How many testified to "Elvish sightings"? And he wasn't a religious icon promising the resurrection of the dead. He lived in the modern age and not the superstitious time of 1st century Judea.
Why is it then so impossible to believe that ignorant and superstitious people wouldn't start believing fanciful tales about Jesus rising from the grave?
2000 years from now there will be Elivsists all over the place proclaiming Elvis as the true son of God and rose from the dead.
None of my kids (teens) even know who Elvis is now! Much less care...
Plus, Elvis didn't predict his own death(which probably would've been easy to do), or rising from it! His followers said "he never died".
Nor, did Elvis promise salvation, or even a new cadillac to his followers.
I think you are giving Elvis way too much credit! He proved himself human in many ways. And his legacy is fading away in nursing homes as we speak.
