Finding theAanti Christ
I KNOW A PERSON who believes that Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law, is the anti-Christ. Whether she actually believes that, or merely wants to, is not for certain, but she says she does. This is independent of the fact that there is no evidence for the existence of an "anti-Christ", nor, for that matter, a Christ (messiah) . At least, no evidence that exists outside the human imagination. This Kushner anti-Christer was until quite recently an avid Trump supporter, then flew the coop. Then she awakened, which in itself raises questions of motive. Why would anyone who approved fo Trump for the first three years of his administration change at this late date, rather then before he was elected, like I did? how long does it take to see through this immoral, dishonest, criminal president? Well, whatever. congratulations on her for awakening, no matter what the reason or how belated. But Jared Kushner, the anti-Christ? I don't like him any more than I like his father-in-law. Kushner seems to be something of a spoiled rich kid, a dandy, a brat, and perhaps a criminal. But he also seems to be a regular human being, and likely a decent person, deserving credit for his financial ambition and business acumen. He inherited a fortune and grew it into a super fortune. In America, that is the sort of behavior we tend to admire. But people are people, and when we dislike someone, anyone, for whatever subjective reason, we tend to look for ways to justify our dislike. Often our reasons become ridiclulous, a stretch. We'd be better off to accept the fact that we need no reasons for our likes and dislikes, we can merely accept them as they are. It is not wrong to despise a despicable person. But that's a far cry from arbitrarily convincing ourselves that the object of our hatred is the "anti-Christ", or that anyone is.
