This is not the least common take on things, with people misguidedly 
seeking to possess or coerce their divine benefactor rather than follow 
his example. It is repeated in UOTNS with Apu Punchau, in the Ray 
Bradbury story, "The Man", the Terence Stamp/Udo Kier film, 
_Revelation_, and even the comic _G vs E_ series had the agents trying 
to earn enough points to win a personal meeting with JC Himself.
