You've Been Left Behind

For smary Christians who want to flaunt there rightness during the rapture, there is a site called http://www.youvebeenleftbehind.com/ that allows Christians to send e-mail to their non-believer friends during the rapture.

Here’s bit of advertising from their website:

You’ve Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends For Christ. Imagine being in the presence of the Lord and hearing all of heaven rejoice over the salvation of your loved ones. It is our prayer that this site makes it happen.

Nothing like getting $40/year from customers who can’t verify that you did your job.
