Instruction for becoming christ v2.0?

[Ceritus]

Has anyone ever sat down and came up with a plan about how they could get the masses to believe they are christ 2.0?

I am very curious of such a quest even if it would only dwell inside my own mind. Although if clear instruction were to be made and seem plausable it would be hard not to embark on such a journey to simply show how foolish people can be in the end when the truth is revealed.

In the best way you can create such a list or add onto a list of prerequisites needed to make such a claim to be perceived as believable.

Virgin Birth? (would need a mother who is in on the scheme or one of which who has passed away and then claim an angel told her to not reveal the origin of the seed she birthed)

Ability to perform miracles (sleight of hand tricks or bigger?)

ect. ect...

You'd have to be christ 2.0 for some people and 3.0 for others. Sounds difficult.

I think David Koresh tried.

 

[Palimpsest]

Sathya Sai Baba claims to be a god-man, and his followers believe he's performed a lot of miracles. Even raised the dead a couple of times.

Don't you mean Christ 2^32. There's a lot of little tin gods on this planet.

Step One: write down everything you should have done in order to be the Second Coming. This may include raising the dead, assorted other miracles, being holy and pious, annoying people in high places, and dying and coming back to life - you could add a few original ones, like turning soup into chutney, and eschewing Windows for open source programs.

Step Two: tell people you've already done all of these things.

Can't fail.
