Is Obama the Second Coming?

[ULuvCeCe]

**Pretty sure this is going to go extremely religious - is or isn't there a God yada yada blah blah blah or it will go Anti-Obama why he's the worst president etc etc etc so prepare yourselves readers!**

So I overheard an interesting conversation the other day. A gal asked, what if Obama is the second coming. Now again overhearing, here is what I gathered: the time coincides perfectly w/the end of the world in 2012 and his push to get health care coverage for everyone and wanting to give people a little more equality could be the Saviors way of showing us how selfish we are if we don't help the needy.

Now being this was an interesting spin on the Second Coming and Obama himself, what are peoples thoughts on this?

It would be more difficult than worthwhile to respond non-religiously/non-politically when the context-punch is already spiked.

Right off the bat, your overheard conversation mistakes the end of one Mayan longcount cycle, (and the beginning of another), for the "end of the world" so, there's no coincidence there.  It's unclear how putting additional financial/debt burdens on already strained government programs will provide more "equality" for people, (unless you mean, break the system so no one gets anything?).  Finally, there aren't any attributable correlations between a new longcount cycle on a Mayan calendar which we no longer use, a healthcare plan which won't go into effect for some years and Obama as some vague conception of the "second coming".

All i can say is God help our country if he gets reelected.

If Obama is the second coming, I sure hope he is the first going. So many things are being done behind the backs of the people and by the time they all figure it out, I fear it will be way to late for our country.

Second coming of what?  I don't understand why he had to come the first time.  Was it Hawaii or Kenya Africa?  Many of us are still trying to figure it out.  And he certainly is not a saviour to anything, except maybe congress and his family, that's about all.

Not a 'rapture' type of xtian, are you? That's alright, I never understood why "born again xtians" didn't need a new birth certificate - unless it was due to the fact that the concept is nothing more than an internal delusion.

Diversionary tangent tactic?  Okay, Obama was permitted to run for, (let alone accept the nomination of), president and hold that office despite litigative challenges under U.S. laws.  So, that means that you're republican? <-- specious conclusion drawn from vaguely specious insinuations

I could really use those.  Where do I sign up?

Since they're done behind your back, they'd have to be surreptitiously-arranged, (like a surprise or, politics).

I was always taught that it was just going to be the end of the world as we know it. So I agree, end of one Mayan cycle and beginning of another. As for the financial/debt burdens, that whole thing is so up in the air for me. I haven't had health insurance for 4+years, apparently I am too rich to get assistance - luckily in CO my son does qualify for a child health plan but that doesn't help me when I get sick so it would be nice to have some type of coverage that doesn't cost a billion dollars. On the other side of it I understand people do work hard for their money, how others think this could break our system. And like I said I overheard this gal so I'm sure there was more to her second coming conversation that I didn't catch so I thought by posing it here others would pitch in and maybe fill in those gaps if they were thinking like her

When Jesus Christ returns he will come on the clouds with all power and authority. Every eye will se him. Obama nor anyone of us can ever hope to be the second coming.

[yaayme]

  Uhhhh, no!...Anybody who believes that is foolish. If he was Jesus, he wouldn't be signing bills and other worldly nonsense. Instead he would be kicking tail with the wrath of God and sending people to the pits of hell. Am I right?

[richrd42]

Mr. Obama can't be the first coming since Jesus has already come in the flesh once, and is returning in the flesh again. And Obama can't be the Antichrist because he is coming out of the revived roman empire according to the Bible.

Its a shame Mr. Obama is taking the reigns from the Liberals of his party instead of just governing from the center like President Clinton did. I would vote for President Obama if he would come to the political center a little more. And America doesn't need to have another extreme Conservative President that got us into this mess to begin with. There's no denying that the Governance of Mr. Bush fell a part the last year of his Presidency. I like Governor Mitt Romney for President because he has a centrist look on politics. Not too extreme in either direction of the political isles.

Why do people use these forums to start such silly threads?

If Jesus DOES come back... do you think the Jews will think twice about killing him again?
