I donno. 

I would figure that almost all Christians, or those who belong to more or less conventional
variations on the faith, believe that Satan is pretty much evil. As evil as evil gets. 

It's certainly a interesting term. Something that has more depth to it then just 'the
embodiment of all evil'. 

Antichrist refers to the fact (take it the bible context, not saying that you or anybody else
assumes it's fact) that the 'Antichrist' is not 'opposite of Christ' or anything like that.
It's that he wants you to think that he is your savior, that he _is_ Jesus. The Antichrist is
a trick to make you think that he is there to save you from the bad things that happen in the
world. 

So in the book of revelations the Antichrist comes shining down from heaven into Jerusalem. He
comes all floating down, all shining with lights and all that sort of thing. He performs
miracles, stops armed conflict, heals the sick, feeds the poor, etc etc. All in a fairly
supernatural (magical-seeming) way. Pretty much what everybody expects Jesus or
$favorite-deity-thingy to do in the end times. 

Since most of the world is ignorant of all of this because they don't know the bible or follow
whats going on then they all fall in line behind this false savior. 

Hence, the Antichrist. Tricking people into following him rather then the true Christ.


So in a sense what is he actually saying, in a obviously tongue-in-cheek manner, (and whether
he realizes it or not) is that Python programming language is in fact a false idol.. A
deception perpetuated on the Linux-going public. That Python promises to be what Ruby is, and
is able to perform most of the tasks that people think that a OO language should be able to
do. 

However the fact (according to Mark "Markey" Kretschmann) is that Python is deceiving people,
turning them away from the one true Ruby. The Ruby that will ultimately save them and provide
them the river of knowledge that will lead programmers out of suffering ignorance and into a
thousand years of fairly productive learning and general success. 

Darn that old Antiruby, Python.
