Why hasn't any more prophets arisen representing god in the "big three" religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam? 2000+ years and God wants them to do the same shit day in and day out in repetition but hes never sent a new prophet to help guide the people? You could technically say Joseph Smith was the "true" last prophet, but many have their reservations over that. If religion is supposed to be the guiding light in our world, why does the supreme being leave everyone in the dark on how to follow it?
to test His creation.
we have to have faith in his guidance. that means following it even if we don't have 100% proof of its veracity. otherwise it wouldn't be faith.

word of mouth is not the primary means that news gets around anymore as it was

You ever get an email from someone claiming to be the prophet of god?

Because the "Big Three" are shambolic farces created by local conmen based off popular local beliefs of their times.

Appearances of God and prophets is negatively correlated with Man's ability to quickly and accurately record events with writing, audio, photo, and video.

Trump IS a prophet though.

This. Hitler was clearly a Messiah and once again the Jews killed the Messiah.
probably because it's not real and we have the scientific method to disprove any con man who claims to have supernatural powers now adays

I believe there was a prophet in Sikhism and they're in Afghanistan and India talking about how violence is bad so carry a sword lol.
Seriously though, after the crusades, I think both sides figured it out that it was the Jews all along, so they just went on jaw watch.
USA didn't get that memo.
Because fairy tales are impossible to fake in an age where everyone has cameras.
Why do you think the Catholic Church has stopped 'finding' miracles in the developed world?

We have our Savoir emperor Trump

You dont really need religion to figure out what he wants you to do. Shits obvious if you pay attention. Religion just helps sometimes. Makes it an organized effort.

This.
Because Muhammed is the last Prophet before judgement day.

There are plenty of small religion prophets rising every few years. But none of them will challenge the big religions(not just the 3 big western ones but also Buddhism) for the two following reasons:
1)Because we got better at recording facts.
For the past 600 years no one really could claim "miracles" and get legions of fans because there are too many scientifically minded people that would debunk them.
And now that we got cameras, it's fucking impossible.
2)The big religions are too big and influential. In particular Christianism, Islamism and Buddhism. Plus the big religions have(or had) expansionism government support in some way or the other.
For a new Prophet to be successful, he will need to have a very clear and simple message(or gimmick), find a way to create a miracle that people will believe it's real, and get government (and media) support to propagate the idea.
BTW, Judaism is very influential but not that big. It's pretty much limited to a ethnical group in the same way Shintoism, Hinduism, Confucianism and Taoism.
