Future Religious Deceptions

To ensure that the existing followers of a certain religious group will continue to follow their self-made leader and even to attract more followers; the leader and his cohorts may devise some “miracles”.

With the recent technological advancements; these deceptions may appear in any of these forms:

1. Take advantage of cloning; the aged leader may disappear and later on, his clone will surface and will tell the story that they wish to tell to their unsuspecting members. The story may be of physical transformation with blessings from Above.
2. One may deceive others by taking advantage of drugs. Have you watch a tv series entitled “Flatliners”? Here, a guy injected a drug to his system that literally stops the beating of his heart for a few minutes; that at this span of time, his spirit may communicate with the other spirit he wished to. His friends will revive him later on. This scheme may reenact the rising from the dead of Jesus. And, an ambitious religious figure may take the risk for this scheme just to gain more followers.
3. Those religious groups that worship idols or religious images, figures and statues may make use of Hollywood Magic just to entice their followers’ loyalty.
