The Lord isn't coming back. Prophecy isn't being fulfilled. We can wait for things to happen or we can get off our asses and make them happen. Yes, there are wolves in this world, but we don't need a shepherd to lead us to safety. We can sharpen our own claws and reclaim our own strength. It will take balls, but hasn't playing the victim gotten old? Are we not tired of fearing everything? Are we not tired of our lazy cynicism? Contempt for the world doesn't let us off the hook. If we want a paradise we must envision it and we must build it. We must not wait for it to be revealed in a rapture we were mislead to believe.
