how do you tell the difference between a false prophet and a 'genuinely' god-powered one with 'real' revelati

All the survival of other religion can show that for some reason Mankind has always had a need for the spiritual. I would say beyond all reason we have an Instinctive soul awareness for God. Some may have dampened their instinct or suppressed it but it wont go away.

How can you assume that applies to each and every person in the modern world? I would be less hasty to doubt you if we were discussing this a couple thousand years ago, but in the modern world there are millions of people who never doubt that there is no deity that created this universe. It's the same explanation that I'm sure you've heard before: Religion was the only explanation in the past. That is no longer true. And many more people are starting to turn to explanations that can be proven.
I march against the Asagods
To bring the end of time.
I am pure and endless pain
And Surtr is my name.

See me rise, the mighty Surt,
Destroyer of the universe.
Bringer of flames and endless hurt
Scorcher of men and Earth.
