People like Cruz enter public life because they've come to suspect the world isn't going to end -- not without their intervention, anyway -- which belies a nagging optimism on their part, IMO.
Cruz's ilk and other armageddon-seekers have a lot in common. They see people doing things not in accord with their book and yet they go on living without being struck down. The world is "sinful," yet it teeters on without getting smote. Since the idea that God might not act on their watch is too non-egocentric for most to consider, this leaves two possibilities -- that either God is dead/asleep/hiding/nonexistent (road seldom taken) OR that he expects them to step up and do his work for him (A task! A task!). They think a beautiful golden lollypop is waiting for them in heaven for having passed the test and for being such sharp monkeys.
Cruz should just concentrate on raising more money to breed blemish-free red heifers. The manual says Jesus won't be able to return without the rebuilding of the Temple of Solomon. AND, since, in order for the magic to work, the men that clear the temple mount in Israel will have to be dowsed with the ashes of sacrificed blemish-free red heifers, they're going to need a LOT of heifers. Cloning will probably be required.
But then... that goes without saying.
