    It will be the work of the anti-christ because he is supposed to be some great world leader.

    Which again really isn’t in there. The figure is mostly characterized as a religious figure.

    In fact, the descriptions in 2 Thess 2 pretty accurately describes Paul himself (which was effectively narcissist projection), who literally was going around telling people not to listen to other versions of Jesus from the one he was telling them about, and there’s even a decent argument the version he’s combatting in Corinth was better tied to a historical a Jesus than the canonical one.

    They’ve so heavily fanfictioned their own beliefs it’s become utter nonsense even relative to the source materials.
