A last (!) word on the rapture

Postcards from the Edge — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 06:41:18 GMT

Well, over the last couple of weeks we've looked at rapture predictions and pranks, homilies and

Your des-res, rapture-ready house in heaven

A while back, at the beginning of this micro-series on the rapture, we looked at the Rapture Index .

re: Christians don't have bottoms, and don't poo

I love this post. Not only for its unavoidable naughtiness, but also because of its razor-sharp fix on the truth. Because I do in fact have a bottom, it periodically leads me to wonder how the holier-than-thou crowd ever manage to rationalize their own toileting experiences. Personally, I didn't ask to be built that way (more mucking in with the masses), but isn't it interesting that my arms (the left one in particular) are just long enough to enable me to wipe my bum as my unashamed mother taught me? Denial in this department doesn't make an awful lot of sense. My thanks to Nicola for shedding light in the darkest corner of the Christian condition.

Love it!

You've got to smile, but it is bit sad too that Political Correctness has gone crazy.

It is often Christian cults (religious groups that look Christian, but who have gone wobbly on some major area of Christian faith) who define themselves by how they are different from everyone else, rather than looking for what might unite them with others. This is often in the form of 'no one else is as good/spiritual/close to God as us.' This seems to be quite cult-like behaviour on the part of the RC church.

I once went to a service at a church in Surrey where Graham Kendrick's dad was the organist. We sang lots of hymns and choruses - but not one by GK!

I have never stuck a fish to my car in any way, shape or form. My fear is that should I accidentally just creep over the speed limit a teeny bit, or perform a somewhat ill-judged manoeuvre in front of Joe Public, I'll hear him yelling at Mrs Public "DID YOU SEE THAT!!! AND CALLS HIMSELF A CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!"

Christians we may be, but I wonder if Mr & Mrs Public realise that we're still human, and make mistakes. I don't want to be the piece of cod that passeth all understanding.

Sorry. I'll go now.

I'm sure those funny old clothes have a significance, but as nicola said, underneath all that, there are some wonderful people. We should try to look beyond the clothes - whether it's a bishop or chav or pauper or dentist or printer etc etc (can I say chav? . . . can I say dentist?) - and get to know the human bean within.

1st book of Samuel 16:7 . . . The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.

Hi Nicola. I'm delighted to be able to confirm that a knitted nativity scene was available. Other subjects I can't comment on. I'm with you on the crucifixion thing. My mother-out-law [bless 'er] knitted the whole caboodle for our children. We still get the wretched, sorry, wonderful, thing out every Christmas and end up with straw all over the hall after a day or so. We have the scene set up in an adapted cardboard box. The kids, at the far end of their teens now, still like it.

Ohhh no I have to confess I went to the Cathedral for the ordination, turned around and went shopping. Oh dear my heart was just not in standing and witnessing all the pomp and snobbery. Me and God had a nice time outside with the Sainsbury's shopping trolley, and I gave thanks to God for the people who serve Him with more dedication than I do.

having been at another event where even more ridiculous clothing was warn by people either being ordained or doing the ordaining this weekend I personally found that all the form took away from the substance. I can't help feeling that all the gowns, mitres and all the other stuff just gets in the way and puts people off thinking about faith and exploring it or themselves. I think most of the gowns warn were designed for use before churches had heating surely there not need now. I am bemused as to what purpose they possibly have.
