Christ is coming back!

[Svartalf]

No, I haven't turned into a loon... I don't need that to be obnoxious.

So I was wondering... why if chretins fucking obsessed with Jesus' second coming?
In the early days, I might have found that normal... after all, he had yet a lot of things to do to fulfill the Messianic prophecies, so it was reasonable to believe that he wasn't going to make people wait that long...

by 150 AD, when the johannine crap was out and there was talk that John Apostle had been made immortal and the normal human lifespan was clearly exceeded... well, they should have started understanding that it wasn't that imminent.

By the 300s, the council of Nikaia and a certain consensus that Jesus' messiahood was spiritual rather than worldly, it was clear that there was no hurry.

After the fall of Rome, there was even less of a hurry, yet people still were expecting him to come back....

Well, here we are, 2000 years later, and morons are still getting convinced that Jesus is coming back and that they'll be seeing it and that Revelations is a true prophecy that applies to events they are living through rather than bald lies or the ravings of a lunatic...

How comes that so many are convinced of that crap?
If I were still one of them, I could understand the use of living the good life so as to be ready, just in case... but getting convinced that you're one of the chosen and that you'll see it and be raptured (or live 1000 years of perfect prosperity or whatever)... when you have to know that millions of others have held such beliefs and nothing has happened yet... beside the fact that this is clearly hubris, there's a measure of cognitive dissonance that I just can't get though my thick noddle.

So, what's your take?

He is coming back, he probably just got held up on the M6, almost certainly around Stoke. It's always busy around there.

[Svartalf]

Around Stoke? Does that mean that Trent Reznor truly is the antechrist?

Jesus is not coming back. He isn't going anywhere. He's been grounded by his dad for stirring the shit with you lot. I'm on guard duty. If he returns I've orders to kill him again but quicker and with less publicity.

English is a popular language because it lacks a logical structure you realise?
