I thought I’d take a look at the Have your say section of the BBC news website. One of the topics up for discussion was the drop in Sterling. Having glanced through the usual right-wing nutter claptrap you get in these sort of discussion forums (Please see my earlier post regarding the A to Z of right wing on-line commentating), I came across a totally new class of nutter.
And this is what he had to say:
“It is my view that this so-called global economic crisis has been contrived by the Iluminati and those involved in the New World Order in order to create the conditions for the introduction of a universal cashless society and one world government. Shortly will be the emergence of the new world leader that the Bible describes as the anti-Christ. As a Christian I am not worried about the pound because my trust is not in the failing humanistic and material values of this world.”
Erm, right.
So how does someone like this come to the conclusion that a world leader is the Anti-Christ? I am aware of certain evangelical Christians who genuinely believe that Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ, I can only presume this is what this fellow is alluding to.
What kind of brainwashing have these gullible people been through to believe this? And more importantly should they ever bee allowed to access the Internet?
Sorry I’m having one of those days in which I give my say to almost everything. I think it’s quite nice that the Christians aren’t bothered about this, putting their faith in religion and not the world. But to think Barack Obama is the Anti-Christ, sounds a bit racist to me.
