Time will re-open your eyes if you give it a chance (and if there is that much time left before prophecy becomes demonstrative). - The historic proof through the writing of eye witnesses who studied under John make preterism untenable to the objective reader.
My college was hardly liberal so take your straw man and set it on fire because it is worthless. You are the liberal, if by liberal you intend one who perverts or denies God's Word - you are the one who is asserting, by your errant futurism, that Jesus was a liar.
I fancy time won't open your eyes to the error of your belief system. Futurists of your ilk have been teaching an imminent Second Coming for the last century and a half (since dispensational premillennialism was invented), making asses of themselves and the Gospel. But, so long as fools are willing to buy the books, do bad eisegesis of Scripture and use newspapers as commentaries, there will be chicken littles perverting Scripture, leading folks astray, bringing mockery upon the Gospel and consoling themselves that time is short while they wait for their one way ticket to paradise.
Barring your death - will 2007, 2012, 2017 do anything to your system, your expectation that you live in the 'last generation?' Naw.
So, take your condescending tripe, fold it neatly origami style and shove it. Truth in love friend, hugs and kisses.
