He's been prophecied about for eons. Since the birth of time, the worlds been casting an eager lookout in the direction of the coming of the antichrist. The maitreyta, as buddhist know him. Hazarat Al Mahdi to muslims. The Kalki to Hindus.

Call him what you may...

 

He's here.

 

 

where is he?

 

who is he?

He's been prophecied about for eons.

How long the belief has been held is really irrelevant. What evidence is there for the antichrist?

 

Also, it isn't really correct to equate the antichrist to the maitreya as buddhists regard it as a future buddha which will bring enlightenment to the world.

And, it doesn't seem correct to equate the antichrist with mahdi either! Mahdi seems to be closer to the christian concept of Jesus in the end times.

Of the mythological concepts/beings presented, Kalki seems closest to the antichrist in that it is a sort of destructive force that will bring about the "end times." But it hasn't been shown by the OP how these two are the same and not just serving similar purposes in their respective mythologies, and of course there is no evidence presented to substantiate the claim that this being exists.

You have one chance to clarify and amplify your post, explain what this has to do with philosophy and what it is you'd like to discuss.

 

Discussion forum ≠ Blog

"Since the birth of time, the worlds been casting an eager lookout in the direction of the coming of the antichrist."

Why would anyone have looked for an Antichrist before there was a Christ.

This thread is silly.

 

"He's here. "

Well, the Mahdi is described as being about 40 years old, so it must be Sheldon. I could go with Trump as the Anti-Christ, though.

 

 

 

 

 

We should probably wait for DarkTheorist to explain what he means.

 

 

 

Btw, don't you hate it when people start a discussion using words designed to be cryptic rather than informative? OPs should be written so the first response isn't "What are you talking about?"

If I don't get a lightsabre and/or magic powers, I really don't care if it's the apocalypse or not.

Oddly, that's exactly what I promise MY worshippers. If they're good.

It's a bit irritating, but mainly puzzling. Why would anyone do it- unless they were trolling?

I think the anti Christ is Sarah Palin, think about it for a moment...

She pretty much is the antithesis of Jesus...

You are assuming an intellectual capacity and social empathy comparable to your own and that of many other members. Sometimes people just do dumb things.

"Dumb" and "troll" are a long way from being mutually exclusive.

Seeing as darktheorist visited earlier today and chose not to post, I think we're done here
