Judgement Day - 2011

[Aslanna]

I cant believe nobody has posted about the most important topic of our time: The beginning of the end this Saturday for all the heathens. How are you preparing for your doom? I'm guessing a few rolls of duct tape and plastic sheeting wont cut it this time.

Assuming someone actually believes it's "the day" I'd think it's a great occasion.

Personally, i'm looking forward to the Seven Years of Tribulation. How about you guys?

Atheists offer to rescue Christians’ pets after judgment day

WASHINGTON — When judgment day comes -- which some US Christian fundamentalists insist will happen on Saturday -- have you thought about what you're going to do with the family dog and cat?

In 26 US states, you could have them rescued and adopted by enterprising atheists who have set up a business to care for the animal companions of any Christians who are selected to go to heaven when Jesus Christ comes back.

"You've committed your life to Jesus. You know you're saved. But when the Rapture comes, what's to become of your loving pets who are left behind?" Eternal Earth-Bound Pets says on its website, offering to "take that burden off your mind."

The post-doomsday pet rescue service already has 259 clients, who have paid $135 for the first pet and $20 for each additional pet at the same address, to ensure the faithful animal companions are looked after and loved even when their Christian owners have gone to the other side.

All the rescuers are sworn atheists, which means they will definitely be left behind on Earth, ready to rescue pets after the Rapture, which one US Christian fundamentalist group has penciled for Saturday.

When judgment day happens, Eternal Earth-Bound Pets co-founder Bart Centre "will notify all of our rescuers to go into action and they will drive to the homes of anyone who's signed a contract with us, pick up their pets and take them home and adopt them as their own, keeping them happy and healthy for the rest of their lives.

"This will happen only if and when the Rapture happens. So we do not expect to have to do anything on Saturday," Centre told AFP.

Contracts are good for 10 years, just in case the Mayan calendar prophesy, which predicts the world will end in December next year, comes true.

I've been saving my supply of poison-laced Kool Ade for years! My time is nigh! Huzzah!!!

I have all the toilet paper I'll ever need stocked up and I recently purchased 500 plastic spoons but that's for next year.

I'll probably be playing Witcher 2 on this Judgement day, pending completion of L.A. Noire.

Clearly Potatoshop needs a spell check.

Hopefully, the beams of heavenly light will be easy to triangulate to raptured residences. I need some new shoes.

That would look ominous if you lived in the houses in the foreground of that picture!
