Half of Christians Think Jesus Will Return Within 40 Years
Christian views in America on the return of Christ.


I don't really think 50% of all Christians take credence in that
statement, and I'm not sure He'll return in the next 40 or not, But
I do believe He shall return.

But I have plenty of good things, and not all are materialistic
either. I'm satisfied.


I hope to **** he stays the **** away from me. I've had enough of
"Jesus" to last an eternity.

And, **** Jesus while I'm at it. Or, rather **** what all the ****ing
churches suppose Jesus was all about and DON'T promote. I have no use
for dead people that other people fantasize about. It's really quite
sick in the head.

If anyone actually believes in a fantasy god and/or fantasy hell and
thinks that "worship" or "faith" is going to fix them or anything,
they are way more ****ed up and frankly more stupid that the lowliest
creature.

Half of Christians Think Jesus Will Return Within 40 Years
Christian views in America on the return of Christ.

As Christians worldwide prepare for Easter, a time of reflection on
Jesus’ death and a celebration of his resurrection, many seem to be
looking forward as well.

A Pew Research Center survey on the religious beliefs of Christians in
the United States shows that about half believe Jesus will either
definitely or probably return in the next 40 years.

If that's the case, why are conservative christians so worried about
social security and deficits?


Maybe they expect to die or go broke before Jesus gets here.

I am not really up on my Thessalonians but isn't the rapture supposed
to be in response to the apocalypse?
Maybe they think that is when SS goes broke. Damifino


I thougth you keep saying that SS IS broke? Which is it?
Damdifyouknow. Exactly.

They are currently running a $66 billion dollar deficit and we are
borrowing money to cover it. Medicare is in even worse shape. My
reference to "going broke" was when the government simply says they
can't pay all of the benefits.


As I've said and as the facts indicate, SS will pay 100% of the
benefits for another 25 years, and it will pay 85-95% thereafter for
perpetuity without any fix at all. It's a minor problem.


What "facts"? The whole program is based on the ability of the
government to borrow more money and raise taxes more.
There is no "trust funds" they spent every dime of that money and it
is unclear how they will ever pay it back.


Feel free to dispute the facts. That don't make you right.

http://www.ssa.gov/oact/progdata/fundFAQ.html

How far do you have to go back to actually see the federal government
paying down a dime of the debt?
(hint: new cars had tail fins)


Which has nothing to do with anything.

Medicare is in worse shape, but not catastrophically so... and again,
it will be decades before it becomes so. A fix is indicated, but not
on the backs of middle and lower income.


There are not enough rich people to save these programs, who do you
think will have to pay?


You're just being deliberately dense. The worst thing we can right now
is make middle and lower income families pay more. When the economy
recovers, then the middle income families will be able to afford to
help a bit more.

$32 billion out of whack 3 years ago ... What I said.

Do you really think medical care will ever cost less?


Don't know. I do know that the rate of increase can be slowed. It
doesn't need to exceed inflation the way it does.

But you know, right?

That demonstrates that the federal government spent all of the surplus
and they promise to pay it back but they have not said how.


The don't have to "pay it back". It's a trust fund. Do you need me to
tell you to look it up?

If you took every dime from the Forbes 400, it would run SS for about
175 days.
The middle class is going to have to pay more, at least the Clinton
tax rates and maybe even the Reagan tax rates.


Which has nothing to do with anything. Feel free to hide under your
house if you're that afraid.

I can look at the trends.


Feel free. The US has been solvent and paid it's debts since the

Well fine, let's see us pay off the 17 trillion debt.
If our debt was called today, we would be insolvent.
The problem for our debtees, is we are to big to force us
into insolvency.
