Master 2802  Minnetonka, Minnesota | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture My friend showed me that artilce and my first reaction was "Wow, what a great business model - why didn't I think of that? Get paid today for a future liability that cannot be predicted when, or even if, will ever occur! " Then I realized it is because I am not a scam artist..... |

Extreme Veteran 614 | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture Based on the number of bumper-stickers I see declaring "WARNING: In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned", I'm already planning on opening a series of used-car lots specialising in spontaneously-abandoned vehicles. "No credit? No faith? No problem!" |

Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture I think they could improve their pricing structure. They should require people to bid for the placement of their pets, as there will be more pets than people to care for them. Those new homes should come at a premium. |

Extreme Veteran 513 Albuquerque | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture That guy is a genius. I saw this website quite a while ago- maybe a year- but at the time, it just appeared to be a joke. The fact that they're actually making real money off of this makes me so happy. Just kind of wish I'd come up with it first! I would totally sign up to have my name on the list of potential caretakers of pets left behind. |

Expert 2189 Dodge County, MN (out in the corn) | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture If anyone in MN with really nice horses wants me to watch them post-rapture, I'm happy to help! Could I maybe take those Olympic horses? Heck, I'll take racehorses too. More ponies for me!  |

Elite 4235 Spring, TX | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture So many things to worry about, and people are worried about this? Sorry, but to me it's all fairy tale stuff and I find it pretty silly. However, as an atheist and pet lover, I volunteer to take care of anybody's pet for free! Once all the religious people are gone, I'll have plenty of space to take care of the pets!

Extreme Veteran 745 Colo Springs, CO | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture Heck, I've already got 36 acres, so I can handle quite a few more to go along with my 5 horses, 3 dogs, and 1 cat. But once my evangelical neighbors are gone, I can take over their 40 acres (and 5000sq. ft. home) and take in a bunch more! |

Extreme Veteran 463 Houston/Richmond area | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture Really? There is a God. There is a heaven and there is a hell. God has given us one path to heaven (through Jesus Christ His Son). Believe, don't believe, the choice is yours. Eternity is a very long time. |

Lot's of gullible people out there. Look, I'm not trying to start a religious debate. I've heard it all and was raised a christian and still find it all to be ridiculous. If it brings you comfort, then great, but don't feed me the BS when I find this kind of stuff amusing. |

Expert 1138 Texas (Houston area) | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture Anyone stop to consider that if you are here to witness the rapture you will have more important things to think about than caring for pets. So you don't believe. That's fine with me. You are free to have that belief or non-belief to state it more accurately. But say it happens and you are left behind. Would you still consider it all BS and silly? Really?! |

Would you still consider it all BS and silly? Really?! Not at all. You're absolutely correct. IF this happens, then I'll have a lot to rethink, but I'll still take care of all the pets 'Left Behind.' But until then, I'm not going to be spending my time worrying about it! |

In your last moment, are you going to regret living your life honoring a myth or spending all that time at church instead of with friends & family enjoying life? This goes both ways. |

I don't think they have buffets or triathlons where you and me are goin' for, um, our 'retirement', AKA the land of asbestos underwear.. |

Elite 4547 | Subject: RE: Caring for Pets Left Behind by the Rapture Sorry, I don't buy the whole fire and brimstone deal. If there is a hell, it will be cold. Very cold. To me, that's hell. |
