Why or why not?

At this time, no. I am an Atheist. To be more specific, a soft Atheist, sometimes referred to as an Agnostic. What this means is, I don't know. That's all. Atheism is not the assertion that there is NO god. Atheism is the absence of belief in a god/gods. You see, Atheism is the initial state in which all humans regard religions. I don't care who you are, or what your 'arguement' is, no newborn baby believes in, or even has any knowledge of a god. None. Nada. Nothing. Did you know that hundreds of years ago, if a baby died, some mothers would commit suicide so they could comfort their babies in Hell? Yes, because the church preached that babies did not have the ability to accept Jesus Christ or belief in their volcano god. Now, these teachings are different today, but it's still the same god.
You see, the burden of proof lies with the person making the claim. Since saying that nothing exists is not a claim, the burden of proof lies with believers to prove what they believe. Now I know people will argue this. They'll say, "Nuh-ahh, you have to prove there is no god." If this is true, then I want proof regarding the little invisible green man that sits on my knee. PROVE that he doesn't exhist. See, that's not fair. I should be the one that has to prove his exhistance, not you proving he doesn't exhist. So, I await your evidence. Prove to me that there is a god, any god. It doesn't even have to be the Christian god. That is another arguement in itself.
I suggest you do your research first. Check out my attached sources. Also, I have accepted that if I am convinced, I would convert. The inverse should apply. If someone can not produce a valid point or arguement to persuade another, then that person should concede their point and convert too.

I think religion is hilarious. Why is it people believe that all these mythical magical things happened 2000 years ago, but none of that stuff happens now? Did God get bored with us? He used to interact all the time. Now, we never evern hear from him! People just didn't have science back then. If the "Virgin" Mary came with that story in 2006, a quick DNA test would have put the kibosh on that lie. Think people. I can't believe they're are so many people out in this day of modern science that still believe that ridiculous story. It's not even remotely logical.
So to answer your question, NO.

Yes when he comes back all the people who say they believe in him and have asked him into their heart he will take them up to heaven and they don't have to die. The people left behind will face the Antichrist he will persuade many people to make them believe he is Jesus. after that if you decide to believe in him during the years until he makes a new heaven and earth and destroys Satan and hell when you die you can go to heaven and be with him for eternity. Everyone who is reading this if you do not know God you don't have to go to hell you can go to Heaven with God just by believing in him and saying a few words here is the one I said when i became a Christain-
" Dear God,
I have sinned and I believe you died on the cross to pay for my sins three days later you rose from the dead I belive that totally. i am sorry for all the wrong doings in my life and i want to be yours. When I die I will not be scared because I know I will go to heaven. I love you Jesus and thank you.
Amen"
That is all you have to do so when you die or if Jesus comes back when you are alive you will go to Heaven if you prayed that pray and live your life according to God He love you so so much.
Whoever you are i want to meet you in Heaven See ya there........ =}

Well, Stephen Colbert is waiting for him to be at his show, so I hope so. I believe in GOD, and I think when the world as we know it is about to end, Jesus will return. I just hope I'm on his "Favorite List".!!!!

No. As so many other stories and elements in the Bible, the idea of a return (or "second coming") of Jehoshua ben David (commonly called "Jesus") is purely metaphorical and symbolic. Only fools and fanatics would assume otherwise.

I am a Christian. I don't care one way or the other.I deal with the Spirit of God .as my guide in this life. I also don't care if God made the world in a few minutes or in billions of years . I also dont care about the old testiment. I only care about what Jesus said.and how I should live my life.he went back to be with his father but he left the holy Spirit to be with us.and to guide us.and it will lead me to heaven when I pass on from this world.Peace

Jesus Christ will return. Many prophets have said so.

Yes, because he promised to come back:
John 14:1-5 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)

[A Public Domain Bible] [KJV at Zondervan] [Zondervan]
John 14
1Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
2In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

Not for one second. When you're dead, you're dead. If he died on a cross, then he's dead. Some of his followers just couldn't believe it so they made up this legend about him. I mean, they say King Arthur will come back one day too. Don't believe it!
