I don't know much about the role of religion to produce art, but in reality Mikes states it nicely in that we are a good people, but boring and not very thoughtful or artistic.

What disappoints is if, we wish to prove our claim that we receive revelation, why are we always socially behind the times?

The only time when we ran counter-cultural were doing the pre-Manifesto days.

JS made a few prophecies that came true, gave as a result of some impetus known or unknown. And we've had good leaders since, but not very forward thinking.

BY was an empire builder, giving us good and bad, and DOM modernized us in many ways. During the early days we philosophized and allowed variants in thought and action.

But today, starting the abomination on the priesthood ban, with our version of many things such as ETB on Civil Rights, we are a backward people. If we wish to prove our claim of inspiration, where is it?

Where are the revelations to make us a better people? We are a good people, but are we satisfied with just being run of the mill IBM good?
