United States: While most people are pondering ways to repel the annoyingly over righteous from their doorsteps at the crack of dawn, a couple of lads from Idaho saw an opportunity in taking advantage of the superstitions of others.
Noticing that the wacky American fairy tale of the Rapture was getting wide notice from many unthinking cult members, they decided to set up a service called Post-Rapture Post that allows the gullible to pay a fee to have a personal I told you so
letter hand-delivered to their non-cult member friends and family who have been left behind.
Just write your letter and it will be hand-delivered immediately following the exodus of the pure from the Earth. But you must be thinking to yourself,How can the letters be delivered after the Rapture?The answer is simple. The creators of this site are Atheists. That's right, we don't believe in God. How else would we be able to deliver your correspondence after the Rapture?
Pure genius.

Genius!!! Curse the cunning b@rst@rds for having such a great idea...absolutely beautiful! I thought it was a piss-take at first, but nooooo. Extracting cash from the supernaturalists while openly denying their beliefs...it's fantastic!

I agree with Andy - it's disgusting .... that someone else came up with that idea first. It almost makes me want to go through the bible looking for other similar opportunities. I particularly like their firm grasp of religion when they say that George dubya will be amongst the first to ascend!

What I liked best were the testimonials. So, people are really buying it? That's hilarious!

The product links do go through to Paypal, so I would assume the PRP lads are parting the gullible from their cash. I particularly liked the "I told you so" postcard.

Build a better mousetrap.... Here's a free improvement on that idea based on the notion that smug knows no bounds when dealing with the Holier-Than-Thous. Set up a site where such a postcard gets delivered the next day. Follow up with another post card the day after explaining that the first postcard was sent ahead of schedule, and that there's still time.... I'm betting that you could make a bit of money with that service. I say "you" because I do not have the disposition that would let me do that and still be able to shave every morning without cutting my throat. Damn these scruples anyway! They cost me a fortune! :)
