More Rapture Madness, This Time With Pets!

Recently I wrote on Why I Think The Rapture Madness is Indeed Madness. Now I've learned there is a way for believers who love their pets to buy insurance so that they will be taken care of by atheists after the rapture. Yep, that's right!

Americans love Jesus and they love their pets. Those Christians who believe in the rapture (which could happen any moment)are concerned about who will take care of their pets when the rapture happens.

Enter an organization called, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, USA. On their website they say:

You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind? Eternal Earth-Bound Pets takes that burden off your mind.

We are a group of dedicated animal lovers, and atheists. Each Eternal Earth-Bound Pet representative is a confirmed atheist, and as such will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward. Our network of animal activists are committed to step in when you step up to Jesus.

We are currently active in 22 states. Our representatives have been screened to ensure that they are atheists, animal lovers, are moral / ethical with no criminal background, have the ability and desire to rescue your pet and the means to retrieve them and ensure their care for your pet's natural life.

For the mere sum of $110.00 they will sign a contract promising to personally take care of your pet when you are raptured. The contract is good for 10 years.

What a beautiful scam! I wish I would have thought of this. Apparently they now have 100 clients in 22 states.

Something like this could only happen in America--Christian America that is.

Is this not the hoot! The problem Christians still haven't dealt with is where their pets go when they die. Any theory of the resurrection or rapture must account for the myriad numbers of animals in the animal kingdom, especially when we are all inter-related on earth. Will mosquitoes and skunks and spiders and T-Rex's and maggots and sharks and hawks and mice and cats all be there? What kind of an environment will sustain all of these species in heaven if they are to retain their original bodies in some real sense? But if there is no reward for their sufferings here on earth then there can be no justification for their existence either, except as instrumental ends (i.e., the end justifies the means).

I've already argued that if a good God exists he should have made all creatures vegetarian, or provided human beings with miraculously created nutrients inside our bodies much like photosynthesis provides nutrients to plants, or even made edible vegetation to grow as plenteous as weeds to today.

Again, this is the mind of the believer. Hilarious!
