Apocalypse Mail

Devout Internet geeks rejoice! Now you can send email even after you’ve been raptured!
Thanks to youvebeenleftbehind.com, your nonbeliever friends can be sent a personalized email six days after the Rapture urging them to reconsider their pagan ways and join Christ’s army for the seven years of the Tribulation.
For $40 per year, you can arrange for 62 friends to receive emails from you six days after you’ve been raptured up to Heaven.
According to the web site: “We have set up a system to send documents by the email, to the addresses you provide, 6 days after the “Rapture” of the Church. This occurs when 3 of our 5 team members scattered around the U.S fail to log in over a 3 day period. Another 3 days are given to fail safe any false triggering of the system.”

Wow! “By the email!” Sounds flawless to me!
In addition, subscribers can have up to 150mb of encrypted storage, which can be emailed to friends afterwards to tell them about powers of attorney, bank accounts, passwords, brokerage accounts, and other crucial information that might help them survive the Last Days.
The domain name is registered through a proxy service, the names of the executives are not given on the web site, and the type of encryption used for vital documents is not specified. Skeptics might find this suspicious, and suspect perhaps an elaborate phishing scam, but believers will be reassured by the site’s statement that the site is run “by Christians for Christians.”
The site also urges me to “Tell your friends about You’ve Been left behind. [sic]” I just have!
More end of the world research may be done here.
