The ruptured rapture

Yesterday, at 6:00 pm, it was all supposed to be over. An old, dithering duffer whose should have known better but didn't, predicted the Rapture would take place. For reasons that always escape me, people listened, and of course the news media took note, and off we go for a short lived ride that ultimately ends with some foolish disappointed person having a faith meltdown on camera.

Such predictions have always seemed to me to be "prophets behaving badly." Foolishly, they keep doing it and religious people keep believing the silly pronouncements, never mind that Jesus said that no one knows. Apparently, "no one" is the only thing up for interpretation.

So here we are, the day after the end of time. Hum, what a curious time to be!
