| Jul 5, 2018 at 14:47 | comment | added | Separatrix | @Renan, so in practice there's nothing much more to say, it's the usual them and us argument, attempting to discredit the "enemy" by name and reputation which is part of the answer I gave to the other question. | |

| Jul 5, 2018 at 13:21 | comment | added | Separatrix | @Renan, I think most of the answers to other question are valid for a generic "evil god" rather than just a god of murder, I can't see anything that would cause me to give a significantly different answer here. Hell has all the good music after all. | |

| Jul 5, 2018 at 5:42 | comment | added | jamesqf | I think you have to first provide a better explanation of just what you mean by Anti-Christ. Purely as a personal matter, I think a lot of people might follow him (or her) simply because s/he is the antithesis of Christianity. Especially since fear, greed, or a desire to hurt people seem to be high among the reasons people follow that religion. | |

| Jul 4, 2018 at 18:11 | comment | added | JBH | This has been flagged as a duplicate, but it might not be. Can you clarify your question? What's the "anti-christ" to you? Do you see this person as utterly (even comically) evil? Or is this person cunning and deceptive? The question @Secespitus linked is about someone intrinsically malevolent, but what if your anti-christ is simply against "the winning side?" What if that person's bent on controlling his assets and not hurting them? I'm curious. If you're view is the traditional "I hate people" kind of anti-christ, then it's definitely a duplicate. | |

| Jul 4, 2018 at 17:24 | comment | added | EveryBitHelps | Most Germans didn't follow Hitler 'cos he was an excuse to hurt people etc. He was a charismatic leader who played on fears & they voted him into power. He then completely changed the laws & then it wouldn't have been a very good idea to stand up to him and his followers. Just raise your hand in salute, quietly go about your way and hope that you aren't called on to do anything horrible. And if you are called on to do something against your conscience...you have family to think about! Most people will follow your antichrist figure before they realise he is the antichrist. Then it's too late. | |
