While I enjoy the lulz, you do need to remember that Jesus is coming back to judge the earth and send people to hell. That's a lot more significant than some short-term chopper rides.
Some may think Jesus is a myth, but like this election time will tell.
Here's an interesting excerpt:
The Second Coming
The one who is opposed to the purposes of God is Satan. He will be bound for a thousand years, released to deceive the nations, and then finally judged at the end of the age. The Bible refers to this period of time as the second coming and the great white throne judgment. It will include all of creation.
The great white throne judgment is an awe-inspiring and terrifying thought. The books will be open and we will be judged based on the righteousness of God. There are no exceptions, no omissions, and no excuses. There will be no miscarriage of justice, just the awesome righteousness of God like a spotlight evaluating all.
The Book of Life will also be opened at the second coming. It is the record of all who have received life eternal. Scripture says that eternal life is the gift of God through grace. It has nothing to do with us and everything to do with what God has done for us. The glory of God will be seen in the return of Christ during the end times whether it be in judgment on the unrepentant or in blessing on the redeemed.
Knowing Christ means that you have a relationship with Him. Yes, it’s hard to have a relationship with someone when you can’t physically see them. However, Christ has given us all of the things we need to know Him. Mainly, His Living Word, which is the Bible. When people spend time reading the Bible, they can’t help but know Jesus. The reason for that is because it’s His letter that He has written to us. When we read the Bible, we get to know Him for who He is. It’s an amazing thing to experience; when a person honestly goes to the Bible searching, and God Himself, reveals who He is. Christ crucified is exactly that. Jesus Christ giving up His life willingly to atone for our sins. When Adam and Eve sinned, they made the decision that every human after them would make. God’s plan from before time was for His son, Jesus, to take our place. Meaning that He took the punishment of our sins upon Himself so that we wouldn’t have to. The reason He did this is, being sinful people, we would never have been able to spend eternity with Christ in Heaven. So He made the only way by giving His life. All people need to do is believe in our heart that Jesus Christ is God’s only Son, that He died for us, that He was perfect and without fault, and we too will spend eternity in Heaven with Him. Jesus was the only One who could give His life because He never sinned. He was the perfect sacrifice. He loves us that much. John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
