Jesus returning?

sTs, you surprise me. I don't believe Jesus was magical in the first place, so I certainly don't think he's coming back. Of course, lots of people have claimed to be Jesus coming back. Do you suppose if he were to magically appear, he'd be the Northern European with light brown hair depicted in so many paintings?! No, he was Jewish, so that's not likely. But humans made it all up. All of it. Religion is a product of human imagination. When we accept this, we can start looking at various practices formerly associated with religions and determine what value they have for humankind.
