Does Jesus love your pets?

My brother emailed me a link to this post. I thought it was pretty funny. If anyone is worried about the status of their pets after the Rapture, read here.

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.

I was thinking of the dog from Men in Black.

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.

That was freaking hilarious. My two favorite lines:

- Over half the United States population has legitimate concerns about what will happen to their pets after the rapture occurs.
- They will get adequate amounts of food, water, and shelter as well as plenty of exercise and socialization as I would imagine there will be a lot of pets that will be abandoned by Jesus the pet hater that will need to be cared for.

I hope this guy makes a ton of money, simply because the idea is so inventive. Why should the religious leaders rake in all the conned dough from the saps willing to pay it?
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

If I were a rapture-ready Christian considering this service, I would want a guarantee in writing that the guy won't suddenly repent and accept Jesus after collecting all the money.
