Palantir Co-Founder Peter Thiel to Lead 4-Part Series on the Antichrist

I presumed it would be autobiographical but apparently there will be a healthy dose of religion and politics instead.

> During his chat with Kurth, Thiel shared his views on the Ten Commandments and identified which ones he believes are the most significant.

> "The Ten Commandments, the two most important are the first and last on the list. The first commandment is, you should worship God," Thiel reportedly told attendees. "The tenth commandment is, you should not covet the things that belong to your neighbor. In some ways, the first commandment is to look up, and the tenth commandment is you do not look around. And if you're too much focused horizontally on all the people around you, that's sort of the bad version you get caught up in."

Funny, but perhaps not surprising, that the billionaire Christian behind Palantir should so read the Ten Commandments and be so concerned with worshipping God and "don't touch my stuff." I'm reminded of Matthew 22:36-40: it boils down to two commandments, love God and love your neighbor as yourself.

So an autobiography then?

It is really discouraging to see the alleged business friendly side of the right peddle faith based stuff, given the power they wield. Any set of beliefs can become blind faith if it doesn’t involve openness to other ideas. But this notion of Antichrist and Christianity in general is inherently faith based. Bizarre.
