Still here ...

Haven't been Raptured.
Rejected for the Rapture! Humiliating. Rats.
Now I'll have to return those library books after all.

(There are, however, certain loudmouth peabrained preachers,
who could be raptured away with scant loss to the planet.)

Maybe we were and just don't know it. God works in mysterious ways.

It turns out the Rapture did take place as scheduled. Only, so few were taken up, that nobody noticed. Apparently just a couple of homeless guys...
