Eternal Earth-Bound Pets:
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 20 states and growing.

From their FAQ:
Q: Is this a Joke?
A: No. This is a serious offer to our Christian friends who believe in the Second Coming and honestly care about the future of their pets after the Rapture occurs.
Yeah right!
Please keep posting Afred1, you just keep making the case why religious people are NUTS!

OK, where’s the editor? Comment Posting Guidelines: What doesn’t get approved: Ridiculously long posts or machine generated posts.
If Guilherme Cherman can go around deleting comments just because he doesn’t happen to like them, surely some other editor can deal with this kind of nonsense?
#40-Mr.Fusion-Do you really think those who hate will be allowed into heaven?
I suppose it depends on what you hate. I hear hating sin is a big winner.
I’m insulted you don’t recognize that I am overflowing with compassion – I keep talking to you don’t I?
#30–thanks. I did not mean to mischaracterize the nature of the Rupture. I just never really pay attention to the details when reading about it.
So, the Rupture interregnum==your favorite pet, ex-wife, and the community doesn’t pay taxes. This changes when something else happens. OK, got it.
So much detail to remember. Must be hard to be a christian.

It’s nothing personal, Alfred1, it’s just my job.

#41, Alphie,
And you seriously think you have Jesus in your heart? Think hard, “What would Jesus say today?”.
Do you really think Jesus would want people to die from an easily corrected health problem because they don’t have health insurance?
Do you really think Jesus would want America to invade another country just because our President doesn’t like their President?
Do you really think Jesus would tolerate all the televangelists? Or the Pastors creating schools in their personal name? Or the huge churches raking in megabucks to enrich the leadership?
Do you really think Jesus would equate the deliberate murder of 10s of millions of people by homicidal maniac Nazis to Obama trying to get health insurance for all Americans?
Do you really think Jesus would love anyone who advocated these things?
Quoting scriptures isn’t what Jesus taught. He taught love. Acceptance. Peace. Humanity. If you can only quote the passages of the bible, then you haven’t learned what those words mean.
REPEAT..
#52, Alphie, the Budding Nazi Statist,
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of death, I shall fear no evil. For I am the meanest effen asshole in the valley.”
#53, Alphie,
#50 Of course not…but your premise is flawed:
How can the premise be flawed. Is that the Nazi speaking?
If you don’t let Jesus into your heart you won’t be allowed into heaven. Simple.
BUT,
You can’t have Jesus in your heart when it is filled with hate, loathing, greed, lust, avarice, malice and whatever else is wrong with you. Just saying
“hey everybody Jesus is in my heart”
won’t get you into heaven. You have to walk the walk not just quote scriptures without comprehension.
#56, Alphie,
I wasn’t talking about me.
Look closely at the inanity of your own posts. Maybe you might come to understand how much hate you not only have, but dispense.
#52 Alfred1
“…contradicts the conclusion anyone in God’s kingdom will want it to end.”
However much you might fear it, death is not optional.
#59, Mr. Reaper,
… death is not optional.
Oh, and like you’re some sort of expert?
;9
#59, Mr. Reaper,
Sorry, my emoticon didn’t work. Let me try another.
😉
Did you know that there is no historical evidence for the existence of the actual person of Jesus? You can’t use any of the New Testament to prove it. The gospels were written at least a generation after the supposed death of Jesus. At best the New Testament is hearsay.
If you want to be an actual moral person and still need the Bible to do it use this version.
1. “All flesh died that moved upon the earth.”
God drowns everything that breathes air. From newborn babies to koala bears — all creatures great and small, the Lord God drowned them all. 7:21-23
2. “The Lord is a man of war.” Indeed, judging from his acts in the Old Testament, he is a vicious warlike monster. 15:3
3. Sarah, who is about 90 years old and has gone through menopause, laughs at God when he tells her that she will have a son. She asks God if she will “have pleasure” with her “Lord” [Abraham], when both are so very old. God assures her that he will return and impregnate her at the appointed time. 18:11-14
4. Why does God send plagues? So that people can get to know him better. 9:14
2 things come out of this:
1. Alfred1 is incredibly stupid. (it’s actually unbelievable a person could be that stupid)
2. The chick in the picture is hot and should get a good pounding, maybe then she’ll stop thinking about fairy tales like the rapture.
This is brilliant marketing, but I think it would be classified as insurance, and as such is probably illegal in most states.
“When it comes to bullshit, big-time, major league bullshit, you have to stand in awe of the all-time champion of false promises and exaggerated claims, religion. No contest. No contest. Religion. Religion easily has the greatest bullshit story ever told. Think about it. Religion has actually convinced people that there’s an invisible man living in the sky who watches everything you do, every minute of every day. And the invisible man has a special list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any of these ten things, he has a special place, full of fire and smoke and burning and torture and anguish, where he will send you to live and suffer and burn and choke and scream and cry forever and ever ’til the end of time!
But He loves you. He loves you, and He needs money! He always needs money! He’s all-powerful, all-perfect, all-knowing, and all-wise, somehow just can’t handle money! Religion takes in billions of dollars, they pay no taxes, and they always need a little more. Now, you talk about a good bullshit story. Holy Shit!”

#61 Mr. Fusion
Don’t let the hooded robe and the scythe mislead you, Mr. Fusion. Reaping is a long established and very serious business.
I only use these smiley things so I don’t scare Alfie1 too much. He might think it’s the Rupture and do something overly dramatic.
🙂
Gift of the holy spirit:
1. God kills everyone (men, women, children, infants, newborns) in Sodom and Gomorrah by raining “fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven.” Well, almost everyone — he spares the “just and righteous” Lot and his family. 19:24
2. God tells Abram to kill some animals for him. The needless slaughter makes God feel better. 15:9-10
3. But God wasn’t satisfied with the slaughter of the 3000, so he killed some more people with a plague. 32:35
He isn’t even a nice imaginary being.
…
(whistles in amazement at Afred1)!
Wow! Just wow!

> The Lord killeth and maketh alive
Yep. God of love alright. Us sane folk call that sadism.
#43
> Nothing is impossible with God
Including pain, suffering, disease, torture, Alfred1 and host of other thrills and excitement. Stay tuned for a fabulous real estate deal in Sodom.

I’m having a Time Bandits flashback. Anyway, didn’t your deity create *everything* including the world and the Evil One? (Only one?) Again, your deity is a sadist.
> “he will be let back

Who didn’t exist when man was thrown out.
> “Therefore all the evil

No, you are claiming that all the evil in the world is the fault of one man: Adam for eating from the wrong tree.

Millions have claimed they we were invaded by aliens from another planet. Millions have claimed that spirits live inside of trees. Millions of children claim an obese man flying on a sleigh drawn by flying reindeer delivers gifts in one night every year…

Ahh! A breath of fresh(intelligent) air!
Sadly, I believe logic is lost on on poor ol’ Alfred1
Hey Alfred – I hope you take your box full of crazy over and argue when this story hits Fark. Your tireless fountain of useless information about the invisible man in the sky and his zombie kid is much needed there at the weekly theist vs antitheist banter.
And back to the God as mass murderer discussion. Don’t forget Jericho where he was said to tell his boy to kill every man woman, child and animal as soon as he busted down the walls for his chosen mass murdering thugs. Which brings us back to the guy who ‘listed’ all the ‘atheists’ who were mass murderers. Hitler doesn’t belong on that list, what with doing the Christian fantasy work of killing jews and all – he was quite ‘spiritual’ and them of course Mao believed in quite the spiritual forces himself. Not sure about Pol Pot but he was certainly following a ‘higher order’ with his set of ‘beliefs’ – atheists don’t have sets of beliefs not born of reason and logic. Stalin was an sociopath of a high order to be sure and another follower of a ‘higher order’ with godlike leaders who were followed blindly without reason and without thinking. Same as any other religion. :-p
To the real Bible reader this may not be that much of an issue. As long as people are expecting it to come any time now it isn’t going to happen or that’s what the book says.
Besides tribulation is going to be rough enough that pets are most likely going to be a valuable source of food.
#67, Alphie,
“Repent, and let each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
The problem there is you haven’t repented. You claim you have, but you have yet to live as Jesus (aka Hey Zeus) would like you to. You can’t. For you it is impossible. Your heart is too filled with hate to allow Jesus (aka Hey Zeus) in.
As I said before, you can quote scripture all day. It doesn’t mean you understand what Jesus was teaching his followers. It only means that you know of some scripture you can copy and paste into your comment. (Copy and paste can be good)
It is the same with Shakespeare. Read, feel, experience what he was saying. Understand the language he wrote in. The nuances, slang, colloquialisms, attitudes, mores.
For example, what would Jesus say about you owning a gun? Do you really think he would approve?
How about your cheering of torture? After all, Jesus was badly tortured before his crucifixion which itself is torture.
Then there is your encouragement of the debasement and rape of young women. Solely for breeding purposes of course. Would Jesus be proud of you?
You favor those who want to enslave women to bear children. You don’t care much for their plight or lot in life. You aren’t even too enthusiastic about having the baby’s father provide support. Because after the baby is born, she is just another harlot, another whore, another loose woman.
If you truly want Jesus in your heart, you will need to make room for him. If you haven’t guessed by now how to do that, you never will.
#75–It takes intelligence and humor to post that.
EDITOR==please check Post #75. It is clearly another guy falsely posting as Alfred1. You guys gotta get those controls in before peoples’ reputations are thrown asunder.
Hey Alfie, Jesus doesn’t know you, get over it. The bible is a hate filled, racist, statist piece of crap written by nazi people who wanted to have control over the ignorant masses. Alfie, you fit right in.
“All day long, I am are wrong”. Repeat that each morning and maybe you’ll get somewhere.
Nah, you won’t because of your delusions so we’ll just have to keep slamming you and you’ll keep ignoring facts and science and critical thinking.
You’re not fooling or converting us so how does that make you feel?
Oops, I meant to say to Alfred1, the resident Delusional commenter,
“All day long, I am wrong”.
So may of your politicians say that God tells them things (when to run for office, when to invade other countries, when to take the wide stance in the men’s room etc). Why is it, Alfred1, that you have to quote from the Bible to reference what God wants? Don’t you have a direct line? Is He displeased with you?
