I have to admit, I find the at once narcissism and self loathing fascinating.

Too bad we can’t respond in that particular thread something like: “We have proof that at least one human is defective!”

Either that, or he loathes when he self-loves.

In summary, it’s a guy peddling the idea that the Eclipse of 2017 is a sign of the return of Jesus as predicted by Nostradamus, and how it won the James Randi paranormal challenge thing. It seems to be a bunch of ramblings by [Dennis Markuze](http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Dennis_Markuze).

Honestly, the site he linked is so wackadoodle that I will link [an archived version](http://archive.is/aJeBM) for your perusal. (That way you don’t give it views, and it can’t change.)

I’m bothered by this Nostradamus thing. It doesn’t seem right. The difficulty is that there will be 68 total eclipses this century, and there were 71 in the 20th century, and similar numbers in previous centuries. Taking it all at face value, we must already be awash in Jesuses, with more of them descending on us with every eclipse. I suspect that maybe Nostradamus and our new poster were using “Jesus” as a metonym for a Mexican dude – it’s quite a common name down there, it’s just not pronounced the way he thinks. Perhaps the idea is that while everyone is distracted marveling at the sudden mysterious darkness, these Mexican Jesuses do some unofficial border crossing without actually having valid papers. The concern is that they may be intending to deal crack.

I’ve lived in California for years. The place is already “awash with Jesus”.

It does. Although I am more surprised that Markuze was able to resist posting all the text of the storify on his post. That’s his usual style when he’s violating his parole conditions.
