So why is it that you'll dismiss the islamic and mormon religions because their god claims come to the people via normal men, whereas you'll accept completely the exact same concept when it purports to come from the god you believe exists?
And again, if prophets aren't an adequate basis for the truth of a religion, then the god that you believe Jesus to be did not have an adequate basis for his religion, and when he claimed to be the son of that god, you should have no reason to accept that.
