"You've Been Left Behind gives you one last opportunity to reach your lost family and friends for Christ," the site promoting the service says.

Final e-mails from vanished subscribers will be triggered when three of the site's five Christian staffers fail to log in for six days in a row.

Let's hope stomach virus doesn't go around the office!

Great, because if Satan takes over after an enormous catastrophe that leaves most of the world dead the very first thing I'm going to do is check my e-mail .

They must be 100% certain that at least 60% of of them will be saved.

They really ought to diversify their portfolio of triggermen. Only five? And at least three of them have to be in exactly the same state of grace, under the same soteriology? What if they've got it just a little wrong and not enough triggermen are taken in the rapture? Presumably if the company gets it wrong, then a fair chunk of the people who signed up with the company would have gotten it wrong, too, and won't be nearly as upset about their messages not getting sent as being left behind themselves.

Besides... soooo unenforceable.

You should. Because if the disappearance of, say, 1/5th of the world's people and the Four Horsemen and whatever else is supposed to happen does not convicne you something odd is going on, then surely an email from an odd acquaintance will

BTW, whould at least one of the site's staffers be unworthy of salvation, does he still log on every day? Or does he not log on in order to do God's email work on Earth? And does that make him a better or worse Christian than if he stayed honest? And are all theological matters as pointless?

Erm, yes.
