After the rapture, he'll bring the mail (Atheist offers to send letters post-Rapture)
Spokesman Review ^ | 5/9/2007 | Katherine Boyle

Neither snow, nor rain, nor fire and brimstone will keep Joshua Witter from the swift completion of his appointed rounds come the end of the world. Witter, a 24-year-old self-described atheist living in Orlando, is the creator of the Post-Rapture Post, which bills itself as "the postal service of the saved."

For as little as $4.99, Witter offers to deliver your letters to friends and loved ones left behind after the Rapture, when some Christians believe they will be whisked up to heaven while everyone else — the "Left Behind" of the popular book series — suffers a series of tribulations.

As Witter sees it, it will fall to the unsaved to serve as the postmen of the Apocalypse

God doesn’t believe in atheists, therefore they do not exist.

Hope he's packing abestos-based paper...

Hm-m-m-m, tune in after, oh say, maybe 30 years, and let’s see if his given name, Joshua, has caught up with him yet. The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Thinking ahead, you say?

Then why does he act as if he's inserted his head?

Rectally, that is.

It really is imaginative. Wonder if he’s got any takers. Also, I wonder if he does anything more than take the money. If he doesn’t believe in it, then I guess there is no need for him to do anything in preparation of the rapture. But even if he’s wrong, no Christian is going to be around to hold him to his promise.

The trouble with this clown’s “service” is that I don’t associate with “friends” whom I expect to be left behind. In fact, I might be the one receiving the letters from others!

This brings to mind the "forever" stamp.

In the latest USPS first class postage rate hike, there were 42 cent stamps offered for sale, that would be "forever" good, sufficent enough to mail a letter, regardless of future rate increases.

SO ---

Just leave whatever "last" letters one wishes to convey with the other contents of one's 'last will and testament'.

Now, there may be awaiting period of some years, before, if one is raptured, one can be legally declared to be 'dead', and thus the will opened, and the letters dropped in the mail, but would it matter?

The letters will get there eventually, saving $4.67 per envelope, too. Who needs to pay this freebooting athiest mailman, when the USPS would do the same thing, but so-ooo much more cheaply and efficiently?

Many years ago a bud of mine from work was *really* into this rapture stuff.

I asked if he would leave me a note that it would be OK that I take his stereo..... Not being a smart-ass mind you, just asking him to back up his beliefs. We still talk and now that his wife has returned, he is pretty mellow.

How are you going to mail them if you’re raptured?
