Whimsical

If I were the sort to go in for apocolyptic beliefs, I could make a pretty good case for the presence of the Anti-Christ on the planet.

He would be someone born to power.

Someone who is seen as passionately religious.

Someone in a powerful country.

Someone who managed to come to power in that country, and so able to affect the entire world.

Someone with a large following of people who think he is their savior, the preserver of all that is good and holy.

He would despoil them, and as much of the world as he could.

He would oversee a gov't which exercised as much control over the private lives of all his citizens.

He would engage in agressive actions, even war, to spread the influence of his power.

Those who cried against him would be stifled and villified.

Just sayin', I can see someone who fills all of those.
