:If you understand ''prophet'' to be one who creates prophecies, then no, [[Martin Luther King]] and [[Mother Theresa]] are perhaps not, but the other definition of prophet is ''someone who speaks for God'' and I believe that many people would agree that they both did. <font color="FF8700">[[User:Vossy|Vossy]]</font>^{<font color="CC0000">[[User_talk:Vossy|speak]]</font>} 21:35, 14 April 2007 (EDT)

Many people might agree on a lot of things - but consensue does not make encyclopedic knowledge.
