How long will Christians wait for Jesus?

One really wonders how long this can go on. Will there come a day when Christianity revises this claim, or will it simply let it go? Will they be eagerly awaiting him in the year 3000? If so, what about five thousand years from now? Ten thousand years?

Ignoring that teaching, just like the one on divorce and being more pious Jews than the Jewish leaders 2000 years ago.

Please don't confuse Christians with bible trivia, especially when it's crap from Jesus that they are already sure is wrong.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

I was under the impression that you were drifting toward Catholicism. Firmly back in the Swedenborgian camp, huh?

The answer can be found here
Jesus is like Pinocchio.  He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.

As every generation of shitheads dies off the next generation is even more positive that pappy jesus is showing up anytime now.  They'll never let it go.
