Ralph Reed, The Master of Deception
It's funny how Evangelical Christianity has suffused itself in the art of deception. I thought the great deceiver was supposed to be the other guy, the one with hoofs and horns.

Here is the expose from Sunday's Atlanta-Journal Constitution as it continues to follow the deep dark connections between Ralph Reed, Abramoff, deceit, surfeit, and gambling money...

Ex-activist relies on Christian connections

(excerpt)

Reed's penchant for secrecy as a consultant follows the philosophy of political engagement he has espoused since his days at the Christian Coalition. Using combat metaphors to urge his followers into action, Reed once suggested that Christians adhere to the teachings of Sun Tzu, the ancient Chinese military strategist and author of "The Art of War," who wrote that "all warfare is based on deception." For years Reed advised conservative Christians to conceal their activism so they could take their adversaries by surprise.

"I want to be invisible," Reed told a Virginia newspaper in 1991. "I paint my face and travel at night. You don't know it's over until you're in a body bag."

2. Actually the reason the Antichrist is the Great Deceiver is because
so many people believe he is from God.
