Christ Is Bigger Than Elvis

Like Elvis, Christ was more idolised after his death, about 300 years after, actually. And of course, all the folk tales about him were embellished and exaggerated beyond belief.
Elvis was no more than a singer who happened to make it big at the right time and certainly, in the years before his death, his career was well in decline. He died in a most humiliating way; sitting on the toilet seat.....his digestive system was so clogged up due to excessive amounts of drugs he could not even perform "the last movement".
That last effort which brought about a fatal heart attack was Elvis's best career move by far. He was idolised well beyond what he achieved as an artist and his popularity is still happening. The money-hungry, womanising, drug-addicted, overweight slob was worshipped as an inspirational hero who could do no wrong.

As we all know, Christianity is definitely on its way out, except for a few spikes around the world (e.g. Russia and Syria); Churches are emptying and closing down at a great rate. I have no doubt that, as more countries become more affluent and the populations more educated and secular, all other mainstream religions will disappear.

Now, let's fast forward to a little more than three hundred years time. A bunch of outcast hermits living on the outskirts of town dig up a pile of magazines; one of them a copy of Time dated December 4, 1978. They get a couple of Chinese translators (we will all be talking Mandarin, of course) to transcribe the text, expand it more than just a little, then call it the Bible. And what do you know, we have a new religion and Jim Jones is the new Messiah who died for our sins.

Not to be outdone, sometime later a guy called Mu Ham (remember we will all have Chinese names then) digs up a copy of Time magazine dated May 3, 1993, gets it translated and calls it the "Koresh."

Don't we see the great circle of life come into play here?
