To be very brief, I think a large part of the prophetic message is
just about clearly and persuasively rearticulating certain truths
which are already accessible through moral reasoning.
And another part of the prophetic message is giving people guidance on
things where moral reasoning is limited or unclear.

And again, in particular, before Bahaullah declared that slavery was
prohibited, it was possible for morally sensitive human beings to see
how the institution was being implemented, and could see the
brutality, and suffering and greed which was at the root, and so they
could see that slavery was morally problematic without having to be
told.<
Interesting. I know you see that religion fits in, but can you elaborate on
that?
