It's never too late to say "I told you so"  
When you absolutely, positively have to be a smug asshole to your friends and love ones one last time, there's:

YouveBeenLeftBehind.com

In a nutshell, the site queues up messages from you to your infidel friends that will be dispatched after the Rapture. And how does the site know that the Rapture has happened? Because at least three of the site's five designated holier-than-thou's will have failed to log in for three days running.

This begs the question of what would happen should, God forfend, a catastrophic but non-Rapture event should wipe out those saintly designees all at once. Can you imagine the chaos that would ensue should all those ha-ha-I'm-in-Heaven-now messages get sent while their authors are still miserably earthbound? I hope someone hacks the site and makes it happen.

Of course, maybe the opposite will happen, if Jesus frowns on seeing people profiting from the anticipation of the Rapture. In that case, maybe none of the designees will get lifted up, up, and away on that great and fateful day.

Wow. If Jesus lets this slide, he's going to have to apologize to the money changers in the temple.

"Yeah, um, sorry about the whipping, guys. Here, free shot."

Charming.

I can just see a scenario in Heaven, after the Rapture, when all those gloating e-mails have gone out, when a group of the Saved gets together -- "Hey, Sam! Bobby! Good to see you! Uh -- where's Joe? Anyone seen Joe?"

And it turns out Joe is in the Hot Place.

There's a certain counting of chickens before they've hatched here.

One of the instructors at my Combat Lifesaver class mentioned this website and we concluded that it has to be a hoax. Or parody. Or satire.

I'm one of the more paranoid ones and figure it for a scam given the amount of personal information they are asking for. It seems ripe for plucking the lower hanging fruit on the intelligence tree.

I love Rapture-based humor so I was really sad to see THIS IS FOR REAL.
