...or, the Rapture goes high-tech: http://www.youvebeenleftbehind.com/index.html
Apparently, with this site you can create and store several emails, pre-addressed to family and friends, that will be sent to them in the event of the Rapture, when the saved will ascend to heaven, leaving the unsaved here on Earth. According to a Wired.com article on the site, "The e-mails will be triggered when three of the site's five Christian staffers "scattered around the U.S." fail to log in for six days in a row -- a system that incorporates a nice margin of safety, should two of the proprietors turn out to be unrepentant sinners or atheists."
Now, I am not 100% sure if the site is for real, is performance art, a spoof, a scam to collect personal data, or what. But it is an interesting use of technology--hypothetical or not.
We all have family and friends who have failed to receive the Good News of the Gospel.
The unsaved will be 'left behind' on earth to go through the "tribulation period" after the "Rapture". You remember how, for a short time, after (9/11/01) people were open to spiritual things and answers. (We are still singing "God Bless America" at baseballs' seventh inning stretch.) Imagine how taken back they will be by the millions of missing Christians and devastation at the rapture. They will know it was true and that they have blown it. There will be a small window of time where they might be reached for the Kingdom of God. We have made it possible for you to send them a letter of love and a plea to receive Christ one last time. You can also send information based on scripture as to what will happen next. Each fulfilled prophecy will cause your letter and plea to be remembered and a decision to be made.
The question is, should you be left behind to face Armageddon, will you spend your time checking email? Of course, if any of us should be so unfortunate, we should agree ahead of time to still participate in a T'sC thread or two.  |

This Rapture stuff is one of the biggest frauds ever perpetrated by organized religion. |
