Suffice to say that several other people have falsely accused the last several presidents of being the Antichrist, and they’ve all been wrong. I also think that <a href="http://catholicdefense.blogspot.com/2012/11/a-post-election-quiz.html" rel="nofollow">this is a time for renewed prayer and hope, rather than despair</a>.Joe Heschmeyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06998682878420098470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-43420106328047439292012-11-07T16:05:09.359-06:002012-11-07T16:05:09.359-06:00I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out tha...I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out that Almighty God is testing us right now. We screwed up our opposition to the HHS mandate, in my opinion, so now we're stuck with four more years of this clown.<br /><br />I think that Romney wouldn't have been any better than Obama...<br /><br />I'm also so jaded at this point in my life that I don't really think of myself as an "American", and haven't for some time now. I'm an American by sheer luck of being born in this nation, while I'm a Catholic by choice. Presidents, Judges, Congresscritters, Senators, and all those bureaucrats come and go, by the Church remains. The Church is the institution which I've thrown my lot in with, with any luck it won't be the wrong choice... <br /><br />I think I could also probably relate to how an Ancient Roman in the Western Empire felt around the year 400 AD or so: He realizes that things are falling apart, and that there doesn't seem to be anything anyone can do about it, or that anyone even wants to do anything about it even if they could do something about it, let alone anyone who knows what "it" actually is for that matter that needs to be fixed in the first place, so why not disengage from the whole thing, isolate yourself and your family and friends, and throw your lot in with the local non-Roman Germanic and Celtic tribes with the Church as well, before TSHTF?<br /><br />I recommend reading the historical fiction "The Sky Stone" by Jack Whyte <br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Skystone<br /><br />It's basically about that situation, and the fall of Rome...Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10893212093736380961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-62788918079236451552012-11-07T12:17:00.297-06:002012-11-07T12:17:00.297-06:00The Antichrist won the election.. :(The Antichrist won the election.. :(Petrus Augustinushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03296159071531531990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999044146888823867.post-78124605232171487892012-11-05T20:28:50.304-06:002012-11-05T20:28:50.304-06:00You can fast, but as for me and my household, we s...You can fast, but as for me and my household, we shall serve alcohol.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01915100833433055951noreply@blogger.com
