Mechanics

W asked some questions about how it would work. I can only assume that they've staffed some heathen non-believers who are paid handsomely to sin as much as humanly possible to ensure they stay behind to flip the switch when their coworkers take the money and ru--er, I mean when they're taken up to heaven by the Rapture. That or they employ some sort of dead man's switch kind of like the bunker in Lost where they have to enter a code every certain period of time or the messages get sent.

Hah

If it isn't a straight out scam it would be interesting to know how it's suppose to detect that rapture of theirs, since the concept is that all american christians are teleported away in an instant there's no time to press any 'rapture started' button.
Also it would also be interesting to see if someone can't manage to hack it to make it believe the rapture had occurred, imagine everybody's secrets/valuables/power-of-attorney being transferred in one go, hilarity.

Why such hatred of Christians by the Enquirer?

It is sad to see that over and over again the inquirer shows utter contempt for Christians and the latest article by Egan Orion. The author only shows his ignorance of the complexity of the beliefs among evangelicals who are portrayed as having an average IQ of 70 and we are unable to see the obvious. Why don’t you just stick to technology and leave Christians alone it seems like you have an ax to grind and hold an unspoken rancor against Christians. you hatred speaks more about yourself that the people you are targeting. You should get a life or something

Seven bad years of tribulations?

"seven bad years of tribulations under the Antichrist before finally being annihilated at world's end"

By that reckoning, the Rapture should have happened when GWB was elected President, and the world ended in January.

Pre screening

The suckers have been pre screened for them by the religious organization. The scammers know they can be made to believe in ridiculous things, so a little scam should be easy.

Sad? no....

I wouldn't describe it as sad. Hilariously ironic would be more appropriate methinks.

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?
