The Middle Distance

I don't know -- creating a living being from scratch (no pun intended) still really seems like it still ought to be something only God can do, in the framework of the mythology and all. But other cosmologies are full of deities and demigods impregnating themselves and the like. I just can't let go of the idea that the incarnation of the Antichrist should mirror the incarnation of Christ (while parodying or blaspheming it in some way).
