The Dyslexic Atheist: There is no doG

I came across this very interesting link yesterday from my twacquaintance @ProdigalJohn, who authors the fun site Stuff Christians Like. In a nutshell, the folks over at Eternal Earth-Bound Pets, for a cool $110, will be sure the pets of Jesus-followers are rescued in case of rapture! How about that?! Atheistic animal lovers will save your pets after Jesus comes back! I guess this answers the question about whether dogs go to heaven…

I have to say, though, I think there’s a philosophical problem here. To me, there are only two possibilities:

  1. These atheists aren’t atheists at all, but in fact people who really believe the rapture is going to take place, and thus who really believe this scenario could take place; or
  2. These people are thieves, just taking money for a service they won’t provide. After all, they’re sure there won’t even be a rapture. Right?
