The Second Coming already happened???

When I bring that up with fundamentalists, I get any number of justifications or interpretations.  The most common I get is, "It refers to a metaphorical death."

Yeah, you get that a lot (a really, really lot):  Things which don't make sense or which are contradictory, or which are flat-out balls wrong, are metaphors.  Or holy parables.  Or mysteries.  Never, 'Gosh, I don't know what that means' or 'Huh.  Never noticed that before.'

One explanation you'll never EVER get is, 'Gee, I must be wrong about this.  I'd better investigate more, or come up with a different reason why this is so.'  And therein lies the primary operational difference between science and religion.
