Let some foriegner come into our land and demand the above, it would be threatening. While i know that your god is imaginary, no threat at all, you are free to worship him as you wish. I do however, resent that you would pronounce that he is going to, or should do this or that to people of earth, and that people should be terrified of your god to the point of shaking.
Apparently you don't understand the function of liturgy. In the Orthodox Church, in which some still use the Liturgy of St. James, they believe in transubstantiation, in which the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ. The song comes after the Gospel and before the placing of the gifts on the altar. It is meant to prepare one for the sacred mysteries that are to come, not the second coming (though its meaning is plural).
I'm too lazy. Anyways, who really cares, you don't, do you? It's just a post.
BTW, if you're an atheist, why do you call yourself Satanus? Is it to try to upset religious people? (nothing upsets me, I've seen it all, mostly). I genuinely wish to know.
I'm not an atheist. I'm not an anything, really. An explorer, maybe. My nickname helps people overcome their fear of a superstition. If you have experienced a lot, and you really are only 18, that's a good start.
This reminds me of a "Bible study" I had in my last JW months in Paris. He was a post-graduate Chinese student, already teaching French literature in Beijing. The first time I met him he received us in his room and after a few minutes stopped and asked: "You mean you really believe in God?" He was really amazed, and found hilarious, that some people could do so "realistically".
Satanus,

Hmm... never thought of it this way, but I guess you're right about that.

That reminds me of the dragonballz animations. Those guys would fly all over the universe. One day, the subject of god came up. All the super heros were puzzled and would say 'god'???? in a questioning tone of voice, like the concept had never occured to them before, or was something never even considered by their societies.
