Perhaps the prophets were/are not honored because the people of average intelligence remember names like Jim Jones, David Koresh, Warren Jeffs ..

For every true prophet (given there IS such a thing) there are a thousand, charlatans, lunatics and deluded souls. Society is quite right to steer clear of them!!
