Poll asking voters about conspiracy theories reveals alarming beliefs – including 37% believing global warming to be a hoax
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.
The survey, which was conducted by Public Policy Polling, asked a sample of American voters about a number of conspiracy theories, phrasing the questions in eye-catching language that will have the country’s educators banging their heads on their desks. The study revealed that 13% of respondents thought Obama was “the antichrist”, while another 13% were “not sure” – and so were at least appeared to be open to the possibility that he might be. Some 73% of people were able to say outright that they did not think Obama was “the antichrist”.
The survey also showed that 37% of Americans thought that global warming was a hoax, while 12% were not sure and a slim majority – 51% – agreed with the overwhelming majority view of the scientific establishment and thought that it was not. The survey also revealed that 28% of people believed in a sinister global New World Order conspiracy, aimed at ruling the whole world through authoritarian government. Another 25% were “not sure” and only a minority of American voters – 46% – thought such a conspiracy theory was not true.
At least some of the insane theories suggested by the poll were dismissed by large majorities. For example, only 7% of Americans in the survey believed the moon landing was faked, 14% believed in Bigfoot and 4% accepted that “shape-shifting alien reptilian people control our world by taking on human form”. In other good news, Paul McCartney will be relieved that a mere 5% of respondents believed that he died in a car crash in 1966 and was replaced by a double so the Beatles could continue their careers, and just 11% embraced the concept that the US government knowingly allowed the terror attacks of 11 September 2001 to take place. The survey was carried out in order to explore how voters’ political beliefs impact on their willingness to embrace conspiracy theories – it did indeed find that the partisan divide that is blamed for many problems in Washington DC also extends to the world of paranoia, aliens and Sasquatch. For example, when it comes to thinking global warming is a hoax some 58% of Republicans agreed and 77% of Democratsdisagreed. While 20% of Republicans believed Obama is the antichrist heralding the End Times, only 13% of independents did and just 6% of Democrats.”Even crazy conspiracy theories are subject to partisan polarization, especially when there are political overtones involved. But most Americans reject the wackier ideas out there about fake moon landings and shape-shifting lizards,” said PPP president Dean Debnam.
Is Barack Obama the Antichrist? (Part 1)
YES HE IS THE DEVIL
Soetoro most likely is a “type”, that is, he is what the actual antichrist will be like, charismatic (to some, I personally see right through him and find him loathsome), able to give people what they want to hear, but a liar, a thief, a destroyer, a murderer, an abominable false person.
The antichrist will be a Jew or kharzar the false prophet his companion in terror is in Rome Our Dear Blessed Mother with her sons approval forewarned us many times now on deaf ears she said who the big a would be at lassalette just what I said above in more detail
Our dear blessed mother forewarned us?? Must of missed that scripture verse??

Uh no, that’s not how it works. “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God and Him only shalt thou serve.” Mary doesn’t qualify to give Revelation and Roman Catholicism has murdered the saints in numbers too great to account for throughout history. Roman Catholicism has made every effort throughout history to keep the people from reading Gods Word and to keep them in ignorance of the scriptures. When Tyndale, Luther and others attempted to make Gods Word available to the people, the Roman Catholics murdered them too and before that the pope stamped out every group of Christians it could find.
Mary doesn’t want you worshiping her because she knows that she is just another sinner saved by grace. Better than most women, but still a sinner as all have sinned. She is not, was not and never will be God.
when one reads history about the rcc church are you reading the real history or the illuminate stuff, remember the masons were all excommunicated by the RCC up until the church was taken over by the vatican2 popes usury was banned in europe when all europe was catholic. We are obsessed with the RCC but forget that its the largest catholic church but most christian in the world proclaim to be catholic of one denomination or another(coptic christians, russian orthodox, church of england etc). The reformers also burned people at the stake, catholic priests were hunted in England and other countries etc. Mary to Catholics is just a created person like everyone else. But the bible says she is Blessed among women-that her soul glorifies the lord.(not even moses would make such a claim). Prayers to saints go back to the early church because catholics believe they are still in heaven and close to god the prayer is a request for prayer as one would aska freind to pray for them. The reformers have argued about this among themselves and cant agree on scripture themselves except if it attacks the RCC(rather than lead people to jesus they want to attack the RCC church which was the main thrust of the reformation(you can agree or disagree thats just my own opinion). bit like the moslems who are divided except when it comes to Isreal. It is a myth the RCC church did not allow people to read bibles. At the time 97% of the worlds population could not read anyhow.Printed books were not available until later. You are right Mary does not want worship. Mary was the new ark of god and the old ark made of gold was pure(this is the argument for her sinless nature(you can agree or not this is just a discussion)because it was her flesh that jesus took on.This is the view of the early church. but my opinion is the present Pope and lot of vatican2 sect Priests in the Vatican are not catholic s as they are heretical priests. For catholic’s under their cannon law this means automatic excommunication. The pope and the heretical bishops can not be in charge of a church they are not part of. It explains a lot and if you disagree with me then you disagree with past church councils and your own church laws
I will agree that it was never said of Moses that he was blessed among women. Very few men are, and especially now days. Roman Catholicism is a woman dominated religion which is why it has so much homosexuality. False doctrine always leads to sexual perversion. But the emphasis of Scripture is on God the Father, not Mary the mother. We have no Biblical precedent for anyone ever praying to Mary or any of the other departed saints for that matter as necromancy and other forms of witchcraft are strictly forbidden. Nor do we have any Biblical precedent for referring to Mary as “Mother of God.” She was created by God; not the other way around. Roman Catholicism is not church history.. Roman Catholicism is pagan idolatry and it has always persecuted and murdered the true church which has always been small in number. That’s why saints are called “the chosen few” who were chosen out of the world. The worlds religious masses are not included in the chosen few.
i think you should get off you reformer hat and stop being obsessed with the RCC church. the rcc church is so named after the east west split because they each thought the other was the chair of peter as such.the bible was put together at the council of nicea which was presided over by emperor constantine the one who people think turned the catholic church into babylon. The champion of the trinity doctrine was athanasius a bishop from Egypt. it was settled at the council in 440 AD although many were against it(the doctrine of the trinity was disputed for 30-40 years after until it was accepted) Constantine supported it so it became church doctrine at the council . although Constantine changed his mind and opposed the trinity doctrine until he converted to the true faith at the end of his life. there were 195 book’s possibly hundreds considered for our bible many being rejected at the council where the BIBLE-THE TRINITY DOCTRINE-AND THE APOSTLES CREED. none of which can be separated were put together in the same council and sealed-guided by the holy spirit. Martin Luther himself said we must admit we have the papists to thank for the scriptures(and all modern christian teachings).the papists being all catholics both east west and coptic as they were all involved. I am not going to debate RC doctrine your opinion is your own but what i have just said is a historical fact. I DONT CARE IF YOU DONT LIKE IT BUT ITS HISTORY which no one can dispute. remember the church of England is catholic and episcopate’s also. they share many of the traditions are you condemning them also.. The reformers had many flaws martin Luther was an embarrassment as far as bible translation and teaching is concerned. The early reformers could not agree on one word of scripture. I am not here defending the catholic church but it is historical christianity.
Well said Jay….well said!
To Mary’s Servant:
Your username speaks volumes in and of itself! I went to the website you linked and I think you were directing me to this:
http://www.thewarningsecondcoming.com/14723/
The article speaks many truths until you get to the signature line. Mary was the mother of the human body of God. She was not the mother of God or the mother of salvation. By the article making that statement it says that Mary was the co-creatorof the Divinity of Jesus. Where in the bible does it state that??? I am linking an article that I would like you to read as I did for you:
http://www.holybiblesays.org/articles.php?ID=199
I think the most profound statement in the article about this topic is the fact that Jesus himself never calle Mary “mother” but actually called her “woman”.
Grace and Peace my friend.
The holy trinity is a catholic doctrine it is not mentioned as such or named in the the bible. the communion of saints is a catholic doctrine and the bible itself was put together by the catholic church at the first main council presided over by Constantine. So if the the catholic church is pagan and idolatrous then the bible is not the work of the holy spirit. the trinity doctrine is a man made doctrine etc. You can not have it both ways.
Again we have the Roman Catholics trying to take credit for things that they have no part in whatsoever. So the Word Trinity is not in the Bible you say. Are you now telling us openly that you are adding to the Bible and claiming extra Biblical authority for the pope? Are you telling us that Roman Catholicism invented the Trinity? If so then you are adding to the word of God and the plagues written in the book belong to such people. Will you even go so far as to tell us that Jesus is not the author of communion, as in the Last Supper; but rather that the Roman Catholics invented it? Paul was giving the true Church(not Roman Catholics) instruction on taking the Lords supper 3 centuries before the first pope was even in existence. Roman Catholicism just came along and copy cat religionized New Testament church ordinances in order to deceive people into following them into Roman Catholic pagan idolatry while adding a bunch of offices and religious customs that have no Biblical precedent whatsoever, like praying to the dead instead of coming to the Father through the one mediator between God and man (Jesus Christ). Praying to the dead is out and out witchcraft necromancy. I’ll say this as nicely as I can, but the truth is that Roman Catholics are deceived people who are going to hell thinking that they are going to heaven and they would rather see Mary when they get there than Jesus Christ. And I know some Roman Catholics who are very nice people. But that won’t save them if they are trying to get to God the Father through Mary and dead saints. That might get them a bloody mary and a trip to the gates of hell, but they will never see the pearly gates following after that kind of doctrine.
As a former Catholic, I know the arguments of both sides. I left the Catholic Church many years ago as a result of studying my Catholic Bible, discovering many Catholic teachings do not line up with Holy Writ. Nowhere in the textus receptus will you discover Mary or any of the saints as an intercessor with the Father. In John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life, no man comes to the Father but by Me. Paul writes in Acts 4:12, “And there is salvation in no one else: for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved.” The Scriptures to support this are too numerous to detail. As far as the Catholic Church or anyone inventing the Trinity, this statement is absurd. The evidence of the existence of the Godhead in a tripartite being is replete throughout Scripture. The first evidence of the Godhead comprising more than one personality is revealed as early as Genesis 1:26 where the Scripture states, “… Let Us make man in Our image…” The “Let Us”
uses the Hebrew word, “Elohim” which is a plural noun, referring to the Godhead. Years ago, I first started questioning my then Catholic faith when I began reading such Scriptures as, “in the last days men would begin professing doctrines of demons, forbidding man to marry and abstaining from meat.” That was just the beginning. It is important to understand the derivation of the word “Catholic.” It is merely a Greek word for the word universal. It began to be used sometime after Constantine legalized Christianity. Unlike we Catholics were indoctrinated, his primary agenda was to stay in power as the Emperor of Rome. Many of the emperors were being assassinated and being an excellent politician, he recognized that despite persecution and martyrdom, these Christians were greatly multiplying. I am familiar of the legendary vision
that he had. If you want to believe it, that’s fine but I am a pragmatist first and look for evidence. As far as Mary being magnified or whatever the claim, the Angel Gabriel said she was “highly favored among women.” She said her soul magnifies the Lord. Reread the Scripture in Luke Chapter 1 in what is Mary’s prayer to the Lord called the “Magnificat” where she states this. She is not being magnified but magnifies the Lord. To reiterate, the Scripture merely states that she is highly favored or regarded among women. The first 12 years of my education occurred in Catholic Schools, including 4 years in an all male college preparatory high school.I am very thankful for the excellent education I received there but as far as learning much about the true Christ and what is necessary for and understanding salvation, it was lacking at best. However. it was still better than probably most any public institution. I was always an excellent history student and when introduced to Bible prophecy some 35 years ago,
I fully recognized immediately how accurate the Scriptures had to be. I began reading the prophecies of Daniel Chapter 2 and 7 and have been on a great adventure of searching for God’s truth since. Yes, it is true the Catholic Church has been a great persecutor of the brethren. I suggest you study the Inquisition, Wickliffe, etc. However, the Protestants were not totally innocent either, just not as egregious as the Roman Catholics. “Bloody Mary,” and I
think she was formerly Mary, Queen of Scots. The name Catholic was really not adopted by the Church at Rome until about the 4th century and Rome was certainly not mentioned as one of the important churches of the early church fathers. You will not see it mentioned in any of Eusebius’ writings or anyone of any significant import. I recommend that all my Catholic brethren read Alexander Hislop’s, “The Two Babylon’s.” I certainly do not have any “axe to grind’ against Catholics. While Augustine was certainly a gifted scholar, he wrote much that in my humble opinion that did undermine the legitimacy of the prophetic Word of God as he allegorized most all of prophecy. His allegory of the Scriptures in some areas reached the point it was so ludicrous it was almost hilarious; the case in point is his commentary of the “Good Samaritan.” Having a very strong background in Roman Catholicism and the strong desire for truth, has given me the insight of the mindset of so many Catholics. I was one of nine children and even had priests and monks in my family. I prefer to call myself as a “follower of Christ” before anything else because so many
so-called “Christians” have done great injustice in that Name. Jesus is the Way, the only begotten of the Father and only through Him is there salvation. Mary, though “greatly favored,” was merely another sinful human being and you will find no Scripture to prove otherwise.
the debate could go on
i did not say the catholic church invented the trinity that would be absurd, what i said was that the dogman was defined at the council of nicea by the catholic church(the whole catholic church which made up all christians at the time)to stop the arian crises in its tracks.(arians denied the divinity of jesus as do many sects today).at the same council certain books we now call our bible was sealed as we now call infallible scripture along with the apostles creed all catholics still say. Constanitine was in The arian camp but for this council he for some reason(holy spirit) accepted the anathanasius position which is our position today. the Arians were not baptised christians and were after this council their arian position was slowly rejected until it died in europe until it was revised by the modern day heretical yehovas witnesses and such.Constantine rejected Arianism at the end of his life. I am not here promoting the catholic church just giving some history, people on the blogg are entitled to believe what they may. i believe in Jesus christ the trinity and historical Christianity. The trinity as defined was defined by the catholic church. The term roman catholic was coined to define all christians who follow the bible and church teachings from the council of Nicaea .
the term Roman catholic was coined around 1053 during the Great schism of the european church . If you have a problem with the catholic church then this includes greek orthodox etc.
