If you woke up one day and definitively found out that you were the Anti-christ, are you going full world-ending evil, or like… mildly inconvenient evil?

Why not start off slow and work your way up....or down as it were.
How would that even go? 😂 Phase 1: Ding-Dong-Ditch the neighbors. Phase 30: Solve world hunger. Tell no one. Phase 70: Complete collapse of the the stock market Phase 50:
Not sure I have never planned to be the Anti-Christ before, I'm guessing not everything has to be evil tho.
Well, I certainly don’t want to end the world. That’s where I keep all my stuff!
I love the idea that the anti-christ wouldn’t want to end the world soely due to the fact that “All my stuff is there.”. Its like “Yeah, I could end the world as the ancient scrolls said I would…but I just built this sick new gaming laptop.”. 😂

What Antichrist has to do with "world-ending evil"? Have You actually read Revelations? :) In the Bible, it is the God who destroys world, not Antrichrist/Satan. Antichrist wants to rule the world and actually brings prosperity and peace, and God hates it, because people are not worshipping him.
I have read revelations and from the perspective of an agnostic, I think you’re mixing up presentation with intent. Yeah, the Antichrist is associated with peace at first, but it’s explicitly described as deceptive. It’s not genuine prosperity, it’s a setup to gain authority, unify people under him, and then demand worship. That’s kind of the whole point. Saying “he brings peace so he’s actually good” is like saying a con artist is generous because they give you something before taking everything. And God’s destruction in Revelation isn’t random jealousy, it’s judgment after all that deception and corruption plays out. You’re skipping the part where the Antichrist turns oppressive and hostile. Dang it, I rambled!
Fact, that he is demanding worship doesn't make him wanting to destroy the world :) BTW, if wanting to be worshipped makes someone evil, than I have bad news for the God :) Oh, and I have not claimt that Antichrist is good, just that contrary to God, he does not want to destroy the world. He is evil, but a lesser evil still :)
You’re kind of shifting the goalpost there. Nobody said the Antichrist wants to destroy the world outright, that’s not really the point. The issue is how he rules it. Deception, forced worship, control, persecution… that’s not exactly a “lesser evil,” that’s just evil with better PR at the start. And the comparison to God doesn’t really land. The core idea in Christianity is that worship is a choice; people can reject it, ignore it, mock it, whatever. That’s the whole “free will” point. The Antichrist, on the other hand, does enforce allegiance. So calling him a “lesser evil” because he doesn’t immediately destroy the world is missing the point. A system built on deception and enforced loyalty isn’t less evil, it’s just slower about showing its teeth.
