Haha very close! I was thinking more along the lines of we could use bots to "confirm" future Gospel stories for whatever religion comes next. Setup normal boring accounts that one time post something like "there was a street preacher out today and I saw him do some miracles. People are saying he is the Messiah".
Basically pull a Josphius. A thousand or so years from now "historians" will argue that this religious figure must have existed since we have an ancient tweet about him.
Sounds more than anything like a couple trying to establish grounds for divorce back in the day when no fault divorce didn’t exist. You had to claim abandonment or infidelity or some other fault to give yourself standing for divorce.

They're spelled differently, so no. They're also pronounced differently.

Yeah, well, imagine going to school and being called Bethuel. Sounds like free swirlies for life.

In 1840, going to school and not being named something like Bethuel was what got you bullied.

I keep thinking with AI and social media we could easily prank the future hard via religion.

Kind of amazing, ignoring the obvious stress and turmoil. Such a slice of life.

Speak for yourself, I'm interested in the sugar & molasses. Stocks are low and my family needs to hunker down for the long winter.

Can I interest you in news of the great molasses flood of 1919?

Thank God that steer was found. I don't even want to think what would happen if they didn't.
