1. I strongly refute the assertion that "prophets have advanced humanity".

Edited on Thu Aug-24-06 01:28 AM by greyl

Humanity doesn't needs neither prophets, nor salvation.
I think the frustration expressed in your post concerns our culture, not our species.

Anyway, I do agree that will and responsibility are more valuable than escapism. But, what prophet hasn't been more a proponent of a better life after this one, rather than saying "this one is all we have, brothers and sisters."?
