prophets don't need to be perfect:
. all prophets have moments of inspiration
that may be the word from the god
but they are also influenced like the rest of us
by the devil(god of this world)
and personal or national opinions.
. Christianity's prophet, Jesus,
was lauded for being charitable
like other good Jewish people,
but also for being egalitarian:
reminding his fellow Jewish people
that we should not disown our brothers for past sins
as long as they promise to follow the law in the future.
. on the other hand,
while Jesus used magic mostly for medical cures,
he once used his magic to kill a public tree
just because it offered no fruit when he was hungry.
. Islam's final prophet was right about
the need to globalize morality,
not just enforce it within your own nation;
and was also right in declaring that Jesus
was a prophet --the word of the god--
not an instance of the god itself,
as the Christian's propose.
. on the other hand, Islam's prophet
endorsed some idea not of the god
assuming that the god wants only good:
Islam would try to conquer nations that were already civilized
and make them pay a tax or tribute if they were
not converting to Islam:
a dogma, a culture, and a language.
. just because these prophets had human moments
doesn't distract from the beauty and importance
of their Good-godly or moral messages.
