Web Service for Post-Rapture Communication

Several years ago the Wittenburg Door asked readers to submit the weirdest thing they could find for sale in a Christian bookstore. The winner was the "Critter Cross," a cardboard cross on which believers could inscribe the names of their pets, then hanging the handsome accoutrement on their front doorknobs to notify left-behind pagans of animals needing care during the tribulation. N.B. that the marketers of the Critter Cross never indicated whether pets would need to be marked with 666 to be fed during those awful times. Whether the Critter Cross might lead roving bands of pagans to identify Puff and Fido as potential sources of emergency nourishment seems not to have been considered.

The Critter Cross has now been updated and expanded by YouveBeenLeftBehind.com, a service that notifies your pagan friends why you and so many (or maybe not so many) others have gone missing.

We will defer to the thorough description offered here. Suffice it to say that because the service costs money, we discourage our anti-dispensational readers from signing up just for the fun of it.

Hat tip: alert gentle reader Scott.

Suggested comment: other methods people have come across for explaining the Rapture in the absence of the Raptured.

Are you saying that my "in case of rapture..." bumper sticker is less than sufficient?

An "out of dimension" auto email response would do the trick for me as well as a facebook status message that says "Bryan D has left the building, rapture style".

Unfortunately Bryan, many Christians' facebook status would read "Bryan D is has left the building, rapture style," thus adding to the confusion.

What happens if you pay for this service, and there really is a "Left Behind" style rapture and you are still here? Do you get your money back?
