OH NOES! The Anti-Christ might use the "holograms"
Posted Thu, 11/06/2008 - 19:55 by bartleyI thought cnn's "holograms" (video here) were dumb, cheesy, and pointless, but I didn't realize how sinister they were. (AC = Anti-Christ)
He could realistically be everywhere at once. Now...how would one bring it to life (outside of just speaking)?
From the same thread:
Well the frightening thing is that AC will have this technology at his disposal to perform false miracles, such as projecting his image into the sky so that people think he's floating, or making himself appear to walk on water. Granted this technology requires a lot of equipment to record and project the image, so he can't do it just anywhere. But think about this, all he has to do is project his image into the sky (or onto the water) in one location before an adoring crowd, then simply televise that to the rest of the world. What a perfect way to trick the unbelievers into thinking he's the Messiah. People will believe anything in those times, he'll have little difficulty deceiving most of them.
emphasis mine.
They've also done experiments where they projected images of Jesus, Buddha, and other religious figures in the sky using the same technology. (By "they" I mean the government, not CNN).
to their credit, at least some of the posters there realize it's a video effect.
