The Hewdge article about a group of atheist animal lovers, who for a fee, promise to look after any ‘left-behind’ pets, after their Christian owners have been taken up to heaven or “raptured”, has sparked a firestorm of debate among our evangelical readers
The article, posted on Saturday, features the American website: http://www.eternal-earthbound-pets.com
To follow, a few of the letters Hewdge has received.
What the hell kind of fag blog-site are you running anyway? Jesus!!! Who the hell is interested in Eternal Earthbound-Pets services, fer chrissakes?! As a hetero-practicing Christian, who is due to be paroled next month, why in hell would I let a commie-liberal-nancy-atheist take care of my best friend?”
F**k that website…..Hewdge mistake! Amen

I think Eternal Earthbound Pets is a wonderful idea and I believe God will forgive those atheists (in some small measure) for their good works. I have already signed up Ginger for the scheme, because I’m worried he might get stuck up a tree when I’m not around

I’m not sure about this scheme – can we Christians really trust people like atheists to be honest and look after our beloved pets when we’re sitting at God’s right hand? After all, these people are self-confessed sinners. I think I would rather leave my pet with the Confucians up the road (as long as Mr Kim Yeong and his family promise not to cook and eat my little Bobby in a curry after I’ve gone)

I wonder how many rapturing hopefuls will go for this scheme to tell you the truth. Big John, you will be on the street soon so maybe you should hook up with Mrs Stowne. It should be easy for you to persuade gullible Rosetta to also sign you up for the scheme. You know there will be no rapture for you and to be taken care off by an atheist must beat going back to the slammer.
Good luck to ya’all.
Forget the pets, will they take me in? Sounds like the answer to my problems as I died and am up a tree as well.
