Wouldn't it be ironic?

What if we witnessed the second coming of Christ? For real?

And it was a huge story on CNN and MSNBC and FOX all day long. Rightfully so.

Then the big moment came. Larry King's "exclusive" interview (after he had already been on Greta and Extra) with Jesus.

And Jesus turned out to be a racist, paranoid, mean person.

That would suck.

2. If Jesus existed, he'd be pissed at the religious nutjobs.

3. You already have

The second coming of Christ takes place within the heart of the individual - those who value conscience, compassion, and decency embody the Christ consciousness and extend his spiritual presence into the world. When you saw Gandhi, King, RFK, and other dedicated humanitarian figures, you saw the second coming of Christ - the coming of his essence within the human heart.

This comes from a skeptical agnostic, BTW. Skeptical and agnostic - but spiritual.

5. A statement with which I agree.

But even so i do believe that there is something to the predictions of this event but it is not well understood, particularly among christians.

What they never seem to mention is what comes after the second coming, and that is a thousand years of peace where we beat our swords into plow shares and our spears into pruning hooks and every man sits under his own fig tree...
Or the fact that the second coming saves the world from destroying itself in some catastrophe that would "leave no flesh alive"

This spiritual idea that you express is a statement that yes we can be our own saviors.

6. Something I've always wondered...

If Jesus were to come again, how would anyone know it's really Jesus?

Would this person announce that he's Jesus? Would he be ridiculed for being a fruitcake? Who has the final say on whether someone is really Jesus or not?

And what if a woman comes forward and announces that SHE is Jesus?

Would the RW crazy biblethumpers go all spastic if Jesus turned out to be a gay man? How about someone born in the Middle East...what if he looked like a "terrist"? How's that for irony....

Imagine the possibilities...

9. FOX would call him a liberal commie islamofascist.

They get a LOT of mileage out of that bullshit.
