Christian service 'sends email from the dead'

A new internet service allows Christian subscribers to send emails to non-believing friends and relatives after they have died.



Youvebeenleftbehind.com offers users a facility to store emails and documents that are sent to up to 63 email addresses six days after the sender and fellow believers have been transported to Heaven.
--------------------------------------------

The service is rooted in the belief held by some evangelicals in the Rapture, a sudden visit from God in which Christians are taken away to Heaven leaving the rest to spend a further seven years on Earth under the dominion of the Anti-Christ.
--------------------------------------------

Youvebeenleftbehind.com was created by Mark Heard, a 49-year-old supermarket shelf-stacker from Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

He said he got the idea in 1999 while trading in shares online. It suddenly occurred to him that he would not be able to send his trading password to his wife if the Rapture suddenly took him, he said.

4. I'm betting this is way better than stacking supermarket shelves

He understands the rapture racket and is cashing in. Anyone who will pay for an email from the dead deserves to be ripped off.
