The Dude wrote:So the guy is an atheist, and he's offering to care for your pet in case you get raptured out'a here when Jesus comes again. It's a sweet idea, but evangelicals who love their pets will still be separated from them. The owner-pet relationship is good for time only, not for eternity.
There must be a better way. Yeah, a way to ensure that owner-pet relationships can be sealed in heaven as an eternal bond.
If some clean cut missionaries would only knock on my door and offer to share such a message of hope with me, I would surely let them in.
Awesome.
One of my friends from the BYU days told me a story of when he gave his family's new kitten a name and a blessing. I'm not sure if he really did, but it was a pretty funny story. Could you imagine a pet-sealing ordinance? Cat and dog baptisms for the dead? LOL.
Cats can't perform the Patriarchal Grip, silly.
Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen
Your pets are better off dying when you leave. Do you really want them to try to survive in the new world order when the locusts come and sting everyone and the seas and rivers turn to blood? NO!!!!!! Prepare my friends. Have revelation till you when the Rapture will come so you know when the great euthanasia movement must begin.

Yeesh. I hate the whole Rapture issue, [God why did I read all the Left Behind books?] but since I'm a heathen now I'll be around to take care of my dog. Since he's a dog I'm sure he'll survive the sheep/goat splitting due to lack of category, not sure what he'll do after that, poor pooch.
