Quote:This is the problem with prophecies; unless they are deadly accurate and not vague in the slightest, or predicting things that could easily happen, they are pretty much worthless.
The Athenians famously asked the Oracle of Delphi what to do about the Persians bearing down on them. They were told to stand behind their wooden wall. Some interpreted this to mean the palisade on top of the Acropolis which was quickly breached by Persian soldiers who killed them and burned the Acropolis. After the Battle of Salamis where the Athenian navy trounced the Persians everyone "understood" that the Oracle meant the "wooden wall of ships." Should we now believe in Apollo because of this "miracle?"
Maybe sacrifice a goat or two, Theo?
