“Spot” and the Secret Rapture

Both Christians and atheists know a money-maker when they see it. Tens of millions of dollars have been made by individuals and businesses who have promoted the false doctrine of the secret rapture via their books and movies. Now the atheists have decided to get in on the gig.
In the Sunday, February 28, 2010, edition of The Springfield Journal Register, an article entitled “Service vows to save pets left behind in the Rapture” appeared. It seems as if Bart Centre, entrepreneur, has decided to offer to care for the pets that belong to people who expect to be saved in the Rapture. The company is called Eternal Earth-Bound Pets. The service calls itself “the next best thing to pet salvation in a Post Rapture World.” What’s the catch? You pay $110.00 for a ten year contract (What! Not seven year!). The catch is that the Rapture has to occur within 10 years of receipt of payment.
And who will take care of “Spot”? Atheists who won’t be saved. But not just any old atheist. The atheists must be animal lovers and have no criminal background. They must be moral, though lost, people. Once the rapture has taken place, they will go on a rescue and retrieve operation once Christians have departed this earth.
Why is Mr. Centre offering such a service? His response: “I’m trying to figure out how to cash in on this hysteria to supplement my income.” He is several steps behind certain well-known authors who have already figured out a way how to make a rich living off such tripe. On the other hand, perhaps we should find it refreshing that for a change non-Christians are trying to catch up with Christians when it comes to a trend.
