As for priests and prophets, they're all talking to themselves and on that front everybody is equal.

Or what about reinterpretations by self-proclaimed prophets that are part of the many fascinating, sometimes scary, and sometimes sizable 'sects'?

Well, Islam does recognize the other prophets and their religions (so that includes Judaism and Christianity).

To rationalists, Christians and New Atheists look like two authority-based religions with different prophets.

Mark Rippetoe, who is one of the prophets of weightlifting (at least on reddit).

I think the origin of everything has nothing to do with human morality and It didn't send any sons/prophets.

I'm really tired of seeing poorly thought out rants from techno-prophets predicting unbounded exponential growth when economic growth is stagnating globally.

Check your source people, you are actively spreading disinformation by a known doomsday prophet, and like most doomsday prophets he has been wrong every time.

Discussions about god/religion usually are not like that; in particular, most religions are based on an implicit denial of all other religions/prophets/versions of the truth.

Obviously even economists end up disagreeing on that matter, given their political biases (though beware false prophets paid by wealthy people to spread lies and half-truths).

Then they sound like prophets, but then it's too late.

See also, "only priests/prophets/etc can reason about theology" or "only muslims suffering the shame of being related to a rape victim can reason about honor killings".

What I meant in my original post is that, out of the millions of ways to be amused, if you can simply write off "insulting prophets of Islam", I your Muslim friend would be very happy.

The only epistemic position you are left with is to robotically repeat the profession of the faith: "There is no truth but physics and physicists are that truth's prophets." Most self-proclaimed atheists are in the same boat as you, but far less aware of their ignorance of their own doctrines.

Then he goes on to explain to them how all that happened (including his crucifixion) fulfilled the prophecies of the Old Testament (verse 27): "And beginning at Moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself." If you don't believe in the supernatural, then it is extremely improbable that you will believe in Jesus.

Publicly blasphemes against the glory of God, or the great Prophets.
