New Service Sends E-mail 'After the Rapture'
A new e-mail serviced called "You've Been Left Behind" lets you send e-mail that won't be delivered until AFTER THE RAPTURE. What is that Rapture thing again? According to the Wikipedia, the Rapture is:
"the future event in which Jesus Christ will descend from Heaven, accompanied by the spirits of all the saints of God, both from the pre-incarnation period and after, who have passed on prior to the rapture, and then the bodies of the saints are joined with their spirits in a resurrection - the First Resurrection - to meet the Lord. Immediately after this, all true Christians alive on the earth are simultaneously transported to meet the Lord and those who have preceded them in the air as well, all, having been transformed into immortal bodies like Jesus' body, often referred to as the 'resurrection body.'"The service costs $40 per year (aren't they afraid of going to hell for charging rates like that?), so if the Rapture happens in 25 years it'll cost you about $1,000 to send your "I told you so" message. Hopefully as the Judgement is coming, all the sinners will go check their e-mail. Also: In addition to doomed sinners, Muslims, Jews and other unfortunates, can't you send e-mail to Christians who go to heaven? Won't they have mobile devices and really fast mobile broadband? If not, what kind of heaven is that?

Anyone light enough in the head to believe in the rapture is probably dumb enough to waste their money on this service.
C'mon, do you really think the reason for this service is to say "I told you so."? What they are offering is a chance to say one last goodbye and the hope that a loved one will recieve Christ as thier savior.
Christians are such evil hypocrites.

No, I think the reason for this service is to separate Christians from their $40 per year.

... via e-mail. You're kidding, right?

I won't spend the forty bucks. I think that it is just a way for sinners and the unlearned to make fun of CHRISTIANS. When the Rapture comes I hope you all are ready to go. If not you are in for a terrible time

Now Christians are "learned"? Gimme a break, dude. There will be no Rapture. It's a fairy tale.
By the way, I was on the island of Patmos last week where John wrote the Book of Revelations and visited the cave where he wrote it. I recommend that everyone visit Patmos, the cave and the Monastery of Saint John the Divine devoted to John (and also devoted to the monk who founded the monastery -- the monks there worship his skull, etc.) but I don't recommend that anyone buys into John's delusional rantings. It's just another religious story (designed to use fear to put clergy in charge of us all) from which there are thousands to choose.

If you have to be light in the head to believe in the rapture, well I guess I'm light in the head, but it's not light enough to believe Windows 7 is going to replace the keyboard and mouse!!
Christians, christians, christians...
There are some Christians that see the Bible as some sort of calendar of future events and who claim that the Bible is the word of God, and that dinosaurs never existed or that if they existed they existed at the same time as humans.
The biggest group of Christians (Roman Catholics, Lutherans and Anglicans) however, see the Bible as the word of man inspired by God.
To take the words in the Bible face value, without interpretation is wrong for this big group of Christians.
There is only a small group of Christian fundamentalists who have this wrong picture of the rapture.
The one Christian is not the other.
boingboing.net had a fun tidbit on this site:
"And another section that seems to have been removed from the site since yesterday but is still in the Google cache:
You will also be able to give them some help in living out their remaining time. In the encrypted portion of your account you can give them access to your banking, brokerage, hidden valuables, and powers of attorneys' (you won't be needing them any more, and the gift will drive home the message of love). There won't be any bodies, so probate court will take 7 years to clear your assets to your next of Kin. 7 years of course is all the time that will be left. So, basically the Government of the AntiChrist gets your stuff, unless you make it available in another way."
See the Gubument gets to keep your stuff!
