[Prophet Neozche]

than previous word of mouth? God's previous Prophet sending efforts were pretty weak, I mean, why did he send them when we hadnt even perfect the technology of capturing communications is a manner that is sure to protect the orignial message.

If God really wanted to use the inferior method of sending human prophets to communicate his word, the best time to send them would have been now, in the communication age.

I guess God just wanted to do it in a time where smart people would have plenty of reason to doubt the authenticty of a just another lunatic claiming to have heard from God. This way God gets all the dumb people and can thus give over the earth to the meek, like he said he would.
