British-American computer programmer John McAfee may be on the verge of taking blockchain technology into the socio-cultural religion system in an unimaginable way that seems fictitious.

However, the blockchain advocate looks to be making inroad in his attempt to spread blockchain adoption into every sector around the world. McAfee, in his statement, said he’s testing blockchain technology for a fundamentalist religious group.

The US presidential hopeful said the religious group aims at using the technology to monitor the fate of church members. Seems the transparency, immutability, and trustless feature of blockchain technology interested the religious group.

“Been consulting with a fundamentalist religious group that wants to use the Blockchain to ensure that church members are abiding by the faith (for real)”.

While extolling the usability and practicability of blockchain, McAfee opined that people who fail to embrace the technology may have lost their opportunity in getting eternal redemption.

“My concern: Those who have not embraced the Blockchain might be denied everlasting salvation. Am I doing the right thing”? McAfee said.

McAfee duly received responses on Twitter for his theoretical innovation. Most of those who joined the thread lashed the programmer for venturing into something that exceeds the capability of the technology, describing the situation as “building a blockchain to heaven”.

A twitter user who got a reply from McAfee believes the programmer’s attempt is wrong. He said it would be possible only if leaders of the religious group are in charge of faith, but then it would look like a cult.

McAfee in response said: “A pop paycheck is a paycheck.”

No. The fundamental question should be who is in charge of the faith? Is it God or is it the church leaders? If it is God, then why do the leaders need to constantly monitor the faithful? Of it is the leaders who are in charge of the faith, then it sounds more like a cult. — ceneblock (@ceneblock) December 31, 2019

In a fresh statement, the founder of the software company McAfee Associates, said the religious group aims at putting church members on blockchain technology and then discover their past sins through extrapolation.

“I proposed a reverse-fork simulation using 3rd order partial differential equations,” McAfee said.
