However, all the evangelists who claim they speak for God, and therefore must have talked to him, are believed.
Ordinary people who think the same thing are put away. Why?
My guess would be that the evangelists don't like it! After all, if just ANYONE can speak for God, where's the incentive to give all your money to the REALLY slick operators?
