Curse PremiumOk...This contains some religious elements to it but I DO NOT WANT TO START A RELIGION ARGUMENT....So no "_ religion is stupid, etc"..
Anyway...So Christians believe eventually Jesus will return and take all Christians back to heaven, right? But animals won't go with them. So what happens to the left-behind pets? You pay this company of atheists to take of them!
http://eternal-earthbound-pets.com/Home_Page.html
This is a REAL company where all employees are atheist, and therefore in the event of the rapture would not go to haven. You pay them 100 bucks and your pet is "insured" in the event of the rapture for 10 years....Does anybody, regardless of religions views, think that in the event where a huge number of people suddenly disappear, these guys would care AT ALL about your dog? If tops of people vanished, it would be mass chaos, with airplane pilots disappearing, car crashes, etc....What would happen:
Employee #1- Hey frank did you hear that thousands of people vanished and the world is in chaos, and airplanes are falling out the sky! I think that was the rapture!
Employee #2- Oh my gosh should we go help the animals? After all they did pay us.
Employee #1- Why? Everybody who paid us is gone....Lol lets go rob their houses, we have all their addresses.
Thats what would happen....Lol..Again, don't post anything about Christians or atheists or whatever...Don't you think this is so obviously a scam?
Question: How can you be content that your pets are in safety when your DEAD? LOL!
So is paying for anything about <name your god here>. I always thought believers where the easiest guys to scam (with amateurs of art) because they don't even know what they're talking about. As long as you have a way with words (or at least more than them), they accept whatever you say even if it's total bullshit... This is also how sects work, by the way.
It's funny though... Those guys claim they're atheists, so why would they "protect" your pets for something they don't even believe in? Money, obviously. And I'm pretty sure it will work, because as I just said before, people would buy anything as long as you have a way with words. In their case it's even more treacherous because they try to give a caring image of their business. Only naive people would buy that. Believers = naives in my opinion, so I'm pretty sure this business could be very, VERY lucrative...
@ZealNaga: Go Is business a religion ? I need to get into that ...
btw that is creative right there
Oh, you'd be surprised at the number of non-naive believers. They do tend to be much more cynical, though... I guess it comes with the territory.
LMAO I WANA JOIN! ahaahhahahaha They would probably eat the dogs btw. :p
LoL. You would be surprised how people naive are. Its all about money. And people pay for lots of nonsense. Looks up for Penn & Teller Bullshit show fore xample.
Religion was used to control a people long time before. Now, its a bit harder, but it still works in few occasions, for money.
xD Quite a business idea, but yeah; seems like pretty much a scam. But what isn't these days? (Don't use this as a segway to talk about popularity)
Religion is a business. They make much more money than you can think of, just look at the Vatican. Because "in the name of <whoever>", believers are ready to give their money. They are so fascinated by the mystery of faith (it leads to so many questions and yet no answer), that they are ready to pay someone for giving any kind of an answer... As long as the answer makes a little bit of sense, they will agree. I'd rather bet on science, which gave answers (with proof) to much more things in a century than faith in more than 2000 years... And trusting science helps me keeping away from sects, which is really REALLY close to how most religions behave nowadays.
In the case of this website, they try to answer the question "what will happen to your pets when we all go to Heaven?"... They have no answer (and if you're not dumb you know they can't possibly do anything), but believers will still pay for it because they believe in anything as long as someone knows how to "promote" the thing. Fundamentally, believers will trust people without having the need of an evidence. Yes, blind trust. You just need to tell them "I will take care of your dog when you're in Heaven", and they will trust you. Even if you leave their dog in the streets. And you don't care because when the guy will be gone, there's no way he'll be able to know you're doing what he paid you for. He just lost his money for nothing, "in the name of his god".
@OneSoga:
Even believers who don't bite to the whole "I'll take care of your pet" thing can still be considered naive. Just the fact of believing in someone that doesn't even exist, is naive. Where is this "god" everybody talks about? How could war be a proof that god is challenging us? So many questions, no real answer... When I hear believers talking about faith, I almost have the impression of hearing kids creating their story. When no one has the same point-of-view abouth faith, it's most likely than none of them is right... There is no god, faith is just a way of reassuring oneself when we have to face the hardness of real life. By the way, almost every single war that happened in History was based on religious beliefs.
People who can't face real life will claim it's a challenge from god. How could your own problems in life be the matter of an omnipotent being? Seriously... If you believe in god, and assuming he is a symbol of humility and wisdom, you're supposed to behave the best you can, to come closer to his teachings. So, tell me, how are wars in the whole world a proof of wisdom? How is believing that we, mere humans, will go to Heaven a proof of humility? If we were humble, we should take into consideration that going to Heaven is something we can't afford. So, cynical or not, believers = naives. So many questions, no answer.
Hmm, by the way... I know that wasn't the point of the topic, but I'm pretty sure arguing about religion can't be avoided... So I'll try not to participate in this topic anymore, because no one will change his point of view and it's better if we keep cool. This site doesn't have anything to do with religion, I'd rather keep it that way (and I don't want people here to hate me just because I can't believe in any god, whatever is the reason). Cheers. :)
Beyond your punitive understanding Im afraid. Its like a character in a Sim`s game saying "There is no God(aka Programmer) that created us".
@ZealNaga: Go I need some explanations, I'm not sure to catch your cynism/irony here. Anyway, I know my belief is not the belief of other people. If you believe in something, you should know that I also have the right to believe in something else than what you believe in. Trying to prove I'm intolerant is just a proof that you're not either, in a way...
EDIT: ... and it serves my point.

Curse PremiumLol do they actually say that? :) It doesn't matter what religion you are, this is just a scam because rapture = everybody who paid them is gone.
But I don't think all religion is a money scam. And not all Christians would pay for this, in fact I'd guess most wouldn't. I'm guessing these people have like 2 customers... Seriously though you know easy it is for them to make money? Just throw up a website with a donate money button and don't follow through with any of your obligations and you get money. Wow. IT even says the 100 bucks is just for travel cost and they'll adopt the dogs as thier own....Lol..
When the rapture occurs all non-believers will die and go to hell......
Fixed! Progammer is god of mapster! All hail the almighty Progammer! xD
I see no scam here.
Its just knowing something right and using it out.

Curse Premium@SouLCarveRR: Go
Actually no...The bible says there will be like 7 or 14 years (cant remember which) of crappyness on earth before that happens.
@zeldarules28: Go
The bible doesnt say anything about people living through the rapture though. Over the coarse of those years the vast majority of the earth's population will die. And all non-believers will go to hell.
Then the Earth Explodes and only the non-believers lucky enough to hitch a ride with Aliens will be able to escape the fury of hell.
From my understanding if you die out side of out solar system god and satan lack the ability/ motivation to come and collect your soul.
Personally I cant wait to meet satan and challange him to a one duel to the death.
When I hoist his bloody head toward the sky, the denizens of hell will rejoice and I will unleash them on the unsuspecting masses that have gathered in heaven.
It will truely be an exciting affair.
@SouLCarveRR: Go
Hey! That was my idea! I challenge you to a duel (map-making competition) to the death (judged by someone)!
We'll all go to hell eh? I'll grab the beers!
by the way, just have to bring this up. Who wants to go to heaven? Think about how its gonna be there. You had to follow millions of rules to get there, and looking at that, there are most likely going to a billion more rules there you'll have to follow. Wheres the fun?
Now hell... You broke all rules, you got there. Most hot chicks will go to hell anyway, right? And what about all the awesome guys? No way Chuck Norris goes to heaven, what would he do there? Its way more fun in hell =D
also, about "religion", i once got an funny (at least to me) idea. "Polyatheism". Not just ordinary atheism, not just not believing in god, but multitasking. I don't believe in that god, the other god, and all other third party gods that may or may not exist all at the same time.
Back on topic: Whoever made that thing is a genius. It's free money, and Einstein once said: “Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the the universe.” so there's bound to be someone who'll pay those 100 bucks.
Chuck Norris IS Heaven! Also, Einstein's quotes > Einstein's theory's :P
