That's good stuff man, you should write a book.

What if some of the great spiritual leaders, whose life and teachings became the foundation of the worlds religions knew that in the future people would follow them based on a written text of scriptures. Why didn't they spend their time on earth writing those texts themselves?  If they could prophesy events in the future they surely would know that their followers would spend most of their energies studying arguing and sometimes killing each other over texts that someone else would be writing.  Why didn't they just write the text themselves?  Why instead did they send their energies making disciples, writing their legacies on the stained parchment of humanity. If they came back incognito and got involved in their movements today would they jump into the arguments of interpretation or simply begin making disciples again?  Hmmmm?
