In a few thousand years, more or less, when the current gods
have been outgrown by mankind, do you think people will
create new gods as replacements? Or will they just chuckle
at the old ideas of super power dieties.
Maybe future generations, if they still haven't pushed
aside all fears and superstitions, will introduce new gods,
even on a regular basis to feed massive demands of the
technology charged populus. To keep things interesting and
exciting for a world audience hungry for new input,
they'll probably have to invent free-flowing religions
that keep changing. That might lead to the extreme
of having different gods picked by the masses on a
regular basis. If a god matches the needs of the
times, keep it. If not move on.
As future wirelessly-connected pop cultures crave new
and newer, it could happen that there is a new god
ever year, than every month and why not? Eventually
every week.
To maximize interest in new techno-religions, religious/
corporation/government leaders might try to create massive
world interest by producing a spectacular weekly media event.
The world gets to watch as an average person is selected
to become god. God for a week! The show would be highlighted
by a lottery style drawing with celebrities, music and dancing
girls. It would be viewed by billions:
"And the winner and your new God is....Billy Bob M. from
Memphis!!! Come on down and Bless us, Billy Bob!"
