I'd be thought of as a prophet. Some may even base a whole new religion on me..... weird isn't it?? Are many of todays religions based on the ramblings of the mentally I'll? Take David Koresh for instance, he was able to suck people in and he was a right mental. What do you think? if you can..

Those "mental" prophets back in the day served a purpose. Have you ever seen Caligula? It's an old movie about a roman emperor. If there was no religion, Heffer, the Playboy guy, would be the stereotype of the world: old men creating orgies with females of any age. If you're broke you're stuffed!
Join a church, pretend you're faithful, and see how many gorgeous "angels" flock to your side- job or no job, money or not- they'll think God sent you!

Actually you would be considered a crackpot regardless...don't forget Koresh and Jones were considered radically delusional cultists...

I've been saying for years that if Jesus came back he'd be locked away in a mental hospital. ;) Where as 2,000-5,000 years ago, this behavior was acceptable, today we know the reasons for it. Most of the supposed prophets were more than likely insane.

The key difference is whether or not you threaten listeners with everlasting hell if they fail to heed your warning. You must scare them into believing.

I used to hear threatening voices all the time, in fact, they terrified me so mch that I divorced that woman, and now I don't hear her voice any more. The peace is wonderful!
Peace

Reminds me of Mark Twains line: we have the fools on our side, and that is a big enough majority in any town.

There's a chance you'd be put in a hospital if you say you are god, as well.
