Alternative Religion

Austin and I were watching Star Trek: DS9, Ascension. A poet emerges after disappearing for 200 years, claiming to be the Emissary, a religious figure. A priest ends up killing another priest because of something the Emissary said.
Austin: That makes no sense. Just killing someone.
Me: The Emissary told him to do it. He’s a priest. Faith demands that he follows the Emissary.
Austin: I guess that would be easier. I wish God would just tell me what to do.
Me: I do.
