We know that the original manuscripts did not have punctuation marks. Translators added them in the way that supported their beliefs. So, remove the commas and quotation marks from Mark 24:5 and you are left with this:
For many shall come in my name saying I am Christ and shall deceive many.
Isn't that exactly what the Christian religion and Christian churches often do -- deceive many using Christ as their authority? I'd say Old Scratch hit a home run in his game to deceive. It's also a far better description of "Antichrist" than it being an individual.
