i obviously can't say from experience, but i'd guess that things are at a worse condition than they were 2000 years ago before jesus arrived.

maybe we're in for another christ. i hope so.
You're forgetting your parables... When they kill the son the father come to stuff them. If anyone needs to stuff the human race that is, them sealevels arising.
