How can you be confident in Jesus returning? How do you see him coming, on clouds with great glory?

The chance that Non Human Intelligence will present itself in a very blunt and clear way probably is a lot bigger than any religious event. Although the two seem quite connected.
Many religious events from the past could have been the work of NHI, but for lack of a better explanation were thought to be work of God, angels, the devil etc.

Not sure, it's part of the question.
How do you see him coming, on clouds with great glory?
Yes, according to the Scriptures you are referencing.
Revelation 1:7
Behold, he comes with the clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they which have pierced him, and all the tribes of the land shall wail because of him. Yea. Amen.

If a creator exist it doesn't matter as for Jesus/Christianity it gets cancelled out by it loosely based source Judaism which is ultimately desert folklore and mythology. The former has made contributions to Western society but so has Greek philosophy which IMO is more significant

Jesus is supposed to have said "all these things shall come to pass before this generation passes away" which generation was he referring to because if it is the one that was alive when he said it its been a long wait for the party.

Religions keep existing because they indoctrinate little children. Apparently you can make children believe anything. Something religions use to their advantage. Without that future supply of new believers / money, religions will go extinct quickly.
Religions = child abuse.

Haha I was just joking, but some people actually reason like this. My ex had a friend who worked at a childcare and she said some parents told the employees not to gender their children. Insane but real phenomenon. Might have become more rare as trends often swing around over time, I'm not sure.

Do you know what happened to Swede? I'm not absolutely certain but as I recall somehow I connected an account on the Flashback forum to Swede on here and he was caught in one of those big steroid raids, about the time he stopped posting here. I think detectives got a hold of a dealer's customer list. I never ordered anything, just got stuff from gym connections, so I was kinda smart that way :D

They do ask your "gender assigned at birth" now on many documents.

How can you believe that while at the same time believing God created the heavens and the earth out at the command of his voice? Floating down from the sky would be child's play compared to that.

I did an online survey at work about job satisfaction
First question was "Gender" and gave options "male, female or other"
I ticked male, next question was "was this the gender you were assigned at birth?"
WTF has this got to do with my satisfaction with my job?
I went back and changed male to female and answered "yes" to the second question
So my company now thinks Im a female from birth

I dont classify myself as spiritual but not religious. You live in a world of collectively agreed upon imagination. What can Jesus do for you, you expect him to prop up your illusions, you are unwilling to inquire as to your true nature but want eternal life for a temporary and illusory sense of self.

Rather it is you who is lost because you cling to the masquerade of being a separate entity apart from the One. Relax your grip upon yourself and breath deeper, spiritual emancipation is not so much about having the correct concept of God but of relaxing the need to worry about anything completely. Then Gods light shines and illuminates the body and mind. Wake up baldy.

Evidence for the Resurrection
By Jay Smith, April 1997
Introduction
The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead has always been a contentious area of discussion with the world. It is this event which has drawn the most criticism from the skeptics; and for very good reason. For the authority of Jesus’s teachings was based on His claim that He was the unique Son of God. Yet, Jesus was dependant on the resurrection from the dead to prove that He was the Son of God (Matthew 16:21, Mark 8:31, Luke 9:22, and John 2:19-21). It is, therefore, imperative that we go to the event of the resurrection to ascertain whether or not Jesus is who He says He is, and furthermore to ascertain whether the scriptures can be believed as the true Word of God. A key Scripture which points this out is 1 Corinthians 15:14-19:
“If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith…you are still in your sins…[you] are to be pitied more than all men.”
Thus, in order to have true faith in the scriptures, which maintain not only that Jesus is the Son of God, but that He is our saviour, we must believe in his BODILY RESURRECTION, because Christ’s bodily resurrection proves what Jesus claims for Himself, and proves the scriptures to be accurate, and therefore, authoritative!
We then come to the question of how we can know the authenticity of the resurrection? Is it only by faith? For if the resurrection proves who Jesus is, and by so doing also gives credibility to the scriptures, it is imperative that it can be shown to be historically trustworthy. And it is. Let me share with you eight reasons why:
1: The Prophets Spoke of it in the Old Testament
There are numerous places where the prophets spoke of the Messiah who would come first to suffer and then to triumph over that suffering, pointing to the death and resurrection. There are three passages in particular which speak of the Messiah’s death, followed by his victory:
Psalm 22: we read about agony and desolation in verses 1-21, followed by deliverance and faithfulness in verses 22-31.
Psalm 69: we read of a suffering man and death in verses 1-29, but then find praise and triumph in verses 30-36.
Isaiah 53: probably the most well-known chapter in the Old Testament which refers to the death and resurrection.Here in verses 1-9 we find some of the most vivid descriptions of a suffering and sacrificial servant. Yet, this is followed in verses 10-11 by the promise that the servant would see His offspring, that His days would be prolonged, and that He will see the fruit of His labours, all inferring a resolution to the misery and death which He would suffer.
All three point to the coming death and resurrection.
2: Jesus Foretold it in the New Testament
A number of times Jesus spoke of His impending death and resurrection prior to His death. He mentioned it:
To the Pharisees at the Temple, in John 2:19-21
On His way to Jerusalem He talked about it in Matthew 16:21, and Luke 9:22.
After Peter’s confession He referred to it in Mark 8:31.
At the Mount of Olives He prayed about it, in Mark 14:28.
3: The Historical Record Implies It
We also have Jewish and Roman Historians who refer to the crucifixion of Jesus:
Thallus, a Greek writer from around 50 AD talks of the Crucifixion, and even mentions the darkness and earthquakes which followed it.
Josephus, a Jewish historian who lived in Rome around 93 A.D., mentioned not only Jesus’s death but the work of John the Baptist and Jesus’s brother, James.
Tacitus, a Roman historian in 115 A.D., speaks of the Crucifixion of Jesus, as does the author of a fifth century document named the Toledoth Jeshu.
As for the resurrection, we know it was referred to by first and second century Jews because of the writings of the early church father, Justin Martyr. He details how the Jews in the diaspora were fomenting the story that the empty tomb was caused by the disciples of Jesus who stole the body. They wouldn’t need the story if the tomb hadn’t been empty.
4: The Empty Tomb Provides Us With Evidence
This then leads us to the greatest evidence which we can point to: the empty tomb itself. What is as clear today as it has been for almost two thousand years, is that NO BODY HAS EVER BEEN PRODUCED! Only some empty clothes. There has never been any dispute by the Jews, or the Romans or the Christians over the fact that the tomb was empty. Everyone is agreed on this point. The alternative would have been too difficult to prove. What is so amazing about this simple fact are the implications behind the empty tomb. In order to understand these implications, it might be good to remind ourselves of the scenario surrounding the tomb. Consider the following:
According to archaeological evidence a two-ton STONE would have been used as a doorway for the tomb. This would have been wedged into a slanted groove above and to the left of the entrance to the tomb. Once the body had been placed inside the tomb, the wedge would have been removed and the stone would have been rolled over the doorway to block any potential grave robbers. Yet this enormous stone was found laying up and away from the entrance of the tomb (see Mark 16, and John 20). It has been suggested that it would have taken almost twenty men to have accomplished such a feat.
A Roman SEAL (made up of a rope slung across the surface of the stone, and attached to the sides of the tomb wall) would have been fastened, to warn away robbers (Matthew 27:66). The punishment for defacing a Roman Seal was death, carried out by being crucified upside-down. This seal was missing when the empty tomb was discovered.
Sixteen GUARDS would have been stationed at the sepulchre (Matthew 27:66). Four immediately in front of the tomb, and the remaining twelve in groups of four fanning out in a semi-circle. These were not Jewish temple guards, but Roman legionnaires; the most disciplined fighting force of their era; the “creme-de-la-creme!” They would have all known that the penalty for sleeping on the job was execution, by being burned to death with their own clothes. The scriptures tell us that these guards, upon realizing that the tomb was empty, did not go back to their barracks, but went to the Jewish priests. Why? Because they knew they would not be believed by their own superiors, and would have been executed for sleeping on the job. They went to the temple priests to have them plead their case for them. And we know that the temple priests bribed the soldiers to tell the people that the disciples stole the body (refer to Matthew 28:11-15).
Recently in the town of Nazareth, a MARBLE SLAB was discovered, written in the name of Caesar (thus dating it to around the time of Jesus). On it was inscribed the penalty of death for anyone robbing or defacing a tomb. Yet, we know that prior to this time the crime for grave robbery only warranted a fine. It seems a stiffer penalty was suddenly imposed in the 1st century, due possibly to the embarrassment of Christ’s empty tomb.
* So we have an empty tomb, in which lay some empty grave garments. We have a two-ton stone moved up and away from the entrance, and the seal broken. On top of that we have sixteen of the best soldiers in the world befuddled as to how the stone, the seal, and the body could have been moved while they were standing on guard just a few feet away. On these points not too many people dispute.
There are however a few theories which are being bandied about by those trying to come up with excuses for the empty tomb. Some of them are quite comical. Let me just list them below:
The tomb was unknown to the disciples. Yet, Joseph of Arimathea must have known; as it was his tomb. The authorities and others must have known.
The women found the wrong tomb. If that were so, then did the whole world also find the wrong tomb? Because till this day no alternative has ever been produced.
The disciples and the women were only hallucinating. Why then did the Roman guards have to make such a fast retreat to the Jewish priests? Were they hallucinating too, at risk to their lives?
The body was stolen by the disciples. What then about the guards, and their witness? Can anyone imagine the timid disciples overpowering the Roman guards, moving the two-ton stone, and reviving a dead Jesus?
The Swoon theory is the favourite among some skeptics. Jesus, once in the cool cave, came to, with no wounds, and no garments. He then moved the two-ton stone, overpowered the guards and went about preaching a new religion!
The newest theory is called the Passover plot. Jesus, who knew he would be killed had himself drugged, and like the swoon theory, though wounded, came to, moved the stone, overpowered the guard, and changed the world?
5: The Many Post-Resurrection Appearances (15)
Along with this evidence are the many post-resurrection appearances. In all there were fifteen, over a period of forty days, and at different times of the day:
Mary Magdalene in the morning,
the Emmaus travellers in the afternoon, and
amongst the 11 apostles in the evening.
According to Paul, Jesus even appeared to 500 witnesses at one time (1 Corinthians 15). If each of them were to give six minutes of testimony, we would have 50 hours of testimony. Some of the witnesses were even hostile witnesses, such as Thomas, James and Saul (who later became Paul).
6: It Changed Their Lives
A further evidence is the change which came over the disciples. One may ask why should these disciples speak up about the resurrection? They were not sophisticated. They had no prestige, no wealth, and no social status. These disciples, who had fled when the soldiers came to arrest Jesus, had denied him and hid in the upper room over the next few day, were now being beaten, stoned, thrown to the lions, tortured, and crucified for what they now knew. They were giving their lives to preach Christ’s resurrection. They certainly would not have changed so dramatically for a lie. Certainly this movement had something unique about it that other movements did not have.
We know of about a dozen other movements that arose in Palestine within a hundred years before and after the time of Jesus. One of the best known was an uprising led by a man called Judas the Galilean at about the time of the birth of Jesus. He along with hundreds of his followers were picked up by the authorities and crucified (Josephus, Antiquities, 17:271-298). About a hundred years after the death of Jesus another charasmatic individual, Simeon ben-Kosiba, led a revolution which attracted hundreds of followers, all believing he was the promised Messiah. They too were hunted down by the authorities and killed. In all these movements, the death of the leader signalled the death of the movement.
The rule was, that if your messiah’ was killed then obviously he was not the true messiah, and the best solution was to give up the cause or choose another from his family. Like the movements of that time, they could have chosen James the brother of Jesus as their new Messiah, since he was a leader at the centre of the early Jerusalem church for thirty years, until his death; but the early Christians refused to give him that status. That was the rule, yet the followers of Jesus continued to follow Jesus long after his death for one simple reason; their Messiah had not been defeated by death but had risen from the dead (Matthew 28; Mark 16; Luke 24; and John 20-21). It was this fact alone which seperated Jesus from all those who came before or since, and for whom the disciples were willing to die. In fact all of the apostles except one died for this man who no longer lived, yet whose message had so changed their lives.
Yet it wasn’t only the apostles who were changed, for we find that even hostile Jewish witnesses believed. Take the many Jewish priests who became Christians, according to Acts 6:7, as well as the thousands of early converts who were all Jerusalem Jews. They were right there where the tomb was situated. They could easily have looked for the tomb themselves, and could have talked to the witnesses who had claimed to have seen Jesus, as I’m sure many did. Yet, they too chose to be persecuted for what they knew was true.
7: It Was the Foundation for a New Faith
This resurrection became the foundation for our faith today. That is why we worship on Sundays and not on Fridays (like the Muslims), nor on Saturdays (like the Jews). That is why we participate in the ritual of baptism (symbolizing the dying/living of Christ). And that is why we celebrate communion, to commemorate not only the death on the cross but the joy of resurrection from the grave.
8: Today, Learned Men Believe It
And finally, the resurrection can be believed because learned men, who have studied and researched it believe in it. Take for example:
Brooke Foss Wescott (a textual critic) who says: “There is no historic incident better or more variously supported than the resurrection of Christ.”
Dr. Paul L. Maier (professor of ancient history) maintains: “No shred of evidence has yet been discovered in literary sources, epigraphy or archaeology that would disprove that the tomb in which Jesus was buried was actually empty on the morning of the 1st Easter.”
Dr. Simon Greenleaf (a Harvard University professor of Law) states: “According to the laws of legal evidence used in courts of law, there is more evidence for the historical fact of the resurrection of Jesus Christ than for just about any other event in history.”
Dr. Frank Morrison (a rationalistic lawyer) decided to take three years off from his practice to disprove the resurrection. After three years of study, he found that the sheer weight of the evidence compelled him to conclude that Jesus actually did rise from the dead. As a consequence he wrote the book: Who Moved the Stone?
C.S.Lewis (a literary genius) was also interested in the accuracy of the resurrection. After evaluating the basis and evidence for Christianity, Lewis concluded that in other religions there was ‘no such historical claim as in Christianity.’ He was too experienced in literary criticism to regard the Gospel as myth. He had no other choice but to accept the resurrection as fact.
Conclusion
So what, then can we say concerning the resurrection? Can it be believed? If we add the testimony of the Old Testament prophets with those of Jesus, as well as all the historical data which we possess on the death and resurrection of Christ, and if we contemplate all the ramifications of the empty tomb, the many post-resurrection appearances, the changed lives of the disciples and the opinions of learned men today, we come away with a hugely well supported case for the validity of the resurrection.
Consequently, the evidence for the resurrection overwhelmingly supports the contention that Jesus did indeed rise from the dead. This fact alone gives us substantial confirmation that the validity for our scriptures is likewise sound, which in turn encourages us in our preaching, knowing that what we say has and can be supported with evidence. It is this which undergirds not only our faith, but moves us on and out to share “Christ crucified and resurrected” with those who have yet to hear.
