This is terrible, they are wrong, obviously. But stop flaming the kid for saying what if he was the antichrist. We are supposed to question everything, he will find he's wrong if he continues his questioning, and you're welcome to point that out, but being mean and derogative makes you no better. He's still questioning, don't ever put someone down for questioning, give them an answer politely. Whoever pointed out that the antichrist can't be stopped by man's will, THAT is the way to address such a question. Not "You're a horrible person who disgusts me."

You just appear to be targeting everyone for their personal opinions.
I am targeting opinions that belie a history of judgment. A cult is cursed for taking precautions, but a church is glorified for promoting disease? A baby being burned is atrocious, but gay persecution is completely acceptable? Give me a break.
Nurture vs Nature, people can be raised to be good and caring people.
So if the Antichrist were to be real, you believe that your caring ways can thwart the best laid plans of an omnipotent and omniscient god?edit on 27-4-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
If a god is omnipotent then there can infact be no antigod. If there was that would make said god not omnipotent because some other entity has power.
The trick is knowing which button to push.
I guess we just found it.

I am targeting opinions that belie a history of judgment. The reactions here are purely emotional. If we were to look at it logically, I think everyone here would realize the hypocrisy. Dozens of babies are left in LA dumpsters by prostitutes every month, but we never hear a single word about it. Dozens of babies die due to neglect and abuse, but we never hear about it. One baby dies in a freak cult incident, and there's an uproar over it. Do we get any recognition for the hundreds and thousands of babies that have died in other unfortunate circumstances?

Not unless the Christian god willingly allows the existence of ultimate evil as a final test of his followers' allegiance. Not that I approve, but it's not that hard to understand psychopathic psychology.edit on 27-4-2013 by AfterInfinity because: (no reason given)
And one more thing. All the deluded idiots defending this barbaric act are the same ones who will yell "Abortion is murder! Babies are God's gifts!" Hypocrites.
