What They Think of Us: Will Your Pet Be Cared For After the Rapture?

I believe that we must love and care for our animals.  I believe that the Bible teaches that the Church will one day (though we do not know when and are told not to speculate as to when) be taken up into the air to be with the Lord before the time of the Tribulation begins.  I had never before put these two ideas together. It appears that others have.  See the very partial list below of websites discussing this very idea.

Several companies have sprung up promising, for a fee, to care for the the animals left behind by Christians after the Rapture.  Some of the companies say they have been organized by Christians, others by atheists.  All say that the people who will care for the animals are animal lovers and confirmed atheists.  We “will still be here on Earth after you've received your reward”

Some Christians are using the services. The Eternal Earth Bound Pets company says that they have 259 subscribers who have paid $135.00 each for the service.

This sounds like a sarcastic swipe at Christians, but the people at the British company Post Rapture Pet Care say that "This is not a joke. We feel very strongly about pet care and want to offer the best possible services to British pet owners. Feel free to get in touch at pets@postrapturepetcare.com  for more info."

The fact that some atheists do take this to be a joke is evidenced by the statement of someone going by the name of Flange Wogskit Bardgeholly at the RawStory.com site.  "Dint yo momma tell you not to make fun of the cripples?"

If the atheists involved with these companies really are serious about this, I would have two things to say to them:
1. Be sure to honor your committment.
2. Realize that when this happens, you will know the truth and you will have a momentous decision to make.
