“YOU ARE MY CHOSEN DISCIPLE. GO FORTH AND SLAY THE NON-BELIEVERS IN MY NAME.”
Don’t even say who you are. Everyone will just assume it’s the god they already believe in. And everyone who doesn’t believe in a god would start questioning everything.
“Message to all players: Resetting simulation in 24 hours”
“Did you just switch it to broadcast? Fuck, turn it off!”
“This is not you, this is god, you are the new messiah like my son Jesus before you. It is up to you to right all that’s gone wrong in my world. Many will come forward and say that they received this message but do not be fooled for that is Satan trying to defeat you.”
Then I get popcorn and watch the whole world burn.
I think if you said son or sons and left out “Jesus” you would get greater effect. Make it ambiguous enough that it calls to every Abrahamic religion.
use “your god” instead of god, “chosen one” instead of messiah and “evil” instead of satan and you get the polytheistic religions to join in as well.
also, some highly confused star wars fans, maybe.
I once sent a dozen of my friends a telegram saying ‘flee at once - all is discovered.’ They all left town immediately.
