Deep Thoughts: After rapture pet care

After rapture pet care

I found an interesting story on Serial Youth Pastor. I seems some enterprising con man on Craig's List who is masquerading as Atheist providing after rapture pet care for a small fee. For $50, Christians can be assured their pets will be looked after. At least the Christians who posted comments were able to laugh about it. Although I am afraid they believe an atheist is behind the ad. Which pisses me off the little bit.

The original link it here. The article is a few months old so I'm sure this is old news to some of you.

There is a sucker born every minute.

It's impossible to be astonished at the depths of human stupidity (and gullibility). Well it is, and that article proves it. Oy vey.

I actually heard this idea expressed as a joke on the Atheist Experience pod cast a few months ago. People can be so stupid.

Uh... why doubt this guy's atheism? I don't doubt it for a minute, nor do I condemn his amusing and creative offering. I think its great.

What you have here is a guy who is clearly ridiculing and trying to cash in on the fundy beleif in the Rapture. If he's able to scam fundies out of their money for such a idioctic belief, more power to him. He is breaking no law, committing no fraud...until the rapture happens :)

His entreprenurial creativity is to be admired.
Afterall, fundies willingly give their money to evangelical tv preachers, faith healers, and mega churchs, et al...and get zero in return. This guy is at least offering them a "service" ... naturally, one they will never collect on, but they don't realize that.

PS: BTW... i too offer a service to believers.

In exchange for their worship, praise, and $25.00 a year, I will answer all their prayers. That's right...every one of their prayers will be answered, just like Jebus promised in Mathew 21, Mark 11, John14, etc. . No strings.

Naturally, just as Jebus does, I reserve the right to answer "NO!" to those prayers.

I wonder if there will be any takers for a service like this.

It's strange, in my opinion, for a believer to, at the same time, accept a faith system that de-values their human companions (and every other sentient nonhuman on earth) to such an extent that they are not believed to have souls - they're like rocks - while simultaneously extending their compassion to these same valueless "things" byway of ensuring that they are taken care of until, of course, they suffer and parish in the wake of the messiahs return.
