So I'm cruising AndrewSullivan.com, and he links to a website which focuses on the Christian "Rapture".
Apparently, an Atheist has started a commercial website at which 'ye Christian believers' can leave a message to the friends and loved ones (and sinners) who will be left behind upon this great, mysterious future date. Since the atheist naturally won't be taken in the rapture, the good Christians are sure someone will be manning the website once they're sucked up into heaven.
Here's the link:
The Post-Rapture Post - About Us
Here's some jewels from various points in the website:

From the FAQ page (poetically titled "God hates FAQs"
How Do We Know that You Will Not Ascend To Heaven with Us?
The Bible says that only those that repent of their sins and accept Jesus as the True Son of God will be saved. We do neither. Some of our personal sins include: drunkenness, heresy, sacrilige/blasphemy, gluttony, laciviousness, and sloth. There is no way we are going to disappear into Heaven any time soon.

Aren't You Afraid of God's Wrath?
We don't believe in God, remember? In the event that the Rapture actually occurs, we will go to Plan B: "Lifetime of Sin Followed by Deathbed Repentance."

Then there are the ACTUAL customer testimonials from people who are buying this service (the fact that people are is all the better!)
