Uh, you can't know that christ is risen simply by virtue of the fact that such an event can only be taken on faith. For the same reason, you can't know he'll return. Believe it all you want if that makes you feel more secure, but don't try to force your beliefs on others as if they were founded in fact, or truth, for that matter. Christ will return, eh? What's he waiting for? 'Permission' from his Dad, who had him killed in the first place? I'm not one to claim there's no God, but the biblical account of same cannot be taken seriously by anyone who chooses to think just a wee bit... Think about it...
