That's pretty dark Mick. Are humans as a race meaningless and without purpose in the cosmos - probably. Is an individual human life meaningless, would you take another's without regard- I doubt it. And it does matter how you treat others and family, jobs, women, you name it, do matter. If your life is to be meaningful then one has to make it so, how does the promise of eternal life alter that? Evil will prevail if we believe than only a god can stop it.

What do you mean by "people like you"? I am the only me.
His physical returning is for the collecting of saved souls as the final harvest of this land (planet earth). As long as He can bear with human sins He has the time to wait for more souls to be harvested.
1 Peter 3:20 (KJV)
Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.
The spiritual ark is under that building which will finally carry Christians (Noah's family as human minority) across the sea of Hades, to the New Heaven and New Earth.
(water baptism means you will be buried in the sea of Hades and finally be raised up)
Revelation 14:15-16 (NIV)
Then another angel came out of the temple and called in a loud voice to him who was sitting on the cloud, "Take your sickle and reap, because the time to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is ripe." So he who was seated on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested.

Done here.
Christians believe Jesus already came back from the dead. The question is whether to expect his glorious second appearance.
I don't expect him to come back, either. King Arthur, though ...

Actually, he already has returned. It's just that most folks don't know how or when.
Only the staunchest (is that a word?) Bible students know in what capacity this event has happened.

I think so, too.
Although a lot of people still wait for Jesus' return on the clouds, etc. My brother is one of them.
Speaking of which, I haven't seen him online for days. He started preaching at me and I argued with him so I think I've upset him. Again.

Also, if you believe this story, if you're not alive when he comes back, it's irrelevant.:sleep:

For thousands of years modern man has been capable of comprehending an enlightened age. However, only within the last couple of hundred years has technology and knowledge become a tool of the general population. Only within the last decade has there been an opportunity for discussion such as this thread within the internet.
Even as we converse things unheard of in our human past, both history and pre-history are becoming commonplace. This is an age and a time like no other. We stand at a threshold man has never see before. We have weapons of mass destruction that can annihilate the most powerful nation or nations on the earth within minutes. We also have the knowledge and technology to end hunger and most human suffering. We can step off our planet and explorer other worlds. We have discovered gigantic structures themselves larger than anyone thought possible and greater than our understanding of the universe just 100 years ago.
With all we see with all we understand – are we not close to a change? A change that will dwarf all things that have been. A change that we all know ought to be. A change that was prophesied long ago before anything like what we enjoy today was even imagined or considered. I would highlight a couple of thoughts:
First – Matt 24:48 and Luke 12:45. Here we learn that despite a time when thing of great change will become among the societies of man there will also arise a criticism that Jesus will not come or that the time of such things has passed.
Second – Matt chapter 13 beginning at verse 24. A great gathering or separation in human society that is known symbolically in scripture as the separation of the wheat and the tares. We are to understand that the tares will seem great and will seem to dominate – until at the last moment - symbolized in the harvest.
I do not pretend to know when Jesus will come and finely bring an age of justice to those that wish for and desire such a thing. It does appear to me that this day and age is a time to be concerned and wise of such a possibility.
