People say
"They go along with the consensus viewpoint. They say, 'Oh yes, this is real,' but only because so many people think it is real. Or they say, 'This is not real' because what they are considering has very little agreement concerning it." [1]
At a Time of Revelation
"So when a real Message from God arrives, it is immediately disputed and denied. People say, 'Oh, well, God gave all God’s Messages long ago. There is no need for a new one,' as if God has lost interest in humanity and has nothing more to reveal to humanity. People say, 'There is only one true faith, as if God only had one Message to deliver and has been neglecting humanity ever since. Some people say, 'Oh, well, this can’t be real because the Messenger is not performing miracles,' "as if performing miracles is a sign of Divine right and responsibility." [1]
When aware of the Great Waves of change
"Perhaps people will say, 'Well, I am very hopeful things will turn out well.' Perhaps they will say, 'Well, we will meet these challenges with new technology.' Perhaps they will say, 'We have been through difficult times before, and we will endure and emerge successful here.'"[2]
