I know, right? Atheist questions about specific Christian doctrines are generally disingenuous. They can't see that it taints their brand.
Drich has a point there, but the answer he gave in the first place was a cop out. You seem like a logical person, Neo. In regards to the OP, cant you see how a reasonable person reading the bible might think that it explicitly says that Jesus was going to return (at most) within 100 years? How long does a generation last? How do you reconcile what is said in the bible with a 2,000 year--and counting-- period? Jesus told the people who surrounded him that he was coming back soon. Doesn't that taint your brand?
