If I was the Anti-Christ…
Weirdest comment ever left on my site, courtesy of on-again-off-again gadfly Mark S:
I guess if I were to ever ask Tim Boucher a truly honest and sincere question; Or if I were to have the luxory of meeting such an extraordinary man face to face, and have the ability to relinquish this hot burning question from my mind… To at least pretend for that moment, that this question was of great sincerity and importance and to get a response of equal candor to the question; That is if Tim Boucher, If you were told by a group of extremely powerful, unprecedently high influential men that you were in fact “The Antichrist, then what would you do?” How would you act upon that very real token of power? Would that in truth be your honest burning desire come true? Would you then be thinking about how great it would be to dump this stupid blog and actually create a real power legionhood in the real world, to initiate a worldwide human following and finally put an end to this Archonic Christian hell that has pervaded throughout the millenia? Would that fulfill your darkest wishes and deepest desires that you have dreamt about, endlessly ever since you always knew that Christianity was a lie?… If you had that power, if it were one day given to you, would you then wonder if you could make everything you’ve ever dreamt of come true, to actually change the world and make it happen?… To destroy Christianity and finally make your dark burning hatred for Christ himself real and your hatred for everything remotely related to Christianity become a reality? Would you act upon that token of power if you had it? Or would you just remain happy and content with it being just a plain wish, to rant out about it from time to time at your comfort and leisure in the safety of online blogworld?
Boy, you must be a blast at parties, huh? “Hey baby, what would you do if I told you I was the Anti-Christ?”

LoL, I think you seriously wish you were… If you actually believe in the literal interpretation of the verses in the bible that ultimately allude to there one day being, “The Antichrist,” The son of perdition, the one who will destroy all opposing Christians and unite the entire world under a one world religion - A Tim Boucher style of gnostic theocracy if you will, I think you would probably do it in a heartbeat. All I can say is, keep working at it bud, who knows maybe someday if you’re lucky. Perhaps once your blog starts getting half a million to a million hits a day, then maybe we can start talking serious about your prospects of being that one, true Antichrist… wuahahahaha (evil laugh) snickerz
The word antichrist is derived from the original New Testament Greek word pronounced antichristos, which means someone who opposes, and/or takes the place of, the true Messiah.

“I write to you, not because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth. Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. He who confesses the Son has the Father also.”
(1 John 2:21-23 RSV)

So you really believe that I’m totally opposed to Christianity? What makes you think that?

Seriously, I think Tim is a human being I will pass no judgement on him for it sayeth in the bible “Pass no judgement, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned; acquit, and you will be acquitted; give, and gifts will be given you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap; for whatever measure you deal out to others will be dealt to you in return.”(Luke ’something’ESP)
So in other words if my girlfriend gets fat I am not to pass judgement on her. The same goes for my cute lil’ puppy when he rolls in his dog poop. I wonder what I am going to get for gifts for not passing judgement. I hope dogs have an after-life filled with bunny rabbits and lollipops. Lastly I wish gnostic christianity won- win some and loose some.

Christians need to be more concerned about love, fogiveness, humility, compassion, comforting the sick, helping the poor, humility, and having reverence for life.
The focus should not be on the Anti-Christ or end times or other countless speculations.
Jesus did not give exceptions to his rule of brotherly love. If one’s focus is on the anti-christ it is serving as an illusion to keep one’s focus from the truth and passion of God’s love. The anti-christ is not a person but an idea- I say kill the idea.

If I was
The Antichrist
I tell you what I’d do
I’d throw away the cars and the bars and the wars
And I’d make sweet love to you.
It would have been considered heretical by 99% of Christians who have ever lived to expect “The Antichrist” to usher in the Rapture. These concepts are thoroughly modern and violate traditional Biblical interpretations.

Wow Tim, this guy is more than a bit nutty. As I read the post the question started to turn in my mind with some interesting implications but the guy devolved into a wackjob. It’s too bad because if you did find out you were the Anti-christ what would you do?
What’s best is this guy really things you are some kind of Anti-christian zealot - one that is worthy of a well written denunciation. I could easily think of 50 other people more worthy of his attacks.
But even more laughable is just how typical this guys is; you could not have drawn a more common represenation of the worst of “christians” if you had purchased a factory-direct American Christian Zombie from the place that produces them en masse. Some sort of Bauhausian building that uses the gideon’s bible mashed up with saltines, cardboard, unbought Bill O’rielly books and bits of profound egocentrism with a severe shortage of self-awareness.
So answer the question, What would you do?

Anyone read Nietzche’s The Anti-Christ? It becomes clear that he is not necessarily against Christ but the decadence he witnessed infesting Christianity in the late 19th Century.
I think his book encapsules the best definition of the phrase “antichrist”– there is so much connotation that goes with that title.
With all the hubbub about the Gospel of Judas, no one ever considers that Judas is seen as an Anti-Christ unto himself, when really he was one of Christ’s closet devotees.
The line I’m trying to draw here is: those who oppose Christ do so because they were too close to Christ at one time. It can be argued as such in the case of Satan and Judas– can’t we argue that for AC as well?

Not to make a none-too-subtle allusion to Dogma here, but I always thought it would make an interesting story if the Antichrist and the Christ were actually best friends, sorta like Bartleby and Loki. They understood their roles in the cosmic sense but also knew that they could not exist without the other, and so form a close friendship. One that none if their followers ever suspected, which of course is of great amusement to both of them.

How can anybody answer that question? Its preposterous. What would I do if I found out I was actually Santa Claus or Micke Mouse or George W. Bush?
Interesting though: because if I was Santa Claus, I would know then that it was my destiny to deliver toys to children the world over one night a year. Likewise, if I was the Anti-Christ, I guess I would have to fulfill my role as well. I mean, after all, the whole thing was God’s plan from the beginning - wasn’t it? Really, it might even be easier in a sense to find that out, because it would mean I would have a clear-cut path carved out for my life, unlike right now, which is filled with turmoil and doubt.
Although, Last Temptation of Christ I think does a great job of explaining how even if you knew exactly you’re destiny, you’re still gonna be plagued with those types of doubts and failures - maybe even moreso, because your notion of free will and individual identity would rebel against it.
So maybe that means I would fail in my duty as Anti-Christ as well. Hard to say I guess.
April 10th, 2006 at 5:09 pm
Questions of destiny and free will aside, choosing any action once you know your “purpose” becomes problematic. Forgetting the problems with semantics consider Santa’s position a Job but AC’s a role.
Consider that Satan might be better served by an unknowing, unaware AC. So, if you found out prematurely you were such a person, what would you do? If JC was gonna come kill you anyway would you still attempt to assert your power? Or would you commit that heaven-barring sin of suicide and thus still be doomed to hell? Or could you get into heaven by facilitating JC’s victory?

What’s wrong with opposing Christianity? Look at one photo from the Hubble Space Telescope and you know for sure that Christianity is BS. We’re not so important that “God’s only son” would beam down to planet Earth - a tiny grain of sand in the cosmos.

I’d be like spark up a bone it’s time for a roadtrip!!!
woo hoo

This is hilarious on so many levels that it actually eventually cancels out the hilarity.
What if Mark S. is the antichrist? What if one of the marks (see that? “marks” = mark+s) of being the antichrist is to exhibit an overbearing delusionality that you can glean the content of a man’s heart by what he posts to the Internet? If Tim were the antichrist mark+s, what truly could you as a humble Christian possibly do about it? Doesn’t prophecy ordain that the antichrist is a foregone conclusion? What if the freedoms you infer Tim enjoys are actually a reflection of the very core of subliminal programming that feeds off and ultimately suffocates your once human soul that is now completely subsumed by the will of satan? Finally, what if, the antichrist will never be aware of his infamous position in the Grand Cosmic Scheme until he’s finally relgated himself to pariah status by way of his interminable obnoxiousness? What if? LOL.
Tim has never sought to judge your heart mark+s. Yet you do. Hmmmm. Seems I’ve heard a warning about that somewhere. Nope, it’s actually a blessing. A blessing! Jesus didn’t just smite.
He also mentioned this as far as knowing one’s own heart:
You come here to curse Tim regularly. Tim has kept you and your comments around because, as I know Tim, he intriniscally respects you. Do the math and pray to God you yourself are not who is spoken in of in fulfillment of scripture.

Wow. That was a heavy read. If you were the antichrist, I’m pretty sure you’d be up to bigger and better things than this lil old website. Jeez, try open a few minds and you get nuked!
