If he comes back while I'm trying to watch TV, I will be very angry. People have lives, you know.

No religion wants him coming back. They're all making too much money off the believer suckers and they don't want him to 'upset their apple cart'.

A fundamental belief of Christianity is that Christ will return to the earth to conquer evil and rule over the faithful - a simplified definition of the Second Coming. Since the first century until modern times, some Christian leaders and their followers have prophesied that this would happen, usually during the lifetime of the person making the prophecy, and frequently within the next 20 years after the prophecy. This practice seems to contradict a fundamental Christian principle that says that no one knows when Christ will come (Mark 13:32). The failure of even one of these many prophesies to come true often has the effect of trivializing Christian teachings and making the church seem unreliable.
Several verses in the New Testament appear to contain Jesus' predictions that the Second Coming would take place within a century following his death. Most notably, Matthew 10:22-23, 16:27-28, 23:36, 24:29-34, 26:62-64; Mark 9:1, Mark 14:24-30, 14:60-62; and Luke 9:27. Such statements have contributed to the Preterism movement, a belief that the Second Coming had already taken place by the end of the first century CE.

Mark 13:32 says "But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father."

I am sure that should you get to heaven. You will find out the end of the story that was 'interrupted'.
I am sure that should you go to hell, you will never know what happened and you can blame your self for that for the rest of eternity.
When Christ returns (no one knows the day or the hour), someone will no doubt be watching TV.
Will it be you? And what are you doing to make sure you get to find out the end of the story?

He'll come back when he's ready. I don't know any TV program that will keep me from noticing.

No one knows, but I'm ready to meet my Savior. Praise Jesus.

He may be already there with new body. When he left there was no christian religion. Now Christians would first convert him to Christianity, then tell him "how to pray" and put his trust in "Jesus"

Get a life and you may yet have an opportunity to become a Christian. Read, study, and obey HIS WORD while there is time.

Trust me, every generation of christians has seen wars, Natural disasters, corruption and disease in their own times as signs that the end of the world is nigh and Jesus is returning, they still believe it now. Of course Jesus said he'd be coming back to his apostles when he went away and when he didn't they had to make it a supernatural event.
