Get a load of this:
"Bart Centre, a retired retail executive from New Hampshire who now writes a blog called the Atheist Camel, has started a business called Eternal Earth-Bound Pets USA, "the next best thing to pet salvation in a Post Rapture World."
For $135 paid via PayPal, Centre will give you a certificate good for 10 years that guarantees that if you get called up to heaven in a rapture, an atheist animal rescuer will come to your home within 24 hours and adopt the pet you've left behind.
Centre said he started the business with a partner, an atheist police officer from Minnesota who prefers to remain anonymous.
He said most of the response he's gotten has been from atheists. About 8,000 have offered to be rescuers, though he's only accepted 44 for the job. You have to pass a criminal background check and a credit check, Centre said.
As a guarantee that you won't be taken away in a rapture and will be available to rescue pets, you also have to blaspheme the Holy Ghost, Centre said.
"Then we're good to go," he said.
Centre said he has gotten e-mails from Christians saying they won't need his services because their pets are spending eternity with them. Other emailers have said they wouldn't trust their pets to his rescuers.
Centre, who has two dogs, suggests that wary Christian pet owners could assign post-Judgment Day power of attorney to a friend who won't be caught up in a rapture, a trustworthy Jew or Hindu, for example, who could sue Centre if he doesn't hold up his end of the bargain.
Centre said has he has 257 customers in 26 states, and business is picking up thanks to the Camping prophecy. He said most of his clients come from the Bible Belt, but he said eight are in Minnesota."

SCAM! because it says if your raptured up to heaven, they come to get your animal. If you get killed by a bus your animal is on its own, they pocket the cash. As I said scam, yet probably lawful.

OK the pets are taken care of. I will offer to pick all your Tesla coils, caps, MOT’s, IC’s, test equipment for free. Just give me a call and will load them up as someone needs to take care of the important coilers items indeed! Do not want anyone stress they left their coils behind! Parts are us, Dr. Spark
I second that sentiment.
Who will tend to my machines, nurture them and give them the TLC that they require after I'm gone?
