'God' isn't going to do it. Why do you think you're still waiting after 2,000+ years? He's waiting for you to do something on your own for a change. The Hutterites aren't waiting around for god to drop the kingdom into their laps. They're building it themselves. And they will have his blessing.

Then join the Hutterites if you admire them so much.

How long do you think it will take them to 'fix' the world?

Is that due to inbreeding or proselytizing?

That's less than 400 converts a year.

So is there a good-cop-bad-cop, John-the-Baptist-Jesus thing going on here -- brimstone Dawkins prepares the grounds with heavy artillery fire (The God Delusion), AC Grayling mops up the survivors with tough love and light?
