It started out as a big joke on a few of the prophets of old. They claimed the job of prophet was hard and that they, themselves were really nearly perfect humans and they did a bang up job at that prophet thing. Because the title alone, makes you one hellofa man!
God and Jesus had a hearty laugh over this. Then they plotted. "Hey Jesus, let's get on down to the New World and pick the biggest loser in New England and tell him he's a modern day prophet and see just how long it takes before he's screwing every filly in the neighborhood. How long do you think it will take? One month? One year? How long before they shoot him?"
