All we have are scriptures and texts that could have been a series of meme that built/improved from eachother but lost the common knowledge between the generations that it was fictional.

A lot of what was written about Jesus was done hundreds of years when he allegedly lived, but done in a way that appears to be written at the same time he was alive. Do he's really more of a shit post that people thought was real.

Chuck has a great shot at becoming the messiah of a new religion then cause the holy book of Norrisism has already been written, it's called Chuck Norris Facts.

A fair bit of the old testament was written the same way. In fact one of the most prolific "oracles" of the old testament got everything right, right up until he was actually making predictions, because he was writing in 400 BCE about a time that covered 800-600 BCE, as though he were writing it in 800 BCE.

ETA: dates made up as I don't remember exactly when he was writing

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
