David Koresh died, along with scores of followers, 20 years ago during a federal raid on the Branch Davidians' Waco, Texas, compound—but even after two decades, some survivors believe Koresh will be resurrected, NPR reports. "We survivors of 1993 are looking for David and all those that died either in the shootout or in the fire," says Clive Doyle, who acts as unofficial spokesperson for the group. "We believe that God will resurrect this special group."

When Vernon Howell (Koresh) and George Roden were vying for power of the Branch Davidians, Roden actually dug up a 20 year old body and he and Howell actually had a resurrection contest to raise the woman.

I'm not kidding.

He'll be along - in his own time.

No, I imagine you aren't. Sadly, this sort of displaced belief tuff is part and parcel of the absurd thinking of the stridently undead. Branch Davidians or ĂĽber-devout "Abrahamics".

Since you aren't personally waiting for Him, what difference does it make to you how long the rest of us who are want to wait?

It makes no difference to me at all. I'm just pointing out that you've been saying 'Soon Baby!' for 2000 years. There is more chance of Koresh coming back than there is your JC.

In your opinion - we Christians would never agree with that statement
