I don't know David Icke personally, yet I've read his latest book, "Love is the only reality...." He brings truth where there is lies (a little more like Jesus did with revealing the corruption and lies as in overturning the lying temple money changer tables and correcting the pharisees etc.) In this way I think this is exactly what David Icke is doing on a modern scale. I have some different opinions or philosophies from him but I don't have to agree with him on all points as I'm sure he wouldn't have to agree with me either. I admire what he's doing.
I agree with David totally in that I don't believe religion and this world's "god" is good at all, as a matter of fact I think it's a wolf in sheeps clothing, or more correctly, evil dressed up to look like goodness, love and purity, and in that sense I'm completely on board with David in believing that the various religions have basically got one agenda irregardless of the fact that they may appear to be by different founders. Just because a person sees major holes and problems inherent within religion doesn't mean their an anti-christ -- in my ever so humble opinion it means their very intelligent people. The fact that you would think that people exposing religion for what it is,organizations of corruption, means that you must believe that religions are good and correct, which also means that I would recommend you do some serious research especially his latest book would dispell any idea that he is an atheist.
In the late 1700's Thomas Paine pointed out problems within the religious system and wrote an article called The End of Reason. I totally agree with him about his assessments too and yet he wasn't popular and was basically ostercized so he died a very lonely man. He also wasn't an atheist and he also wasn't an anti-christ just because he disclosed the inherent ugliness and shall we call it *evil* within religion and it's organizers. note to self: disclosing the lies and errors behind peoples religious beliefs makes one very, very unpopular -- it may even get one crucified. David doesn't believe that Jesus existed, although I personally do, I just think All of the religions concocted are a fabricated story that would hardly resemble the truth at all.
In regard to those using the bible and specifically the book of revelations as a source of *truth* to explain anti-christs I'd say this:
The bible has been so completely set up by propagandists masqueradings as religious authoritarians that I would take it with a huge grain of salt.
Here is one writers revised version of the Book of Revelation basically claiming that the Roman church once again corrupted it all. (note: the writer isn't a channeller)
http://www.xeeatwelve.net/articles/revelations.htmlI do believe there is anti-christ but I don't think it's just one person - I personally believe there are a number of them. I'm on David's side in terms of pulling down the Wizard Of Oz curtain of blindness that covers people's eyes regarding ALL religion - which doesn't make me an atheist either -- I do believe in a Source, just not the one that any religion or new age philosophy is preaching.
just my thoughts on the subject. then again, my blinders were taken off years ago and I see religion for the fraud it is.
um, maybe that makes me the Christ --> mind you I recall what they did to him for revealing it's lies.
