Is bin Laden the second coming of Jesus? Only this time, he seems to appear as the "anti-Christ", spreading hate instead of love. Is he the second-coming? Let's look at the facts:

1. He looks the part.

2. He is considered a holy man.

3. He is pitted against a formidable modern day "Roman Empire"

4. His "disciples" have died for his cause.

5. He is to be trapped, persecuted, villified, and executed as a detestable enemy of humanity.

Discuss.

I came to the same logical conclusion that Osama Ben Laden is the second coming of Christ. Christ said "I come with a sword." He was trying to say, "I come with a boxcutter," but they didn't have a word for it back then. Christ threw the money lenders out of the temple. The twin towers housed the greatest concentration of money-lenders and bond traders in the world. George Bush Sr. is the Anti-Christ and W is the Antichrist Jr. I have pinned a pretzel to the wall and pray to it hourly. There is hope.
