What would you do if Jesus turned out to be real and came back?

[rancher of monsters]

Not care perhaps? Wouldn't change shit in my life so meh.

Yes, because the discovery of the true messiah would have no effect on politics, alternate faiths, or the life of the common man at all.

(Anyone else reading this post, yes, God is fictional, he doesn't exist and deep down every last person on the planet knows it, you just don't want to admit it).

That is a belief more ridiculous than any religious doctrine I have ever heard.

That's impossible, NOTHING could be more ridiculous than religious doctrine. Seriously though, it's so painfully obvious that God doesn't exist that the fact that ANYONE believes in him or any other gods for that matter shows just how incredibly desperate for false hope the fear of death has made mankind.

I disagree, the claim that all people deep down know that there is no God is ludicrous. Honestly, for someone who seems to be athiest your spreading an idea that seems rather religious in nature. Somehow all people just magically know that there is no force geater then them in the universe? Personally, I would never have the balls to claim that there is no God(s) for two reasons. One, I am human and therefore I am a flawed creature. There will always be things that exist above our comprehension at this point in our evolutionary line, and more then likely for all our predecessors to come. So for any animal (humans are simply very intelligent animals) to claim that there is no higher power at work in our universe seems to be a rather narcissistic to me. Second, science is constantly learning more about the universe and dismissing what was once considered to be undeniable fact. Who's to say that some of the same logic used to prove or disprove the existence of God won't be shown to be completely false one day?

On topic:
*sees Jesus walking down the street*
Me: Um... Jesus, Lord?

Jesus: Yes Rancher?

Me: Are we, ya know, cool?

Jesus: Could you watch less porn?

Me: *blushes* yeah.

Jesus: Then we're cool.

Me: Great, so do we have some time before the whole revalations thing?

Jesus: Yes.

Me:.............. Do you wanna play Tekken?

Jesus: Okay, but if you use Bob I'm sending you to hell.

Rebel against his father, since, I guess it would turn out that troll is real. Wait, does that make me a fallen angel in Lucifer's army?

Heh, I'd be the first to join your rebellion, God is easily the most evil and sadistic creature in all of Fiction. Also, no, wanting to destroy God doesn't make you a Fallen Angel, it just makes you a sensible human being. (Anyone else reading this post, yes, God is fictional, he doesn't exist and deep down every last person on the planet knows it, you just don't want to admit it).

Wait, you have "frieza" in your name and you're calling God "the most evil and sadistic crature in all of Fiction", you should know better. Also, my Cell avatar plus your Frieza screenname is going to make people think our rebellion against God is made entirely of Dragon Ball villains. Then they'll sick Gok-er Jesus on us...

In all seriousness though, deep down every last person on Earth doesn't secretly doubt there's a god. I bet a bunch of them do (That's how I came to my Atheism, never really believed in the first place) and are counting on Pascal's Wager, but the most hardcore of them don't. And I'm not just talking about extremists...

Yes, God is worse than Frieza, if he did exist all of the suffering in the entire world is either directly or indirectly caused by him. I can easily imagine God saying "let there be light!" creating the universe and then saying "Well, maybe now there will be something good on T.V., I'm so tired of the nothingness channel". Then he'd sit down and spend eternity laughing, crying, or whatever at our suffering, and like we do when we watch T.V. not do a thing about it.

Oh, and everyone doesn't secretly doubt God exists, they KNOW, but for various reasons won't admit it to themselves, denial and lack thereof that's what makes the difference between relgious and Atheist.

And how do you know what everyone on earth thinks? How in the world can anyone be so fucking arrogant? Note, this is coming from an atheist

Admittedly, I don't know what every person on Earth thinks, I'm just giving humanity the benefit of the doubt. If there really countless people out there that believe without even the slightest doubt in God or Gods of some sort despite all the evidence to the contarty, so much that they will give up everything they have for it, even their lives, then humanity is truly screwed.

 

[Bluedemon322]

Seriously re-examine my life and belief system with my new found knowledge and then drink myself under the table.

 

[putowtin]

"bugger, guess I lose the bet, eh Jesus!"

 

[AntiChrist]

I'd ask him which religion he represents. If he answers: "Christianity," I'll ask wether he refers to Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, or Protestantism.

He was actually Jewish. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Not just Jewish, but an ordained Rabbi.

ah. I see. Well it's not like I care. I don't have a religion. (that's not to say I don't believe in god) Regardless most people I know would say he's Jewish. Of course I don't feel like arguing or looking into it so lets just say you're right.

True - Jesus was indeed a Jew with some radical notions, or so I've been told. However, the Second Coming of Christ is very much a Christian prophecy.

How judgmental. Just because it's obvious to you (and me, but that isn't important right now) that he doesn't exist, that means that others are stupid for believing? You don't even try to understand why people believe, you just write it off immediately as stupid and go back to your corner feeling smug and superior without cause.

Stay classy. I'm done with this conversation.

 

[sniddy_v1legacy]

As someone who's more of a believer in agnosticism (siding more with the atheist view - however I can not disprove god exists so I have to admit I could be wrong) - well then at this point IF it can be proven that this is real, then hat's off the Christians got it right and it's time to listen to the man....

But yeh, don't see it happening but I'm free minded enough to admit, I could be wrong....but it's very unlikely given the evidence presented to me

 

[Iron Lightning]

That would be cool, I haven't seen my friend Jesus for years now. I think he moved back to Guatemala. Jesus always made the best tamales.

 

[NIL8]

I'd give him a high 5. And it would be...epic. so epic that it would destroy all of china in a single hit (note:china was randomly selected)

 

[Woeps]

apologize and then go on with my life. I mean it not like it's the end of the world right?

 

[Harlief]

Get him to re-edit the bible, because it's full of continuity errors and out of context in a world that's progressed 2000 years.
Then I'd get him to provide unambiguous proof that there is a God.

Failing those two things, life as usual.

 

[Imperius]

I'd ask him if we can finally nuke the middle east.

 

[lionsprey]

I would point out all the things people have done in his name and if he doesn't get depressed and commits suicide i would ask him why his dad is such an ass.

 

[M920CAIN]

I'd offer him a beer. I think he deserves it if what I heard about him is true.

 

[Astoria]

If he is real he's not coming back. Who would want to be swarmed by people constantly hounding him for knowledge and his views on everything?

 

[SweetNess_666]

I'd take him on a night on, water to wine cheap night out

 

[Lyiat]

I'd... go about my day, business as usual.

 

[idodo35]

meh just a guy in a bath robe... i think well be ok...
also the christians will be rubbing it in our faces but itll wear off...

 

[bluepilot]

Get out the wine and invite him over for dinner..

Jesus loves wine

Maybe we can crank call the devil too. Having supernatural friends is awesome.

 

[Lawbringer]

you'd also have the atheist(s) out to kill him personally if i was the dude I'd never reveal myself.

If this is your experience of atheists, then you've been talking to some confused people! Atheism is not the hatred of religion in itself. It's the rejection of it being a universal truth and the teachings of existing organised religions being logically possible.

For the vast majority of Atheists, the inescapable proof of Jesus turning up and shooting miracles left, right and centre would be more than enough to turn them into believers. (Not saying they would convert to an existing Christian sect, mind, but they would be forced to believe in something right before their eyes).

And, yes, there would likely be an angry mob demanding to know why he allows 'evil in the world' and so on, but that doesn't mean they'd chase after the living embodiment of the ultimate power and light in all of creation with a machete!

So whilst the Atheists you know may be gun toting maniacs, I assure you they're the minority. There would be no more reason to kill him as an Atheist than any other standpoint.

/rant

To elaborate my point - whether a non-believer, a Christian, or someone from a different religion altogether, there are reasons any of those people would want to kill him.

They may have reasons: (For example the Pope goes into a blood-frenzy when Jesus says "No, no...the Methodists were right all along!") but it all falls into the camp of 'crackpot-dom' and does not reflect on his group as a whole.
