Now here’s my take on it: I believe Mark Burnett and his wife and the History Channel. I don’t believe they intentionally portrayed the Lucifer character to look like Mr. Obama. I think God guided the hand of the makeup artist and blinded the eyes of everybody on the movie set while it was being recorded, and the spiritual blinders were removed Sunday night when the program was broadcast nationally on the History Channel. How many clues do we need from Heaven to understand that the man in the White House is a devil from Hell?

I've seen the pictures and other than skin color I really don't see how the show's depiction of Satan resembles Obama. But, I guess it could to the "they all look alike to me" crowd.
Of course, you can't get around the, "Hey, we need someone to portray the epitome of evil, so let's make a white actor look black."
Without Satan makeup:image

"Clues from Heaven"? Clues?
If your Gawd is sofa king all-powerful, why can't it communicate effectively?
Why didn't it just do away with "Lucifer" in the first place?
Oh, yeah. It's because fundies have created a god in their own image = just as stupid and hateful as they are.
"I don’t believe they intentionally portrayed the Lucifer character to look like Mr. Obama. I think God guided the hand of the makeup artist and blinded the eyes of everybody on the movie set while it was being recorded."
Well, of course. I mean, that explanation just makes a whole lot more sense.
How many clues do we need from Heaven to understand
Ok, I'm very sure now that God is a woman. If God was a man, he'd talk straight. No clues.
God speaks to us in the female fashion. Indirectly, using vague clues. Example: "Oh look honey, isn't that handbag in the window just lovely" means "go buy it for me".
And just like with the women, if the men don't understand the clues, they get punished with the fires of Hell.
Yup. God is a woman.
Mark's wife is Roma Downy. She was on this really popular television show called "Touched By An Angel". Maybe you've heard of it Rick.
I will say that at least you had the decency not to say the actor was in blackface.
If god needed to make clues about this, WHY DOESN'T HE JUST TALK TO ALL OF NEW YORK CITY AT THE SAME TIME?
Well, it does look like Obama if he were like, 80 years old.
They should have gone with the "Passion Of The Christ" route, a weird, pale, creepy, genderless, sexless, spooky weirdo being.
The fact that Ol' Scratch looks like an 80 year old Obama (when having the Vincent Price-like actor looking like himself would've sufficed just fine) seems to be a deliberate anti-Obama smear.
I hope Murdoch croaks soon. Every cable station he touches...he destroys.
"I think God guided the hand of the makeup artist and blinded the eyes of everybody on the movie set while it was being recorded"
So, you think God willingly deceived people... I'm glad you believe that God lies to people.
Ol' J looks like a mellow surfer dude; the kind you get stoned with & catch some gnarly waves. Satan looks looks like Obama jerky; like someone left Obama out in the sun too long.
The rest of this is just stupid.
Yea, because the "antichrist" himself will not do any satanic doings in his first time, but wait until his second term at the gamble that he could actually lose. Satan is actually smarter than you want to believe. I mean, he apparently can constantly sneak his way into everyone (according to Christians)....looks like Jesus isn't a pro at the security of his people
Except that design decision was really the work of Zander Mockenfield, an interior designer from Norfolk, Colorado. He set up a massive conspiracy to make the depicted Satan look that way because his second grade gym teacher looked like that and he was a mean person.
Please disprove this before claiming it's a work of an imaginary divine force.

Why's that so hard to believe? Look at who the show as being pitched to.

God had very little to do with it--the All Hitler, All Aliens All the Time Channel knows their audience, and did the makeup accordingly. A channel that doesn't understand their target demographic doesn't last very long.
No, I've met the Devil. He looks like David Bowie, but with wings.
It would be nice if someone would actually do a little research and show Jesus as he mosdt likely looked based on regional, racial, and genetic data taken from the area. image

No, Satan blinded the eyes of fundies to make them think Lucifer looked like Obama. That particular piece of stupidity went over the heads of more rational people.
@JohnConstantine:
Well, that Lucifer is so much more sympathetic than the god of the Bible, even if he is an anti-villain. (Not to mention his adorable niece!)
Great, now I have to re-read Seasons Of The Mist
" How many clues do we need from Heaven to understand that the man in the White House is a devil from Hell?"
How many meds do you have to take before you realise heaven, hell the devil and santa clause don't exist.
An elderly Obama as Satan, played by a Vincent Price clone who didn't need the makeup to begin with...Jesus Christ, played by a deliciously hawt, prettyboy/surfer dude/model-looking white guy.
...If there's no ethnic bias involved, I would be ROYALLY surprised.
I personally think that they made Satan look like Emperor Palpatine, but that's probably just the hood and the wrinkles. And the fact that I'm a huge nerd.
That doesn't excuse the white-as-snow surfer boy they portrayed Jesus as, however.
Now here’s my take on it:
Now here’s my take on it:
No wait - that was wrong!
You are just a hateful racist bitch!
My brain is trying to escape my skull so I never make it read anything that stupid again.
Thank you so much. Now I have no brain...and oddly enough, I'm _still_ smarter than you appear to be.
@checkmate
Whoa! Misogynistic much? I know I'm a little late here, but I don't check this site every day. I'm surprised no one's said anything yet.
Seriously? I know some women don't communicate directly, but plenty of men don't either. Can't tell you how many times I had to coax information out of my most recent ex because I could never get what he was hinting at. As I was the woman, I was supposed to be inherently better at that. BS. You want to know why women tend to hint at things? Because we've been taught our whole lives that asking for what we want is un-ladylike and impolite. Makes you wonder who trained this god his whole life that it's bitchy to directly state what you want.
Here's me directly stating how I feel and what I want: Comparing all women to the crazy, fundie version of god is extremely insulting. I want you to think a little more before you post things about groups of people that you don't belong to. It was almost certainly meant to be harmlessly funny, but that post was degrading and I think you could have caught that if you'd thought about if for another second or two.
-------------------
As for the quote, if your god really wanted people to think Obama was Lucifer, there are far more effective ways. For one, he could make Obama sprout horns, or make a neon sign float above his head, or, you know, state it outright.
Actually, I don't think the picture looks like Obama except for maybe the cheek bones a little bit. But whatever.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
