False Evangelical Prophets mixing with far right wing extremist politics is a volatile combination.

5. Next question: What's a prophet?

The dictionary definition is "a person regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God."

Even if God existed, why is a given person regarded as (the rest of the definition)? How are we to distinguish one preacher from another?

Some preachers have a large following, but why? Presumably, their preaching presses emotional buttons in large numbers of people, and those followers will then feel that the preacher is truly proclaiming the will of God, but why does anyone else pay attention to the emotional reaction of those followers?

For example, why does a conman like Billy Graham have a statue in the U.S. Capitol?
