Ok I'm not one to put religion out there. I am not religious I am not atheist. I just don't really believe in anything. But if this god is real and it says that we are going to see him return one day, and he will help us through he thick, and depending on what part of Christianity you are in that the priest is sent to us by God. And the priest says that he will return to us in our lives, and I've questioned people on this before, that when adults where kids that the preacher said the same thing than why hasn't he come back yet? Also why doesn't he help the starving all over the world? I can name plenty of people that have helped people. But not once have I actually seen Jesus or God or whoever you want to call him actually help someone. Also why would he have to sign the book? The signing of the book is fake as I will get. There are millions of copies being printed daily. So why would this one be any different?
Ahha okaay so firstly, this is a joke...the book isnt actually signed by God
Secondly, in response to your other questions and statements:
I can't speak for all Christians, but my understanding is that the reason we have poverty, starvation etc is due to mankind's sin. God created a perfect world but because of our own sinful nature we destroyed it.
Also, you dont know every single person in the world, so you can't state that you've never seen God help anyone. I am certain that there are many people around the world who believe that God and their faith in God has helped them get through difficult times.
And finally, you referred to the Second Coming, in which it is prophesised in the Bible that Jesus will return. The Bible never mentions the actual date that Jesus will return nor does it give us any idea of a time frame. The Bible only states very clearly that there will be a Second Coming at some point in time.
Hope this cleared things up :)
