Hi,Many fundamentalist Christians believe that before the end of the world all true believers will be lifted up to heaven to dwell with their god. This whole process is referred to as The Rapture.
Actual belief about when the Rapture will take place is divided. But most of these beliefs have the earth continuing in dire straights for some time afterwards.
A new web based service has started up to deal with the problems facing Christians caught up in the Rapture.
People can lodge documents and messages with the service which will only be released once the Rapture takes place.
Once you're lifted up to heaven you can put your legal affairs in order and say goodbye to loved ones who did not make the grade. Tricky legal positions will crop up - such as you will not have left a corpse so normal inheritance law will not apply. So you can lodge a power of attorney with this service which is enacted after you have been physically transported to heaven.
It is good to see web entrepreneurs finding and exploiting new religion driven markets. The site must be run by pagans to make sure that the service keeps running after all of the true believers have departed.
However I'm not so sure that fundamentalist Christians should be targeted so aggressively. They've got enough problems of their own to deal with.
Personally I won't waste my money on it - I'll be one of those left behind...

But when the world end's...won't we all be going somewhere?
If you're a christian and you're that bloody worried about your money, then you're not a proper christian.
Aparently the server is on automatic and if you don't log in every three days it thinks you've been hauled bodily up to heaven.
Expect lots of heavenly false alarms.
