I'll take care of your pet when you are raptured away

What do you think? Should I join?

It's a question that all animal-loving Christian evangelicals must address: who will look after their pets on Earth when the Rapture comes and they are taken up to heaven?

Now a group of atheists in the US have come up with a tongue-in-cheek solution, offering to take in the cats and dogs of "saved" believers in return for a small fee.

All the atheists signed up by Eternal Earth-Bound Pets are self-confessed sinners and blasphemers, guaranteeing they will be left behind when the chosen are selected

I could probably start a small zoo of "small caged animals" or something after the rapture comes. Do tarantulas count as "small caged animals?" Can rapture-ready Christians have tarantulas?

Hat tip to Charlie.

Aren't we atheists going to be a little busy with the burning and hellfire and the zombies and the apocalypse to be really worried about pets?

if you keep tarantulas in a cage i'm staying really far away from your house. :) that goes for snakes too. lizards - maybe if it's of the fine mesh type... :)
