Warning: the saved can’t take their beloved pets with them when the Rapture comes tomorrow

The Rapture is scheduled to happen tomorrow on May 21, 2011, but what will happen to the pets left behind when the saved are taken up into Heaven to be with Jesus?

Eternal Earth-bound Pets to the rescue. According to the organization’s website:

You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved.  But when the Rapture comes, what will happen to your loving pets?   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 26 states, employing 40 pet rescuers.  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. 

Eternal Earth-bound Pets is not offering a free service: keep in mind, the unsaved will still need to eke out a living here on Earth:

Our service is plain and simple; our fee structure is reasonable.

For $135.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten (10) years of receipt of payment, one pet per residence will be saved.  Each additional pet at your residence will be saved for an additional $20.00 fee.   A small price to pay for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your four legged and feathered friends.

On this fine Sunday afternoon when all is ready and I’m waiting for my dinner guest to arrive, it occurred to me that Katalusis readers might enjoy a little diversion from politics as usual.

Here’s the deal: When my friend Melinda and I visit long distance on the phone, her pets, Cassidy (the bird) and Jackson (the dog), much like young children, get into all kinds of things. But the day Cassidy, who has his own birdbath, decided to bathe in Jackson’s water dish took the prize. Melinda just happens to be a talented photographer who enjoys photographing animals and in my opinion, the above pics are priceless.
