The question is confused, but I think you mean "Why doesn't the anti-Christ believe in God!?" Well, why should he!? Presumably this fictional anti-Christ would spread all kinds of seductive lies to persuade people to believe in him!.
If ever there was an anti-Christ in human history, surely it was Hitler!. Yet the world didn't end and Jesus failed to make an appearance!.
In my opinion the Second Coming happened on the day Jesus arose from the dead!. He told the disciples that he would return within their lifetimes, and he did!. Any other Coming is metaphorical and simply refers to becoming a disciple of Jesus!.

The idea of an Antichrist came from early christians involving the idea of non-christian forces at work in the world to destroy or deceive the faithful!. As I understand it is really not a person as much as an organized effort to dissuade people from any real form of faith in any form of God by replacing God with human inventions!. In other words to replace God with a universal form of false religious government!. Some point at different governments or rulers in history as being Antichrist types such as Nero and Hitler and the Spanish Inquisition and I would have to agree!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

unashamed!? More like unabletowritegoodenglish!.

sigh!.

The term "antichrist" is used many times in the NT, and references many different people!. If you don't take Revelations as literal or even canonical (as many prominent christians throughout history did not - Eusebius, Martin Luther, Thomas Jefferson, John Calvin, etc!.) then the whole concept of an antichrist weakens from some mythical super-sized opponent of God into a mortal man who opposes christians in a political or military fashion!.

I would suggest going to http://bible!.crosswalk!.com I think the site is called, and search for the term "antichrist" bible-wide, and see how many references are made, and in what context!. It might be illuminating!. Is it merely a term used to describe opponents of christians, or truly an opponent of God!?

The terms "antichrist" and "pagan" have been used freely throughout the ages since then - by christians against muslims, muslims against christians, both against jews, etc!. It seems like the more similar the beliefs are between two religious groups, the more vile and virulent the attacks become!

Anyways!.!.!.!. so if I don't believe in God, why would I try to oppose God!? I don't care what christians do, as long as they aren't knocking on my door all the time wanting me to convert or are trying to pass laws that would force me to abide by their opinions on what morality should be!. Live and let live!.

Does that mean that I'm an "antichrist"!?

Or rather, don't you think it's more likely that an antichrist be someone who actually believes in God, because it's insanity to fight against something you don't believe in!?

So perhaps if there somehow is an antichrist out there, don't you think you should be looking amongst your fellow christians first and foremost!? How about those popular and prominent leaders you guys have!? How many televangelists have been caught in multimillion dollar scandals and charges of fraud and tax evasion!?

Anyways, there you go!. The second link below is a really good read, if you don't know much about the Book of Revelations!. I find early christian history fascinating, in part because it shows how christianity has changed over the years, and how modern christians are sooo different from those early christians!.

EDIT: You Are Enlightened!? Yeah, that makes absolutely no sense!. How can you not believe in something because you have just as much power in it!? Hunh!?

Actually, the idea that Satan is the opponent of God comes in part from Mithraism, which came from Zoroastrianism!. In these religions, the forces of good are opposed equally by the forces of evil!. Ahura and Mazda, I think!. Mazda was the good one!. This explains partly how over time Satan grew from a "messenger of God" into a fallen angel, then into an arch-nemesis with dominion over the earth!.

But perhaps the evolution of Satan and Hell is for another question, another time!.!.!.!.

Lucifer who spawns the anti-Christ believes that their is the opposite power of God as all things have opposites so he believes that their is an opposite power however there is not!. Thus the anti-Christ will not believe in God because they believe thier power is equal!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you're referring to the biblical anti-christ, I expect he would believe in God!. As the Bible says, even the devils believe, and tremble!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That's what it says in the Book of Revelation!. I suppose it's because, from the context of the Bible, "God has hardened his heart!." Why is this not in R&S!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
