AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around a scene from the 1978 film "A Distant Thunder," where a character representing the Antichrist, Brother Christopher, offers a chilling ultimatum to individuals facing execution. He presents a way to avoid death by accepting a mandatory identification mark on their hand or forehead, likening it to the convenience of credit cards. The dialogue emphasizes urgency and manipulation, urging individuals to make a life-altering decision quickly, while also hinting at the potential reality of such a scenario in the context of biblical prophecy and the rapture. A participant in the discussion reflects on the scene, expressing that belief should stem from love and forgiveness rather than fear, indicating a philosophical divergence from the film's themes.

From the 1978 movie A Distant Thunder. The following statement is made by UNITE , the Antichrist government, when the mark of the beast becomes mandatory in the movie. Brother Christopher in this film is the Antichrist aka the Beast of Revelation 13. As you read the words below, keep in mind that this situation could become a reality in your lifetime, if the rapture of the church takes place and you are left behind.

===============================================Good morning. Today you will be executed but this need not be. According to the law, those of you here should never see another sunrise. However, I have good news for you.

Our great brother Christopher is so concerned with your welfare and your future, that he has provided a way for you to avoid going to your deaths. All you have to do is get up from where you are seated, and come forward and receive your ID.

It's painless, much like the credit cards you've used for many, many years. We don't want you to die. Brother Christopher does not want you to die. All you have to do is get up and come forward and receive your ID.

You will be given a mark either on your right hand or on your forehead. Is there anyone here who would like to go back to a loved one who at this very moment may be grieving over your fate? Raise your hand, anyone. Don't be concerned with that person sitting next to you and what they might think. This could be the most important decision you'll ever make. Do it now before it's too late!

For those of you who do not wish to take advantage of brother Christopher's generosity, your names will be called throughout the day in groups of four. At that time, you will be blindfolded and you will be escorted to the rear of the building where your blindfold will be removed and you will be given one last opportunity to take the mark and be returned to society.

Following your post, I looked up the movie you mention. All I can say (as an agnostic) is that I think belief is best based on love and forgiveness, not on instilled fear.
 
I was thinking hard of how to even respond, but I hadn't refreshed the page yet... When I did, I found my own thoughts staring back at me in this gif! Bravo.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
