Another element is this:PROPHETS always stand a good chance of being bumped off.This chance is increased if they come down from the hills into the marketplace,and still further increased if they come down unarmed.Prophets should only go unarmed into the marketplace if they think that their work is done,and are prepared to depart hence.
Some prophets take to arms.Even where the orginal prophet does not,his disciples may do so.The Devil must be fought with the Devil's weapons.This argumentatively sound but practically disastrous.For it means that the servants of God,the disciples of the idea,tend to descend to the Devil's level.As the organization grows,it deteriorates.Its leaders are not the men they were.
