This Sunday’s texts on the end times are so evocative of all the end time moments in our lives, that I forget that some groups take these stories and parables of dislocation as literal description. they forsee a day when Jesus will ride into town on the clouds like some heavenly surfboarder.
That alternate fundamentalist mentality has promoted one atheistic group in the United Kingdom to offer to provide care for pets left behind by Christians when theya re taken up by the rapture. For a minimal donation, they offer the assurance that these pets will be fed and cared for.
Sounds like a reasonable fundraising opportunity.
