He would have to walk the Earth the first time to do it second time.

By the way the Bible does have Jehovah walking the Earth and being seen but I see no reason to believe anything in Genesis. Especially since other parts of the Bible said no one has seen god and that bit in Genesis has Abraham seeing him doing the walking. So clearly he didn't really walk the Earth even according to the Bible.

If it were just a reprise of the first visit, of course not.

Sure'd there'd be signs, like the Gallo Bros. suing Him for unfair business practices because He changed water into wine, but until CNN bought into it, the general population just would not believe.

However, Biblically speaking, the second coming is supposed to mark the End of the World. It's kinda hard to ignore something like that. "Hey, you four guys, get those #@%&*!# horses off the freeway--I gotta get to work!"

But no - I unless it was Armageddon, I don't think everyone would believe. It's just human nature.

I am a non-conformist Christian.

While I have strong beliefs about Jesus Christ, and see him as one of the greatest people in human history, I do not believe he was the the Son of God in a literal sense.

To me, Jesus was the true prophet of God, who would spread the truth of God.

No.

Take a look at the past.

Jesus was a little kid not worthy of a mention. It was not until he died that he was found to be a messiah.

For all we know Osama Bin Laden is the son of god.

I don't think so.
God is a god of love.
Satan is a god of hate.

The attack on the WTC is an act of the son of which of the above gods?

I wouldn't have believed it the first time around, and don't. I certainly wouldn't believe it this time either.

(realises that in two millennia time we could be arguing about Ickeism)

Maybe God came back in the wrong place at the wrong time...

(born in a small Rwandan village)

Or maybe he came down to earth on the west side of Shinjuku and still hasn't been able to tear himself away from the decadent, hedonistic lifestyle...

Suffering from ads?

"I refuse to prove to you that I exist" says God. "For Proof denies Faith, and without Faith I am nothing."
"Ah" says Man, "but the Babel Fish is a dead giveaway, isn't it? Nothing that useful could have evolved by chance. It proves You exist, so by Your own argument You don't. QED."
"Oh," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and dissapears in a puff of logic.
"That was easy." says Man, and, as an encore, goes on to prove that black is equal to white, and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.

::Coughs quietly::

Eh. The son of god would be the guy who does nothing but good deeds, preach love towards fellow man, and deride the corruption of the establishment. He also is a pacifist who would fight when necessary.

Also he performed miracles. If you can fit these categories, you are the son of god.

Odd thought: If god made all of us, aren't we all the sons and daughters of god?
