>> When* he returns to earth? That's a good one. I must defer to the noted theologian Sam Kinison. (Who actually did come from a line of Baptist preachers). "Suuuure, I'll be back. It's only been, what, two thousand years? How about I come back WHEN I CAN PLAY THE PIANO AGAIN!!!" (pantomimes blowing through holes in palms)

Sam Kinison- now there's a guy I want to emulate. Right up there with George Carlin, Marjow Gortner and Judas Iscariot.

Ya really gotta wonder about the eternal destiny of a man who sees blasphemy as appropriate material for a stand-up routine.

The apostle Peter had these guys' number back in 30 AD, when he wrote,

Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of his coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."

For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:3-8
