When Jesus returns? The question is meaningless.

Who even believes in Jesus? The Jews? No. The Muslims? No. The Hindus or the Buddhists or the Seiks or billions of atheists?

I might as well ask "What happens when Santa Claus dies", or "What happens when Odin starts throwing thunderbolts".

That would be Thor, not Odin.

Actually, that depends which myths you're considering. Odin or Wodan sometimes was cast in the guise of a storm god when leading the dead on the Wild Hunt through the night sky, in which the hooves of their horses were thought to have caused thunder. It probably depended on time and place for particular myths, as Germanic paganism hardly was doctrinaire. That is, a person in the late Bronze Age era Jutland in Denmark probably did not have the same idea of Thor as someone else in 5th century migration era Kent in England. Or somebody living on the banks of the Middle Rhine in 2nd century Germany may have had a different perception of Odin from a person in 10th century Iceland.

I once asked a Fundamentalist at what hour would Jesus return. He said Jesus would return at midnight. I then asked in what time zone? The Fundie replied: You are going to burn in Hell.

He should have replied "US Central Time".

To quote the great Johnette Napolitano:

Quote:
I told the priest, don't count on any second coming.
God got his ass kicked the first time he came down here slumming.
He had the balls to come, the gall to die and then forgive us.
No, I don't wonder why, I wonder what he thought it would get us.
Hey, hey, good bye.
Tomorrow Wendy's going to die.

the less evolved part of me want to see him come back and administer sandpaper suppositories to rush and coulter and their ilk. the more evolved part of me wants to see him come back and ravish the righties with his unconditional love, of which they simply are incapable of assimilating.

When Jesus returns to earth, no follower of organized religion will want to hear his word and all will demand that he be locked up and medicated to keep him silent or will otherwise reduce him to obscurity.
