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 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 22 states. 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.

We currently cover the following states:
Maine,New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Colorado, Oklahoma, Kansas, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, North Carolina, and Georgia.

Our service is plain and simple; our fee structure is reasonable.
For $110.00 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 $15.00 fee. A small price to pay for your peace of mind and the health and safety of your four legged and feathered friends.

Unfortunately at this time we are not equipped to accommodate all species and must limit our services to dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and small caged mammals. [Please note: we can now offer rescue services for horses, camels, llamas and donkeys in NH,VT, ID and MT ]

Thank you for your interest in Eternal Earth-Bound Pets. We hope we can help provide you with peace of mind.

What a brilliant idea - got to love the American entrepreneurial spirit.

Wow. At first I thought this was Failblog.

It is a vhairy serious concern obviously and I'm purrleased to see someone is making sure my fluffy friends will have grreat life after the Apocalypse.

Its kinda the purrfect business plan. Its a chance for the atheists/agnostics to get their paws on the Christian fundamentalist's cash. And if they argue against the business they are barking up the wrong tree as they are arguing against their belief in the Bible.

Apologies for the poor punning.

I like this bit from the FAQ:

Q: How do you ensure your representatives won't be Raptured.
A: Actually, we don't ensure it, they do. Each of our representatives has stated to us in writing that they are atheists, do not believe in God / Jesus, and that they have blasphemed in accordance with
Mark 3:29, negating any chance of salvation.

What the heck! Ummm i dont know what to say other than it must suck for people falling for this. I thought they knew all dogs go to heaven screw the rest!

I honestly can't believe something like this exists...

I hear alien abduction insurance is surprisingly popular.

I rather think they are just taking the

I have to hive the group kudos

'a sucker is born every minute' -p.t. barnum

No rapture for me. I will doubtless be going to that place where demons will shove red hot pokers up me jacuzzi to make me lick the fetid pustules on Satan's gonads for all eternity. The last thing I need to worry about is the well being of my much loved pets' non-souls in the hereafter.

Who ya gonna call?

oh that's a weight of my mind.

it's a joke, jest, jape, wind-up, leg pull. prank.

Uh, I wonder if they would fancy opening a franchise over here? I could do with a new job.

Wow $110 to take some dead persons cat, chuck it in a bag with some bricks and then throw it in a pond somewhere. Sounds like a lot to me.

I hope that "taking care" of someones pet will at least involve a car full of thugs packing uzi's...

Hey Jeb, my missus heard about this on the radio, she said they already had 90 paying customers!

I genuinelly respect the Americans entreprenurial spirit, you guys are smart!

Remember that famous preacher? "God wants you to give till it hurts!"

My dog is going to experience the Rapture with me. He reads the bible daily and talks to me. It's a little weird, because he only speaks Hungarian, but we get by.

Wow, just wow.

This is great.

Where can I sign up to take care of pets in case the "rapture happens" and whats my cut?
HAHA...love the idea, I wonder how many people jump on it. Seriously my pets are great and I am good with them, I can pass a criminal back ground check and am moral ( by American standards.....).

Oh.... my.... fething..... God..... Really? If people are that worried about what happens to their pets after the rapture, they might as well just baptise their dogs and save their money for the 700 club. God have mercy on the stupids.

I wish i would have come up with this idea....if they get one customer at all, then its already profit. One person can run the whole thing!! oh man...

wait wouldnt believing in the rapture mean there not atheists?
i know this is a scam but the people giving them money must have some common sense.

The best part of their business model, they don't actually have to deliver on services promised.

No they're not, as the Rapture isn't IN any version of ANY Christian Bible. Rapture belief came up in the late 1800's. They're only arguing against their own personal religious belief.
