Markets in Everything: Post-Rapture Pet Rescue

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.

Our service is plain and simple; our fee structure is reasonable. For $110.00 we will guarantee that should the Rapture occur within ten 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 friends.

MP: Thanks to Robert Alvarez for the tip. I wasn't sure it was legitimate, but the website is set up to accept payments of $110, so I guess it's legit at least in the sense that they'll take your money.

Marginal Revolution noted this a few weeks ago. Tyler Cowen also discovered that Earthbound Pets apparently has competition:

Really? I want proof they can handle that level of demand after we're gone. It sounds like another Social Security or Medicare empty promise.

Why don't they start by gathering and caring for every pound puppy and kitten, every stray, the foreclosure pets, and disaster pets.

If you want to see the world of atheists after the rapture, go to North Korea. They eat pets there.

BTW, all dogs go to heaven.

Is this now a website which promotes atheism? Just wondering...

Of course, the Rapture folks believe that money will lose all value in the run-up to the Rapture, so they're probably snickering at the suckers taking the worthless dollars.

How does this post promote atheism? If you believe in the rapture and want your pets taken care of if it happens during your life then there is nothing wrong with this as long as they deliver on their promises if the rapture happens.

Trust me, there will be a lot of lawyers left after the rapture.

Seems more like promoting hilarity to me.

Hilarity? Some people have a rather sophomoric definition of humor.

There is no doubt these website are being intentionally scornful of religious folk, Christians in particular. These same people would be outraged at similar websites ridiculing Jews, muslims, minorities, gays, vegetarians, etc. That would be called Hate Speech. Why isn't this?

Now what's really hilarious are the sites selling carbon offsets. I think more highly of someone buying a ShamWow than offsets.

Perhaps I'll become a realtor of beachfront property in Atlanta for the global warming kooks.

Let's start referring to pet owners as animal enslavers.

I'm a pretty devout Christian. Probably get labeled "fundamentalist" in some circumstances.

I think this is hilarious.

I suppose it's largely b/c I'm very doubtful of pre-tribulation theology. But, I also love a good business plan.

Call me sophmoric, but I find this hilarious!

I may not understand exactly how the Rapture works, but wouldn't the folks left behind be pretty busy looking for ways to cool off instead of taking care of the pets?

The correct answer to whether or not dogs go to heaven is ....

It all depends

I emailed Bart Centre, the owner of this pet rapture service and told him that I was Christian and it was my understanding that it is illegal to sell a service which you believe that you will never have to deliver. He became very angry and emailed me a note with a link for me to connect to. He said the link was his “lawyer” He lied.

It was not a link to a lawyer at all it was link to a picture of a sex toy molded in the shape of Jesus the Christ. Keep in mind this guy Bart Centre does not know who I am nor whether I am 15 or 50 years of age. Shame on him. He does not have Christians best interest at heart and he is a dirty old man, in my opinion. He is mocking Christians and God
