Do you just read the headlines because that isn't what he said.

He said that people like Greta are legionnaires of the Antichrist. Which is not "Greta is the literal anti-christ".

Do you have any idea of the context of what the whole point was? If not, perhaps you should find out before you talk rubbish.

Do you know what he means by "Antichrist" or are you taking the least generous interpretation you can because you don't like the man.

If someone is saying that there are literal actuql existing legionnaires of the literal actual existing antichrist, and X person is one of them, it's not the "X person is one of them" part that I have an issue with.

Maybe you can help me out, I listened to him talk about this and I couldn't make head-nor-tail of what he was trying to say. It feels like he's so tied up in concepts and metaphors and similes and allegories it's impossible to tell specifically what he is asserting to be true. If you could explain to me like I was five I'd be grateful. Not looking for an argument.

Is this the ‘oh he was just joshing about, he didn’t really mean what he said’ defence?

"The insane person didn't say _that_ insane thing, they said a _different_ insane thing!"

I mean, not sure it helps much.

so he said she’s the literal legionnaire of the antichrist?

that doesn’t really sound a whole lot better.

I don’t see how that’s any less insane.
