That's a period of time reflected in Revelation regarding his 1000 years reign
when he returns.

Who? Hitler or Jesus? Both promised to save their people, both promised
a 1000 year Reich.

"There are hundreds of millions who believe the Messiah has come. If he
did, then it is unfortunately the case that his heroic sacrifice and
death have had no effect whatsoever on the very problem his coming might
have been expected to address, for history demonstrates, beyond question,
that we Christians have been just as dangerous, singly and en masse, as
non-Christians."

Jesus is 2000 years late. My dentist cancels my appointment if I'm 15
minutes late. Seems he holds me to higher standards than you hold your
God to.

Well, hecky darn. You got your reference points confused. Jesus returned on
the 3rd date with that declaration - on Easter morning. His 1000 year reign is
in the future somewhere's, no known time of event.

That's convenient. Jebus is to come back for a 1000 year reign, but doesn't
know when!!! The last person to give it the 1000 year reign speech died
spectactulary in 1945, I don't suppose there's any chance of him coming back
"at some unspecified time in the future" either is there?

No, but I've seen plenty of the girls in the convent putting _out_. Is that the
same thing? :-?

LoL! :-) Actually, in certain parts I used to be known as "Sister Dion". I
can all but _guarantee_ I could con my way into a convent if I actually wanted
to. ;-) I wouldn't be ignorant enough to actually try, of course, but it is a
somewhat funny thought. :-) Nowhere near as funny as it would be if I forgot
to shave first... {=-#
Then again, I've seen a few nuns in my time. I'm not sure the presence of
facial hair would arouse all that much suspicion. :-#

In all honesty, of course not, I was just joshin' with ya'. ;-) I felt like
trying to make a witty turn of phrase based on common knowledge and in the same
sense that one might say "I 'saw' the first appearance of HIV" when reflecting
upon the rise of the dreaded disease. :-) I've never seen convent girls put
out directly - or even indirectly as far as that goes (like on a recorder or
anything) - but I've heard stories. I doubt it's common, of course, but human
nature being what it is I don't doubt that it does happen from time to time.
