Anti-christ because of things done in the past that you are generally afraid will affect your startup or because of a general sentiment of them being "evil"?
If the latter, then not evaluating them because of it sounds like bad business mojo to me...
Bad experience at both the merchant and user end. Spreedly who I had never heard of till this post integrate with 2 Australian payment gateways so that will be worth checking out I think.
We are trying to go through NAB now for a US billing merchant account and honestly they are the Antichrist. It's been three and a half months and we are still not there yet. Painful is an understatement.
