Jesus of Suburbia?

This story is a bit old, but I don't believe it has been posted here, so...

Apparently Jesus (as in God) returned some time ago, and He lives ourside Houston.

Hence my question for the Christians on the board - have you been by to visit Jesus yet?  When are you going?  I am guessing this means the end of days is near - how are you changing your ways in preparation?

Yeah cause, every Christian believes this guy....

Waaaait, Why are christians following a self proclaimed anti christ? Thats like my bible teacher bowing down to marilyn manson(who is amazing might I add.) It doesnt make sence!!!

...........wow

Idiots...

Anyway, the guy went from preaching, to proclaiming himself the apostle paul, to proclaiming himself the second coming. I guess Jesus has a case of indecision?

However, tis the season. Hispanic people (no racist offense, but it's true) around here are very religiously superstitious, which translates to people like this man to $$$.

Namely because 80% of the hispanic people from around here have deep roots in Catholocism, a religion where you follow the institution of the church closer than the religion itself. I knew of a man, for instance, who died, and his family was told at time of funeral that the priest would need monthly installments totalling up to several thousands of dollars to pray the man into heaven. And idealogy like that is common around here.

Obviously everything this man says and does is complete blasphemy to the Bible itself-if they actually read their Bibles.

I thought he was talking about the GD song at first..

Not sure how to respond to this.  Jesus was a very common name at the time Christ was born and still isn't that uncommon outside of the states.  Just having the name Jesus and thinking you are in fact him doesn't satisfy much, but he could very well be the one, no way to know.

Also, Clark, Jesus was not God, he was his son.

Nay.

Clearly Jesus only shows himself on breakfast foods.

So saith Pancake Jesus.

Ah religion, how many more times..? Look the guy thinks he's jesus and people obviously believe him let them, they have to put up with it in the after life not me, and if I'm wrong then I'm wrong so what.

My conclusion:  Christians don't actually like Jesus.

Every time somebody declares himself Jesus returned, the non-Christians of the world respond with a giant "what's on TV?" - But Christians go nuts with anger and indignation, invariably declaring Jesus a sinner and a fraud, and probably a tool of Satan.

Shouldn't the churches of the world at least check?  Doesn't this approach pretty much guarantee that Christians will miss the boat when Jesus DOES reappear?

What are y'all waiting for?  Choirs of angels, trumpets, and parted skies?  That was what the old Jews were waiting for, and see where that got THEM!  Jesus came in riding a donkey and tore down the temple.  Didn't any of you read the Gospels?  Didn't any of you learn anything from them?

Christianity is a religion built entirely on the "gotcha" of Jesus Christ - what makes you think He isn't going to try the same thing again?  Don't you think that His reappearance will be a test, or do you think that you are somehow special and He will give you special advance notice?

But, given the consistent negative reaction to announcements of Jesus, I can only conclude that Christians don't really want Him to return.  Christians love the IDEA of Jesus - witness how excited people get about Jesus on toast or in a tree - but the ACTUAL Jesus is too frightening to contemplate.
