From the BBC:
Followers of an evangelical broadcaster who declared that [yesterday] would be Judgement Day are trying to make sense of the failed prediction.
Some believers expressed bewilderment or said it was a test from God of their faith, after the day passed without event...

Ah but did it pass without event? How do you know it's not us sinners left behind now?
Because the most gorgeous mother-in-her-fifties-of-five-children I've ever seen, Sally Magnusson, was broadcasting on her usual Radio Scotland God slot this morning. I mean, no Rapture (in any sense of the word) would be complete without taking her along.
Mind you, probably taped :-(
Ha. WV = ammuff
Oh poo. Link doesn't work. Apologies.

Tbat'un didn't work either, ft.
JM, exactly.
JH - perhaps you're right, which would explain why nobody has seen Harold Camping since yesterday. Perhaps he was the only one pure enough to be taken?
FT, she is lovely.
D, here's that link in done properly.
I LOVE "end of worlders". I always bet them a million they are wrong.
Strange that none have ever had the "faith" to take me up on it.
It's strange how fascinating this kind of thing is. It should be uninteresting because you can't go anywhere useful with their 'logic'. Yet we still look on and laugh, don't we?
Correct. You can not defeat their "logic", but like a morning crossword on the train, it is the mental challenge that is of interest.
Then again, is there a difference between a "mental challange" and challenging the mental?
FT, AKH, in practice, the Christians don't bother me at all, but it's a useful dry run for the Islamists who totally contradict themselves:
a) It's their Human Right to behave as they like in our countries, but
b) It's a sin and a crime if we behave as we like in their countries.
So to answer your question: "is there a difference between a "mental challange" and challenging the mental?" the answer is 'yes'. You can solve a cross word, but you will never explain to an Islamist why it is acceptable for Christians to practice freely in their countries.
My, she is a comely lass. Talking of Radio Scotland, have the Scottish courts done any of these superinjunction thingies, or is it solely an English addiction?
Havng invested heavily in a belief system, it becomes increasingly difficult for Camping's followers to cut their losses and run; the same behaviour can be seen in gamblers everywhere.
God doesn't play at dice; it's much more like poker.
The wonders of Google.
"However, it is even tougher in Scotland to obtain an interdict as Scottish media organisations unlike their English counterparts, have caveats lodged with the Scottish Courts. The caveats act as an early warning system, which enables the media organisation’s lawyers to be alerted to the action and argue the case at a hearing before a decision is taken. The hearing in an open Court of Law leaves the applicant vulnerable to publicity that would make life even easier for Twitter users to pass the information around until the intended purpose of the interdict is rendered futile."
D, yes, she's like Kirsty Young but ten years older and she can speak Icelandic.
McH, reminds me of a programme on telly yesterday about women who hand over ever larger sums of money to African fraudsters.
D, how did we get on to the topic of super-injuctions?
James Higham has me worried. Has anyone actually seen a single person who belongs to the Family Radio sect since the rapture happened?
"D, how did we get on to the topic of super-injuctions?" Radio Scotland. Mind you, we could also discuss the volcano in Iceland.
