Apparently last night’s episode of The Bible has created some rumblings in the political universe because the Satan character bears a resemblance to our current president, Obama.
Here’s a side by side comparison:
Just search Google News for ‘Obama Satan’ and you’ll see quite a few stories wondering if this was deliberate or not. Even Glenn Beck commented on it on twitter:
Anyone else think the Devil in #TheBible Sunday on HIstory Channel looks exactly like That Guy? twitter.com/glennbeck/stat…

The actor who played Satan is named Mehdi Ouazzani and actually looks like this without his makeup on:
Honestly I think this whole thing is silly and the fact that his face looks similar likely only a coincidence. I didn’t even notice it until someone else suggested it and it wouldn’t surprise me if no one in production ever noticed it.
What do you think? Coincidence or conspiracy?
