Oh but the issue is so much deeper than that, A.L. God is not dead. You just don't believe in him. God does indeed send us prophets and angels, we just don't call them that anymore. Someone of belief would say that people like MLK Jr., Pope John Paul II, Mother Teresa, the anonymous good samaritan who saves the life of a stranger and many others fit all the qualifications of the old prophets and angels described in the bible.
This is not to mention that you can't successfully argue "God is dead" any more than a believer can argue "There is a God." You have every right to believe that if you want and every right to proselytize until you're blue in the face, but declaring your personal belief as a universal truth is nothing short of delusional.
