Rapture

Christians were due to be uplifted to heaven (called the Rapture) at 6pm today. It is over two hours later and as far as I am aware nothing seems to have changed. Is that because the Rapture did not happen or is it because I and the people I know are unworthy Christians and Jews? Not quite true as I do know some very worthy Christians but as they are still here I can only assume that the Rapture has not happened or my worthy friends have dirty little secrets which have precluded their uplift. It is all very disappointing. Did the American cleric who predicted the Rapture was due to take place today get his calculations wrong? How embarrassing for him. How is he going to explain it away? The point is though that we can laugh about all this and take the mickey without feeling in the least bit threatened. Sad to say that we can't laugh at things Muslim because if we do we could end up in a wooden box. We should be able to say what we want to about the Muslim religion and so should our newspapers, radio commentators and television companies. Why then does the BBC feel it has to pull its punches when reporting on things Muslim? Why should the Muslim religion be given special treatment? It is alien to the fundamental beliefs of this country and unless we want to go back to the dark ages we must stand up for our own way of life.
