Suppose you have seen that Jesus is descending from heaven into Mount Olives and you have seen it with your own eyes. Will this change your stand as an atheist?

If it came to the point where The Second Coming was happening then it would be too late for us atheists. At that point everyone has already chosen therr sides and there is no turning back.
If I actually saw it with my own eyes, on the last day, sure I would believe, but then it would be too late. Im already going to hell, according to Christians, anyway

Why do theists ask such silly hypothetical questions?
Suppose I had a time machine and could go forward 10000 years and see that Jesus had not ever returned. Would you still believe in him?
Suppose my time machine took you back and proved that he was never resurrected, and that none of the miracles attributed to him ever happened?
These "what if" questions are just silly. The scenarios postulated will never happen.

Suppose I see the Valkyrie coming to take me away? You have to explain how it is the last day on Earth (am I dying, or are we all); am I near Mt. Olives, or am I transported there for the descent; and does he establish that he is Jesus and not any other God?

What would happen if you found out God descended to the earth, and He was an extremely advanced extraterrestrial, as all other gods are?

I'd seriously consider the possibility that someone had slipped me something in my milk. If other people were seeing it, it would count as evidence and I would have to rethink my position.
Not going to happen, though. You just keep sitting there waiting for it. The rest of us have to try to save the world from its religious leaders...

Suppose you die and there is no heaven or hell and you meet the spirit once known a Jesus and you have no care or concerns and just return to make yourself a better person. Do you stop being a Christian?

It'd be kind of hard not for it to, you know? I'd be rushing up to say hi and get the answers to the big questions.
Why the implied assumption that I'm closed minded? I'm just looking with all my heart for the truth. If I see proof, why would I deny it?

Suppose we build a time machine, and go back to talk to Jesus, and he tells us there is no god and that it was a scheme. Will you then realize that being a christian is delusional?

If I saw God and he said, "Behold I am Lord," Then I would believe in him.
But since noone has seen God, I will not take other peoples word that he exists as absolute truth
