LOL, Apparently Obama is the reincarnation of Constantine.
Ran into this crazy site spouting nonsense about soul types and soul ages:

http://personalityspirituality.net/articles/the-michael-teachings/reincarnation-the-35-steps/the-young-soul

Another prominent Young Priest in history was the Roman Emperor Constantine (above right) who, according to at least one Michael channel (Holly Coleman), is now the Mature Priest known as Barack Obama.

:rofl:

1. Someone else has published some kind
of silliness about certain people today being reincarnations of previous people based on how much the present and past persons look like each other.

2. Calling Constantine a priest is a bit of a stretch.
Kind of like calling the POTUS a general. Yeah, the emperor was techically head of the priesthood, but it wasn't his profession or expertise.

5. I think the person making that claim
has divided people into certain archetypes, such as priest, warrior, and so on. IF you buy into those archetypes, then it would make sense.

3. I wouldn't want that association
On some date between 15 May and 17 June 326, Constantine had his eldest son Crispus, by Minervina, seized and put to death by "cold poison" at Pola. In July, Constantine had his wife, the Empress Fausta, killed at the behest of his mother, Helena. Fausta was left to die in an over-heated bath.

Even by their fairly low standards, that's some priest there!
