Sending emails post-rapture

According to this article, for forty dollars, believers can join a site and plan to send emails post-rapture.

Youvebeenleftbehind.com offers users the ability to store e-mails and documents that will be sent to up to 63 e-mail addresses six days after the rapture has occurred. Users get up to 250 megabytes of storage space, 150 megabytes of it encrypted for sensitive information such as bank account numbers or eTrade passwords that can be accessed by those who remain on earth.

In evangelical Christian theology, the rapture is marked by a sudden visit from God, in which Christians will be whisked away to heaven while remaining nonbelievers will live on earth for seven years under the rule of the anti-Christ, until God returns with his followers to rule heaven and earth. via abcnews.com

Some are, however, questioning whether the site was set up just for profit, since those who believe in rapture are evangelical and the site itself makes no attempt to persuade more to become believers. Catholics believe in only one return of Christ. The preTribulation theory was set forth about 175 years ago by John Darby, founder of the Plymouth Brethren, and has been popularized by the Left Behind Series.
