In any case, it would be pretty cool if those passages included angelically-relayed instructions on how to fly spacecraft, Chariots of the Gods† "ancient astrounaut"-style and use water to teach people to read and write which seems like a good life-skill to pass on.

* Plus an addendum by some guy who apparently came from an island known for its mushrooms.

† But von Daniken ended up being jailed for fraud a couple of times, IIRC. I have a comic book about that.



BTW - Now that we have meds for those who hear voices (and nice jail cells for them to stay in, if they act upon the instructions), how will the next hot religions get started?
