The Antichrist of the Christian Religion is Not Completely Evident Yet

Rebuttal 1: The Catholic Church Killing Christians "Now, again, the woman resembles a particular group of religous people. It is also called the mother of harlots. This would make the Protestants the daughters to the mother- the Catholic church. Also, the church has killed many Christians over the years for "heresy" when they were really getting "drunk with the blood of the saints and the witnesses of Jesus." While there were times that the Catholic Church killed people for not being part of the Catholic church and being Protestants/Christians, it hasn't been like this for all of history. After the Protestant Reformation, the Catholics had a Counter Revolution in which they changed some of the things about the Catholic church. One of the things that was changed was that the church now accepted different beliefs, such as Protestantism and Christianity. More specifically, the church would no longer kill people because of their beliefs. So, the entire church as a whole hasn't been killing people for their beliefs in the past 500 years. I'm sure there have been extremists who have killed people on a smaller scale since then. However, Christians have done this, too. There probably have been Christian extremists who have killed people in the name of God. So, saying that Catholic extremists who kill people makes the church as a whole evil would also be applicable to Christianity. As you and I both know, Christianity doesn"t condone murder. Therefore, any Catholic who kills someone shouldn't be a reflection of the Catholic church's theories. To conclude this rebuttal, if you're talking about Catholics killing people 500 years and above ago, then the rules of the church are different, so everything that happened within that time period is invalid. If you're talking about the killings within the past 500 years, then that's something that extremists do, not the church as a whole. Any murder that has been committed by a Catholic is not a valid excuse to assume that the entire church is evil. Rebuttal 2: Rest of Your Argument Besides your comments about Catholics killing people of other religions, the rest of your argument isn"t quite up to par with proving your theory. While you present a theory, it doesn"t have any actual evidence supporting your claims. Therefore, until you support your claims with evidence, your theory is false. Contention 1: Proving all Popes are the Antichrist Since you claim that the Antichrist is multiple people who have shared a leadership role throughout history and that the Catholic Church is where the Antichrists come from, all of the popes would need to fit the identity of the Antichrist to prove your theory. There have been 266 popes as of September 6th, 2013. Therefore, you must prove that all 266 popes of history meet all the criteria of the Antichrist to prove that the Antichrist is in fact more than one person and that the Antichrists are all of the people who held power in the Catholic church. In conclusion: I have shown how the Catholic church no longer kills people for their anti-Catholic beliefs and that all previous killings condoned by the Catholic church are invalid arguments considering the killings condoned by the Catholic church happened before the Counter Revolution. Based on his theory, I have also stated that to prove that all popes of the Catholic church are the Antichrist, my opponent must prove that all 266 popes of history meet all the criteria of the Antichrist. I await my opponent"s next argument.
