Website Lets You Send a Post-Rapture E-Mail to Friends ‘Left Behind’
If millions of Christians suddenly disappear from the face of the Earth as the opening act for Armageddon, Threat Level thinks most nonbelievers will be too busy freaking the hell out to check their e-mail. But if they do log in, now they can be treated to some post-Rapture needling from their missing friends and loved ones, courtesy of web startup YouveBeenLeftBehind.com.
For just $40 a year, believers can arrange for up to 62 people to get a final message exactly six days after the Rapture, that day when — according to Christian end times dogma — Christians will be swept up to heaven, while doubters are left behind to suffer seven years of Tribulation under a global government headed by the Antichrist.
“You’ve Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ,” reads the website, which is purportedly run “by Christians, for Christians.” The domain name is registered through an anonymous proxy service, presumably to protect the proprietors from the Forces of Darkness, and not because they’re up to anything shady.

#39 Shin, glad you enjoyed it 😉
#60 – I am all about petty and childish tactics. I just wanted to go on record…
And what’s all this shit about a rupture?
#60 – BigBoyBC,
Actually, if you read my post 44 again, with a little bit more of an open mind, you may find that it really does make a point.
The point is that people advocating one side or another of a case do not necessarily make a religion, as in the case of people advocating spelling checkers, some new piece of technology, one news source over another, or even advocating that people apply the same standards of proof to all extraordinary claims.
So, the point was that I A) advocate using a spelling checker for a better appearance of one’s posts and B) advocate the use of reason and standards of proof associated with supernatural mythologies.
Neither constitutes a religion.
Does that clear it up for you?
#63 – Ketchup,
It’s just religious people being a pain the balls again.
