That Jews throughout the old testament denounced prior generations is no revelation. The Jews were like American politicians, blaming everything bad on the previous administration. These prophets who denounced prophecy weren't denouncing all prophecy, just the obviously false prophets whose activity preceded God reaching out his hand and blotting the Israelites into the landscape in prior years. None of these "denouncers" were denouncing their own prophecy, or even prophecy in general; they were skeptics, not of prophecy, but of the prophecies of other people. Since political regimes, like many diseases, have erratic and unpredictable courses, there is almost no point in old testament history when one Jew wasn't blaming another Jew for his or her collective misfortune. Some might say this is a trait they have yet to collectively outgrow.

Is it time to bring out the fact that there is no evidence the Exodus ever actually happened, so one half of Drich's entire argument is simply composed of "shit the Jews made up" ? The other half being the supposed dark ages, which weren't as dark as supposed, include both the Muslim flowering and the Carolingean renaissance, and have considerably more complex causal histories than church = darkness. (Including a mini ice age and a pandemic. Of course, this is all angels that dance on the head of a pin, because this "free will" that is supposedly divinely compromised is just yet more made up shit that doesn't exist.)
