Survey: 4 in 10 say Jesus is coming back by 2050

The Pew Research Center for the People & the Press released a new survey this week that looks at the year 2050. Of note to followers of the Belief Blog is 41% of people surveyed believe Jesus is coming back by the year 2050.

"...the public is divided over whether Jesus Christ will return to earth by 2050. About four-in-ten (41%) expect Jesus Christ to return while slightly more (46%) say this will definitely or probably not happen. Opinions about the return of Jesus Christ are little changed from 1999 when 44% said it would definitely or probably happen."


You can see the results of the entire survey here and here's how the Pew conducted this survey.

    When Jesus returns, US Immigration Forces will have him rounded up and deported.

    We are so doomed due to the stupidity and gullibility of a very large percentage of our citizens.

    The only thing this poll proves is that 4 out of 10 people in this country are morons.

    Lots of people vote for Mickey Mouse for president too, doesn't mean they actually believe that he will take office if he wins.
