If you were a prophet or a future religious figure, the most evil thing you could recommend would be for your followers to write down your words, then expect those words to be obeyed, rigidly, forever more.

It is arguments over written words that have inspired some of the greatest acts of evil the world has ever seen, that have created unending divisiveness and conflict and have perpetuated inequality and discrimination over the centuries. It is arguments over written words that have had allowed good people to do very bad things, all the time believing they were doing good.

So, if you were a prophet or a future religious figure and you really wanted to do good, then it’s enough to ask people to be nice to each other.

And then to say nothing more.
