snopes.com: Is Barack Obama the Anti-Christ?

Urban legend of the day: "According to the Book of Revelations the antichrist will be a man, in his 40s, of MUSLIM descent, who will deceive the nations with persuassive language, and have a MASSIVE Christ-like appeal.... the prophecy says that people will flock to him and he will promise false hope and world peace, and when he is in power, will destroy everything."

Even if, like me, your biblical scholarship is unsophisticated, you should be able to spot the obvious flaw in this logic. The book of Revelations was written somewhere around the year 100 or so, maybe a bit later. Mohammad would not be born for several more centuries, so Revelations could not refer to "Muslims."

As I read through the Snopes article debunking this myth, I sadly realized that I appear to be an antichrist. Sorry about that. Hope I haven't caused you any inconvenience with that whole pesky end of the world thing. Just one bit of advice: if there's anything you really, really want to do before you die, now would be a good time.

Just sayin'.
