Temporal Novice
We speak many languages. Now I am writing in a formal way. English is not the first language of my time.
And I didn't say I am against those religions.

I'm betting that our alleged 'time traveller', in response to my quite simple and reasonable test, will do one of :-
1) Ignore it, pretend he has not seen it....carry on conversing only with the gullible.
2) Mysteriously vanish....strange how a lot of time travellers do when put to the test.
3) Claim there is some technical problem, timeline divergence, blah blah....that prevents him performing the test.
All par for the course....
Missionaria Protectiva
The Bene Gesserit practice "religious engineering" through a faction called the Missionaria Protectiva, which spreads contrived myths, prophecies and superstition (collectively known as Panoplia Prophetica) among the populations of the Empire. A Bene Gesserit may then later take advantage of the prophecies, casting herself as a guide, protector, or some other figure in fulfillment of the prophecy, in order to manipulate the religious subjects for protection or other purposes. These myths also exploit religion as a powerful force in human society; by controlling the particulars of religion, the Bene Gesserit have a manipulative lever on society in general.
In Dune, Jessica and Paul take refuge among the Fremen after the attack on House Atreides. With his mother's guidance, Paul is able to make use of the planted myths by claiming to be Mahdi, a messianic figure from legendary material planted among the Fremen by the Missionaria Protectiva. That the Mahdi legend has been planted on Dune indicates to Jessica that conditions on Dune are truly awful, since this legend is reserved for only the harshest environments where a Bene Gesserit would need the maximum advantage over surrounding influences. Paul's meteoric rise to power is greatly facilitated by his association with the Mahdi legend.
I come from the other side. This is what I've been told from my relatives and this is what they've been told from their relatives before. In 2010 my timeline discovered a super-imposed universe living in our own. It was a discovery for both the universes. The year between the universes was different. Your timeline was in 2012.
I am currently in my brother's room. My brother lives in your timeline. In 2275. I can watch and send messages in the past through the huge capabilities of our version of Internet.
I will answer to any question.
And...My ancestors were the people you dream of, the people you don't know appearing in your dreams. Dreams are images and " cameras " of another universe.
