"I don't care if it rains or freezes, long's I got my Alien Jesus...

Fox — 6/7/2006 2:08:49 AM (archived)

Some of us will remember A Case of Conscience, by James Blish, as well as Jesus on Mars, by Philip Jose Farmer.

There are other books, I'll bet, which explore whether or not the appearance of a seemingly-divine saviour is unique to Earth and humans... Those are just the only ones I can think of. Mind you, the appearance of a divine saviour remains fiction to most of the current inhabitants of Earth, too...

On the other hand, there's Crazy Eddie (cf. The Mote in God's Eye).
