Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.It seems that since the beginning of time, people have wanted to give what they say legitimacy and greater power by ascribing it to someone else who is perceived to be more powerful or authoritative. So, instead of saying, "This is what I think," they turn it into "This is what God commanded me to say!"
