You're quite right, it does indeed get wearying and old; the fact that you acknowledge this, along with acknowledging the ludicrousness of trying to shift that burden as a means of shoehorning any old shit into uncontested consideration, is very revealing.
As to this thread you want to start: to my recollection, it was something about how do you tell the difference between a false prophet and a 'genuinely' god-powered one with 'real' revelations. If you're genuinely interested, you could always do a search of my and your own posts. You know - just like I'd have had to do.
I thought it was something like that but I was more lazy than disinterested and I know its gonna be hard work ; but i'm learning a lot on this forum as i'm forced to go and read up more as I go along. I will start it now but I may not get stuck in till tomorrow.
