I'm just trying to keep you guessing, Bob, like I do with all the boys.

To determine whether a person is a prophet, I would need to hear what he has to say, and then I would need some type of mystical certification that he is divinely inspired. Obviously, such certification must be mystical in nature since the question is unrelated to the physical sciences.

What does mystical even mean? Also the problem here is that you are assuming that everyone believes in God. For people like us who don't, there can be no prophets of a God that does not exist, so I think you should have addressed your OP only to people who believe in God.

Also, why do you want people to believe you are a prophet? Will it change anything?

Bob reckons not believing in the supernatural is an un-American socialist plot.

Why change? Four quarters still ends up being a dollar.

Again, I'm not prejudiced against anybody, just obtuseness, and that's where people like you come in.

But five cans will never make a six-pack, Dalek, and it seems obvious that Bob has been sold short.

They will see reality through the eyes of Bob the Baptist and "The Ouzo Prophecy."
