Many Americans Expect Jesus’ Return by 2050
New Survey Finds Americans Divided Over Whether They Believe Jesus Christ Will Return by Mid-Century

(AP) A new survey finds that Americans are divided over whether they believe Jesus Christ will return by the year 2050.

Among respondents to the survey by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and Smithsonian Magazine, 41 percent said they expect Jesus’ Second Coming in the next 40 years, while 46 percent said it probably or definitely won’t happen.

The poll suggests that 58 percent of white evangelicals believe Jesus will return by 2050 compared to only 32 percent of Catholics, and respondents with no college education were three times as likely as those with college degrees to expect Christ’s Second Coming in the next 40 years.

Notice the difference between educational attainment and the poll results. Those without a college degree were three times more likely to answer yes. I got a laugh that the news has reported this as "Americans are divided..."

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and for some people it's always the End Times. /

I just want buck a gallon gas to return.

I've always been a low expectations guy.

If He does return I suspect that the wingnuts are going to be very, very disappointed by His opinion of them.
