I'm not quite sure what you are asking.

In Reply to: 7 Strange Coincidences - Angry
It seems to me that whatever we may have to offer you on this forum is not nearly as consequential as what you have to offer yourself. What is your end game here? Do you want the old BF back? Do you want to convince him he has somehow lost himself? Do you think you can talk him down with logic? Do you want to learn how to adjust yourself to accomodate this newly saved version of your BF? What do you want?
I will not inject my own beliefs into this unfortunate turn of events because I sense that you are genuinely worried and feeling a bit panicky (I know I would). I think one basic question you should ask yourself is do YOU believe Obama is the anti-Christ? If you do, then this would be a match made in heaven (no pun intended). But it sounds to me like you have major alarm bells going off and probably should listen to those every bit as much as you listen to your BF's rapture rap.
How open-minded are you? If you do not believe Obama is the anti-Christ, are you able to continue to build on the relationship with someone who does? If so, is he equally able to respect your NON-BELIEF and to accommodate it? Most importantly, how do you feel about what he is saying? What is your gut telling you to do?
I hope I am not sounding facetious here (as I often can). It is not my intent. It sounds to me that you need to talk this out and bat the pros and cons around. If so, please reply. If not, then I hope you find some of these questions helpful.
In terms of "disputing" the content, personally, I would say not to bother with that since he seems to be so firmly convinced. Some would say this sounds pathologic, but others would find it to be perfectly normal and not even blink and eye. I would be running as fast as I can in the opposite direction because nothing in those 7 coincidences makes any sense to me on any level. I just cannot conceive a world view that is based on numbers, fear, superstition, armageddon, the end of the world, etc., which is what this sounds like to me. But I'm not you. You must make up your own mind about this.
