Here's an idea for a short story. A Jewish physicist from near future travels back in time to Biblical times. He sought out Jesus and described the future after his death, all the countless wars and slavery carried out in his name. Jesus subsequently turned himself in to the Romans in shame.

I think the world will be a better place if Confucius is wiped out from our memory as well. Sure he's got a few good points, a (dictatorial) society with emphasis on justice and education can't be bad; but a family cannot be based on love and respect and harmony without intimacy. I charge Confucius with abolishing intimacy from most of the East Asian families.

It could also be said that intimacy just takes on a different strand, a decidedly Occidental strand. Again, as usual, I have no point. Just needed to get this shit off my mind so I can drive the insomniac hordes out of my head.
