17. Hawkings Predicts "Greatest Event in Human History"

Sun Aug 16, 2015, 05:34 PM

Aug 2015

We've witnessed a perfect storm of technological advancements that brought us to this point.

---

The ad square contains a Hawkings' twisted face; in the Hawkings' gaze a shadow figure (that may be Satan); and a Christian cross in the sky in an array of light beams and clouds.

---

This has been the most frequent ad in the right top OP box for me at DU recently.

So far have never even been tempted to click.

That narrative is spread all over the internet, one could guess that the more one looks the more one will find.

Creepy that so many folks would participate in floating and even believing this crap.

Shit is going to happen, who knows when and where.

Some people are in the crossfires of personal versions of existential events.

What humans are capable of believing and doing and ignoring is awe inspiring and dark.

Nuts but also dark.

While bizarre, this is no more absurd than any other religious belief. cleanhippie Aug 2015 #9

Hey, how do you know Jesus didn't do those things? You weren't there. BillZBubb Aug 2015 #15
