New Website Provides Last Chance Bible Thumping

If millions of Christians suddenly disappear from the face of the Earth as the opening act for

Armageddon, Threat Level thinks most nonbelievers will be too busy freaking the hell out to check their e-mail. But if they do log in, now they can be treated to some post-Rapture needling from their missing friends and loved ones, courtesy of web startup YouveBeenLeftBehind.com.

For just $40 a year, believers can arrange for up to 62 people to get a final message exactly six days after the Rapture, that day when — according to Christian end times dogma — Christians will be swept up to heaven, while doubters are left behind to suffer seven years of Tribulation under a global government headed by the Antichrist.

“You’ve Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ,” reads the website, which is purportedly run “by Christians, for Christians.” The domain name is registered through an anonymous proxy service, presumably to protect the proprietors from the Forces of Darkness, and not because they’re up to anything shady.

I should have paid more attention in Sunday School because at no point do I recall good Christian values incorporating a little “neener, neener, I told you so!” Also, what is the significance of the number 62 in the Bible? That strikes me as an odd limit for the service, but maybe that is on me for thinking everything should be nice and round and quaint. I’m not sure who will keep the servers running and going post-rapture seeing as this is “by Christians, for Christians” and they’ll all be upstairs. Anyways, if this tickles your faith, why not look into Jesus Pets?
