Easier than a camel through a needle’s eye
Bruce Schneier spends some time talking about the fairly obvious dangers of the You’ve Been Left Behind web site. I assume these guys are crooks who are promising to “send documents by the email” to those left behind by the Rapture, but really are planning to pocket the subscription fees (or raid the assets of) the gullible.
“The gullible” sounds like I’m picking on people for believing in the Rapture, but I’m not particularly. I’m picking on them for poor asset management.
Think it through. Even if you believe the Rapture is immanent, isn’t it kind of presumptuous to decide you’re going and someone else is staying? That’s going to be a fun moment when Mom gets that “sorry you didn’t make the cut, but here’s my savings account” e-mail. It’ll be especially interesting if you didn’t make the cut either, and you have to race her to it.
If you think the Rapture is upon us and you have word from on high that your reservation is confirmed, hand deliver your assets.
