the fatal flaw in all prophet-based religions - where the ‘prophet’ has to be believed in before the god of such ‘prophets’ can be.

That's a good point... although I notice that most religionists start out trying to convince me that there is a God. I think the plan is to first get their foot in the door, so to speak, and then convince me that their particular prophet is the kindest, or most believable. I guess the logic is that once you've convinced someone to believe in one thing, you can sell them add-ons more easily.

Marketing 101, this is how HP sells their printers, they sell them cheap with ink cratridges that are 1/4 the way full, but the ink refills are the expensive part and in the end cost you many times the price of the printer.
