About one in four Americans suspect that President Barack Obama might be the antichrist, more than a third believe that global warming is a hoax and more than half suspect that a secretive global elite is trying to set up a New World Order, according to a poll released on Tuesday.

No. Ezekiel mentioned other sins but says Sodom was destroyed for the "abomination before me" they committed. The book of Jude further confirms it was the sexual sin (going after strange flesh) which caused God to destroy Sodom.
Does the national backround of the anti-christ make a difference?
It was BOTH the sins of homosexuality and the neglect shown to the poor and needy.
Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. —Jude 1:7
Now this was the sin of Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen. —Ezekiel 16:49-50
In the original Hebrew (BHS) the second sentence is clearly a subordinate clause to the sentence which precedes it.
Your opinion, not mine. I go with both.
One out of two Americans think he’s robin hood or Santa Claus.
Obama is AN anti-Christ, but he’s not THE anti-Christ. He doesn’t garner enough respect around the world, even from the most liberal of nations, to be THE anti-Christ.
I think it does, Biggirl. The foundation of America is the rule of law, not the rule of a king or emperor. The founding fathers’ intention was to make the US decidedly NOT like Roman Europe...with its kings, emperors, and conquerors.
When a US president is inaugurated he takes his oath on the Bible, which, I believe is that rule of law. God’s law, the Bible, is above all men. The founding fathers in one stroke set this country on a totally different foundation, again, totally different from Roman Europe.
Not to say, of course, that this subversive we have in office believes any of this. I do believe he would like to overturn all of this (with his associates on the left), so he could crown himself some sort of emperor. Were he to succeed in this, I would join the crowd thinking he could very well be the antichrist. But as it stands now, no.
At the present he just doesn’t fit the Biblical portrait of antichrist. He exhibits a great many antichrist attributes, however, there is these other things that don’t fit. I see him as an antichrist, but not THE antichrist. The way I see it anyway.
Time for a new poll!
It is still possible he's the ac. He would not use the special powers until they are needed. He's been plenty smart enough to accomplish the mission up to this point. I don't believe the preternatural stuff gets going until he has worldwide political authority.
