What will they think of next.
This is not to start a discussion on Rapture or religion, but on capitalism, maybe gullibility, or who knows what else. I just had to laugh.

Services offer post-Rapture care for pets left behind
Christians' pets will be without owners if the Rapture comes, so nonbelievers are willing to rescue them -- for a fee.

When my beloved Tankie died, a friend gave me a copy of "Dog Heaven," a sweet children's book. The drawings of happy dogs romping in an afterlife were comforting, even though I didn't buy the concept.
But what if the book is wrong? What if there's not a life after death for dogs, cats or other household pets? And what if the Rapture comes and you're spirited off, leaving your critters behind? (Some people believe the Rapture will happen as soon as May 21.)
Two organizations that we know of are willing to arrange for their post-Rapture care by nonbelievers for a small price.
For $135, and $20 for each additional pet, Bart Centre's Eternal Earth-Bound Pets USA will have your pet picked up within 24 hours after the Rapture -- guaranteed! -- and adopted, Washington Post columnist John Kelly reports. So far more than 250 people, mostly in the Bible Belt, have taken Centre up on this. The contract is in effect for 10 years -- good to know in case the May 21 prediction is off. If the 10 years expire before the Rapture comes, perhaps you can renew.
Centre and his 44 contractors in 26 states are pet-loving atheists who have sufficient space to take the usual types of household pets, including birds and hamsters, into their homes to live out their lives. Adoption of large animals like horses and llamas is available in Montana, Idaho, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Likewise, After The Rapture Pet Care, co-founded by a Christian and a nonbeliever, has a network of non-Christian volunteers who will provide a similar service for a $10 fee. Post continues after video.

they must plan on very few people leaving. Why would a christian give money to someone who is saying they dont plan on going to heaven, ya and I bet you would not lie to me either even though if you do not beleave in heaven there is no draw back to lying, I mean no way to know if they have your pet or not youll be gone gezzz this is stupid.
