If an alien scout came to Earth, I wonder what he (she?it?) would make of all our churches, temples, cathedrals, shrines, and religious rituals. What were those strange symbols, incantations, costumes, elaborate rites about? And I'm sure that a Catholic mass would seem every bit as bizarre as the wildest, drum-driven ceremony in the African bush or along the Amazon. Men beating their heads against a wall in Jerusalem, raving in non-languages and tossing around snakes in Appalachia--what the fuck! [alien equivalent]
Then imagine this visitors's further bewilderment upon discovering that nearly all our mass killings and wars were connected to these baffling institutions.

I like all your hypothetical alien scout ideas.
