What if christ does return???
I will first ask him for proof that he is who he claims to be, probably a LONG FORM REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE would be a good start.
Then if he proves I'll ask him why he didn't slam every psycho through history with a lightning bolt.
I think you have a...non-standard interpretation of the Bible. From what I understand, everyone gets a chance at redemption.
Speaking of which, I will ask why he created mass murderers knowing that their soul had been damned to hell even before their parents had been born.
Not really. Some posit that if God created the universe, and thus the multiverse, then He can see all of the possibilities, which is why he already knows everything everyone will do. Because he knows anything anyone can do. I'm not sure about the underpinnings, though.
If God knows all and sees all, the idea of freewill is laughable.
It's typical - man attempts to "add" facts to scripture.
1 Thessalonians 4:14-17 (New International Version 1984, ©1984)
14 We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. 15 According to the Lord’s own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
& the 144,000 are the JEWS that have accepted Christ as their LORD and Savior.

I'm not too worried about any God coming back, if one does he knew what went on and why everything happened.

See where i'm getting with all this?

I think that perhaps some person that we know or that we
might be sitting next to suddenly disappears.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I do not think they will disappear.
I think they will just fall over dead.
God only wants their souls, not
their flesh.

I am guessing that when nothing happens on the 21st of May, that they will pick up this End of Rapture date which is sometime in October.
Found it on Wikipedia
His current end times prediction is that the Rapture will be on May 21, 2011 and that God will completely destroy the Earth and the universe five months later on October 21.[3][4]
