Every generation of christians says he's coming back soon. It is an absolute joke.

Yeah, and I guess His tomb was empty because somehow the disciples stole it, SOMEHOW managing to remove the stone blocking the entrance without waking up the guards who were sleeping outside. Yup, that makes LOADS of sense. And even though they stole the body, all but one of them died a violent death proclaiming that Jesus had risen from the dead.
I know dead people don't come back from the dead. But Jesus was an exception to that rule. The resurrection is the ONLY viable explanation.

The democratic world (and the rest too) operates according to myth. The myth of the social contract is that if you give up some of your freedoms, you will get protection of your rights.
2 Timothy 4 describes the Biblical outlook on myth. "For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths. But you, keep your head in all situations, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, discharge all the duties of your ministry."
On the international scale we have anarchy. The mark of Cain is more dominant in people's thinking than truth. If somebody were resurrected, do you think that people everywhere would rejoice and let it be known? How did the Sanhedrin react to healings in the first century? John 12:9-11 - "Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and putting their faith in him."
This is the world's reaction to true followers of Jesus, who can and have resurrected people from death by bloody injury, even hours after the death. 1 John 2:13, 14 says: "Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death."
The attitude of the world towards religion is as Pharaoh's in Exodus 5:9 - "Make the work harder for them so that they keep working and pay no attention to lies." Myth began when homo sapiens became homo necans, according to Karen Armstrong in "A Short History of Myth." The teaching we receive through secular means about "what happens" serves to reinforce international anarchy.

Yes, it says in the scriptures that once you die, your soul goes into a sleep, that means one cannot communicate with the dead. Jesus was resurrected however. Its not that hard to imagine when you consider a new sun/star is being born every second out there in the universe now is it?
Bless You!

Brother, how long will you question the truth. Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried and is now risen back to life.
There is a life after death , my friend. It depends on the life that you live here in this earth that holds your future. Do therefore,Surrender your lifeto Jesus Christ who died for the Redemtion of your sins, to Him who promised the eternal life and you shall in eternity with Him in heaven caught up in the Rapture. All this, u cannot control your soul by yourself but God. I hope this message will have a positive impact on your life and others.
Love in Christ, Drakes.

It is true ,absolutely the truth and the only truth you ever have told in your life , JESUS IS DEAD AND HE'S NOT COMING BACK FOR YOU. How do you know that he is not coming back for you. And it is good to hear you speak the truth of yourself. You are so meek and humble.
