Keith Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 http://uk.news.yahoo.com/us-atheists-offer-pet-rescue-judgment-day-170352856.html When judgment day comes -- which some US Christian fundamentalists insist will happen on Saturday -- have you thought about what you're going to do with the family dog and cat? In 26 US states, you could have them rescued and adopted by enterprising atheists who have set up a business to care for the animal companions of any Christians who are selected to go to heaven when Jesus Christ comes back. "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 says on its website, offering to "take that burden off your mind." The post-doomsday pet rescue service already has 259 clients, who have paid $135 for the first pet and $20 for each additional pet at the same address, to ensure the faithful animal companions are looked after and loved even when their Christian owners have gone to the other side. All the rescuers are sworn atheists, which means they will definitely be left behind on Earth, ready to rescue pets after the Rapture, which one US Christian fundamentalist group has penciled for Saturday. When judgment day happens, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets co-founder Bart Centre "will notify all of our rescuers to go into action and they will drive to the homes of anyone who's signed a contract with us, pick up their pets and take them home and adopt them as their own, keeping them happy and healthy for the rest of their lives. "This will happen only if and when the Rapture happens. So we do not expect to have to do anything on Saturday," Centre told AFP. Contracts are good for 10 years, just in case the Mayan calendar prophesy, which predicts the world will end in December next year, comes true. If Keigmeister wants me to look after his rabbit from Sunday, in the event of him suddenly being spirited away, I'll be happy to do it for £100.

John Wright Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 God, there is nothing as gullible as a US fundamentalist. Best scam of the year, better than EVA. Find a simple, gullible target and ...wham! Prey on their fears and pocket the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilitantDogOwner Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 If Keigmeister wants me to look after his rabbit from Sunday, in the event of him suddenly being spirited away, I'll be happy to do it for £100. Unfortunately, I will be eating Keigys rabbit due to all the shops being closed when all the believer shop workers "ascend". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, they obviously got the business idea by reading Manx Forums! And if I didn't have a proper job I wouldn't have missed the original thread! :rolleyes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mission Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Fuck me, just how many times is the world supposed to end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambon Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Fuck me, just how many times is the world supposed to end? Don't know. Even this lot cannot make up ther minds. The original news shot that came out about 6 weeks ago said that judgment day was indeed to be 21/05, but the end of the world was to be in September some time.

guzzi Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 I understand that the rapture is tomorrow, when those that are saved will be taken up into heaven. There will then commence a period when God will destroy all those who are left, and that should all be complete by October sometime. So a pretty shit summer.

MilitantDogOwner Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 A world without religious dogma, restriction and hatred. Sounds like we're the ones being saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terse Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 God, there is nothing as gullible as a US fundamentalist. Best scam of the year, better than EVA. Not quite. I believe EVA have the contract to take all the 'saved' up to heaven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilitantDogOwner Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Willing to make a large cash sum bet on it EG? Besides its win/win either way. It happens = Bloody religious types are gone. Win It doesn't happen = Bloody religious types look even stupider than they did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terse Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 It's amazing how many 'quotable' bits there are in THIS BBC REPORT! For example: Chris McCann of eBible Fellowship, one of the groups helping to spread the message, said it had been publicised in almost every country. "The only countries I don't feel too good about are the "stans" - you know, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, those countries in Central Asia," he said.
