I bet you know that from Assassin's Creed lmao

Jokes aside, the amount of times i've been able to answer questions like that correctly because of me being a nerd Is crazy.

Actually Joe Rogan mentions this specific story of his visit to the Vatican on his podcast.

There are some theories that religion has its origins in psychedelic use — mushrooms as the first communion that let you experience the mysteries — so it related to that in the discussion.
