(Orlando Sentinel) Florida For a modest, upfront fee, atheist says he will deliver cards and letters from Christians to their non-believing friends, relatives and neighbors left behind when the Rapture comes. P. T. Barnum was so very, very, right   (orlandosentinel.com) divider line 165

Neither war nor famine nor death nor gloom of conquest will stay this courier from his appointed rounds (?)

This is either the third such person attempting this scam, or this is a repeat from a decade ago.

I'd start a "Left Behind" pet care service for Christians' beloved pets were I not so damn ethical.

TFA: On the other hand, should the Rapture not arrive in his lifetime, he gets to keep the money, which he promises to use to subsidize his sinful lifestyle.

There's always a catch isn't there?

My friend has a good Idea, never did anything about it , The Suckers...I mean christian pay $2000 a head a year for " Rapture Rescue" . Have a back sliding relative that you doubt will make the rapture, then our armed and trained atheists will rescue them after and bring them to our compound in upper NY .Where they will receive a bible and listen to taped sermons so that they may be saved

He thinks that this would pay for a pretty sweet hunting fishing Lodge and lots a guns which all look legit for preparing for the "end Times ".

A person who has a good grasp on reality, without the need for an imaginary guide to tell him what is right and what is wrong.

There's all kinds of stupid here for sure. Assuming he really is an atheist, how can he buy into this crap:


FTFA "Covered with boils, he will have to fight his way through perpetual darkness, clouds of insects, and meteors falling from the sky to deliver the mail."

He buys into it just as much as the lady in the clothing store who tells me that I look stunning in size 0 jeans.
He tells his clients what they want to hear.

Might as well offer 'unbaptized babies' service too.

Repeat or not, this made me smile.

I had friends over on Friday with their 8 year old child. He came down stairs with his mum and asked me in a very genuine voice "Why don't you believe in the miracles of Jesus Christ?"

He and his mum had noticed my copy of "God is not great" by the loo.

My father in law tried his best with my 1st born. We asked him to do the speech at the Naming Ceremony (Humanist Christening without the god part). Anyway, right at the end he called out "God bless you".

I suppose he thinks he might have saved my sons soul. Kind of made a mockery of the event though.

He made a mockery of a ceremony you believe in by invoking a deity you don't believe in?

To me, all invokations of deities I don't believe in, are nonsense - well-meaning nonsense, but still. I mean, it's not like he can sell your son's soul to god by saying that blessing.

So I don't see why you'd consider "god bless you" more of a mockery than any other nonsense he could have uttered - like "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!"

Brilliant. If only I'd thought of it first.

Because his father in law got the jesus on him.

What Christian is so dumb as to think that their precious snookums won't accompany them into Heaven?

According to catholic church dog's do not go to heaven since they have no soul. I learned that in Pre-Cana class and told my future wife that I did not want to be married in the catholic church by these farkers.

Anyways Josh is my old college roommate and is a hell of a guy. Lots of good stories from Syracuse.

If it was capitalized, I would say that it is a person, thing, or feeling that is most like the city Ath, a Belgian municipality. The use would be akin to "most Parisian".

On the other hand you'll get to share an eternity in paradise with Fred Phelps and his WBC-cronies. Isn't that a thought that warms your heart?

I'll be off to the Pure Lands then

My sister has the retard. She still believes in Santa - and is a Catholic, no matter how little she actually understands the Bible much less how unholy believing in Santa is much less liking him based on greedy intentions is amoral according to Christianity. However, people's prejudice about the retarded allows her to fleece them all of the time. It is beautiful.

Given most of the fundamentalist Christians I've ever met, a much more lucrative business would be offering to deliver "I Told You So!" messages.

For a prepaid fee post-rapture I'll visit the departed-fundy's friends and say things like "See!! Billy TOLD you he was going to get a platinum mansion on Jesus' block with endless free PPV and you didn't believe him! Now who's the moron, moran?"

 
AnyName 2009-05-17 09:01:24 AM

Anyone else think the seventy people who signed up are also clever atheists? People like this are why I claim to be a diagnostic.

"Jesus Pets"

"Imagine being taken to streets of gold while your dog starves to death walking around in his own feces trapped in your small house or apartment, subject to fire and earthquakes or even being eaten by heathens searching for any remaining morsel of food. Do you want that to happen?"

"Your pet in a salad with fresh edamame

THIS.

To misspell the word is to say something about your very ability to deal with the concept, seeing as it's just adding an "a" to "theist"
