get things wrong wrong wrong.
So, the situation is murky. We'd be looking not for just a false prophet, but THE false prophet.
Any particular turd seem to rise to the top of the septic tank to anyone ??
Only the devout Christian will recognize the anti-christ and false prophet.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Hang on ..... one minute, all that untestable stuff is beyond our universe and into the supernatural domain.
Now you tell us that the antichrist is easy to detect in the here and now?
Are you sure you're not telling us more popsicles?

Sunni and Shiite folklore approve the anti-christ theory; with lots of Hadith speaking about his coming, and his "miracles", like "cutting a man into two then attaching him back together", having a donkey with so much distance between the poor thing's ears (I think 70 arms ?). Some say the donkey is an airplane and the wingspan is the distance between the ears.
And during his reign; huge battles will take place with apocalyptic scenarios.
I think it's a rip off from Christianity.
The Quran has no mention of the anti-christ and actually foretells a very different scenario.

Or the "True Christian", no doubt. How devout are you when you lie so much?

Devout isn't synonymous with True.
Doesn't work that way. One can be VERY devout and nevertheless WRONG WRONG WRONG.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

As a general rule "devout" seems to be synonymous with "fucked up."

If hearing the term "devout" isn't cringingly embarrassing enough to cause a bit of vomit to appear in your mouth, then "He is in a state of grace" should do it.
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

Too many, they were more interested in being the first to be right than doing God's will.
