The Ant-Christ

[bobquasit]

Over on an Askville discussion thread, a Christian just said that they viewed attempts by some to mix New Age practices with Christian theology to be the first steps towards the Ant-Christ.

That's Ant-Christ - yes, it was obviously a typo. But I couldn't resist making the following response, in part:

I don't quite see how New Age practices lead to the Ant-Christ. I'd have thought that it would be some sort of celestial picnic that would lead to Him, or rather, that would lead Him to us. But I tremble at the thought of His mighty antennae and exoskeleton. :D

I wonder if anyone will get the joke?

I love it!

As for the true intent of their message, I hate to tell them this, but throughout history christianity has morphed and adopted portions of religions of conquered people. It was thought to help the conquered accept their "new" faith if some of what they were familiar with was part of it.

The Ant-Christ had nothing to do with it...*gigglefits*

I couldn't resist making a picture of the Anti-Ant-Christ:

What comes to my mind is a scene in the television version of "Hogfather" where a mouse gets killed in a trap and Mouth Death (complete with robes and scythe) comes to collect its soul.
