that if Jesus comes back, he will be Christian? Or even male?
How do we know that Jesus isn't one of us here on Answers?
How would we know that He isn't the Atheist who's just had a rude answer from a Christian?
How would we know that He isn't Muslim? Or Jewish? Pagan?
How could you tell?
Should we treat all people in the same way we would treat Jesus, just to be sure?
I'm not Christian, but I think it would be wise to show more tolerance here.

Tolerance is a beautiful thing.
I adore you (((Retro))).
"You are everything that I already am," Jesus said.
I urge you to say this with me: I am the Messiah.
Truth is a beautiful thing.
Be the ball. Be the One.

I am all for tolerance and mutual understanding. Jesus had some good things to say. And these good things are embraced by many paths. I am a pagan. I believe in this message of acceptance and understanding, and whether someone comes around and claims to be Jesus, it is unlikely that he or she would find a whole lot of broad acceptance as the real McCoy.
Let's pretend each of us could be that person. If that person is a person who said some good things, treat everyone like they could be that person, since we all have the capacity for good, don't we?
Bright Blessings,

Retro, an Excellent Question, deserving of a lot of excellent answers too.
I for one, treat ALL people as though they actually ARE God(ess), come here specifically to see for themselves if I am truly following the beliefs that I professs to practice. I treat everyone with utmost respect, love and honor, as though they were my very best friend. Unfortunately, I TOO am human and I have my grumpy days like everyone else. Sometimes I am NOT as loving as other times. But, overall I AM definitly a GOOD person and a loving person. So, I'm not too worried about hurting the feelings of the Divine, should they be here to "spy" on me.

I think that in most circumstances showing more tolerance and more understanding of others are wise things to do.
