As expected, some interesting comments about the birth certificate.
In regards to "the return of Christ"--Are these people expecting Jesus Christ to be reborn on that day? As an INFANT?!? (Maybe by inducing labor for the virgin mother, they might be able to guarantee that the child is born that exact day and time.) That would be a tough way for a kid to grow up, too. It's not like people would have any high expectations on you for the rest of your life...
Or--Perhaps they are expecting Jesus to descend from the Heavens, as a 33 year old man, as he appeared when he died on the cross. Even so, I wonder if people would be ready to accept that Jesus was very likely a dark-skinned, big-nosed Jew, rather than a pale-skinned, nearly blond-haired American, ready to spout forth the ideals of the red, white and blue to rest of the heathen world.
Perhaps it isn't Jesus Christ that they are referring to. Maybe it's Bob Christ, the guy that went on vacation in Europe for a month, who is coming back to the U.S. on May 21st, 2011.
Please pardon my cynicism. All of this is stated in respect to humor. (Hear that God? I'm just joking, just in case the Rapture really IS happening on May 21st...) ;-D
