It's Official: Obama Isn't the Anti-Christ

Saturday August 30, 2008
Obama Isn't Anti-Christ

You may have heard that Internet rumor that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ. One expert in Biblical mysticism says that's just impossible.

Obama's overwhelming charisma, his ability to whip up a crowd, has fueled such rumors, but Pastor Harry of Satansrapture.com tells Wireless Flash that when the real Anti-Christ comes, “He’ll be in a white robe, not a three-piece campaign suit."

Pastor Harry maintains that numberology confirms Obama's status. The letters of the real Anti-Christ will add up to 666. Barack Obama's adds up to 356. The Buffalo preacher says he hopes his research saves the Democratic candidate from lunatics.
