3. People just never get it...

This same claim to the coming of the anti-Christ has been made over and over and over in the last 1800 years. It comes and goes with the regularity of an ocean wave any time there is a figure in government or other religious groups who doesn't meet the apostolic extreme evangelical hoopla of that particular half decade. It's caused uprisings though the middle ages and Renaissance, the 16th century, 17 century, 18th century as well as one of the biggest in the 19th and a couple more in the 20th. It's just nauseatingly repetitious historically and people just want to keep riding that apocalyptic horse to Armageddon at the whim of another deluded preacher, prophet or swindler.

Grow up already humanity.
