The Rapture. The event, not the band.

I love seeing the opportunities people use to cash in. Anything is fair game and usually it's an obvious and ugly ploy but occasionally you see one that just makes you smile. A cynical, sarcastic smile, but a smile none the less. I just stumbled upon one such beauty.

You've Been Left Behind
This here is a website tailored to Christians who are sitting around, waiting for the express elevator to God (the Christian one, not one of the many others which may or may not be the a. same dude or b. a figment of an average imagination) called The Rapture. Basically Jesus (the son of the aforementioned God, not a south american citizen) returns, other mixed spirits (left-overs of the dead, not alcohol) hang-out and all true-believers (read: God-Fearing Christians) are beamed to God (whether Scotty has anything to do with the beaming or not has yet to be confirmed or denied, although now he's on the other side there's a good chance he'll be involved).

So the website basically allows Christians to store emails and documents for their heathen friends which will be supplied to these poor lost souls 6 days after the main event. Of course we may all have more pressing things to do, like dodge floating-burning skulls (see: Doom) than check emails. The awesome catch is that you pay a yearly membership fee which will apparently 'drop proportionally to the number of subscribers'. Awesome.

My question is that if the 'Christians' that set-up the site are, as i think they would be, reaming fellow-believers out of cold hard cash will they still be allowed boarding-passes to the main event or will they be left behind to run tech-support for their site?
