Pete it would be foolish in my view because a revelation is only a revelation to the person who claims to have had one.Once the word is passed on it becomes hearsay.All religions in my opinion are based completely on hearsay and lack any evidence for the things they purport to announce to the world.
There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
