"What I would really like is for my four legged 6 yr old "baby boy" (135 lb rotti that thinks he's a shitzu) to come with me in the Rapture. I'm not married and have no kids and my love is poured out on him. I can't stand the thought of him being abused or hurt in the Godless society that is going to be ruling the earth in the days after. Just in case he doesn't come with me in the rapture, I have left a note in my ****"LEFT BEHIND PACKAGE"*** for my family to please take care of him (he'd be a great guard dog!!!), and if they aren't able to, then please euthanize him instead of abandoning him."

Just... wow.
DIAF, bitch.
This is assuming, of course, that the rest of your family is not raptured as well. Which, if they aren't, probably means that they're going to end up being a part of that godless society that's going to arise in the Rapture's aftermath (you know, since they're evil and all). If so, would you really want them looking after your dog when you're gone? Do you honestly think they would?
For real, reading this made my head hurt.
clearly the only choice is to just kill you dog now...and then your self...please!
Hey I'll tell you what, pay me $5,000 now and after the Rapture comes and takes you away I will treat him as a king and guard him from all the rest of us godless atheists. Give me $10,000 and I'll get only USDA Prime steak for him to eat.
While I'm glad this person is making arrangements for her pet, in the event that she is not able to take care of him...umm...
Why do we believe rottweilers can't be Raptured again?
then please euthanize him instead of abandoning him.
You know, between the rest of your comment, the fact that you're from RR and then what you think of women's rights, something is seriously wrong here. (Ok, ok, duh I know. But still.)
DV, in twenty years they'll be telling us the rapture will happen tomorrow, and twenty years after that, and then on and on until humanity is either wiped out or these idiots start offing themselves faster.
Right, because when you don't believe in god then you must, necessarily, abuse everyone around you including all the animals. What I cannot understand is how can a person like you function on an everyday basis without collapsing into a heap of despair and anguish. You rapture fundies really are pathetic to the core. Give me that dog right now and I'll give him a better home than you ever could.
A 'left behind package'? so s/he assumes his/her family will be left behind because they aren't good enough christians. yeah, no, you're totally sane, nothing wrong there.
Problem is you can't actually prove them wrong, because the rapture is always tomorrow.
What? This dude never saw the movie? Doesn't he know that "All Dogs go to Heaven"?
But, seriously, a left behind package? There are better things you could be doing with your life...like almost anything non-criminal.
I want to laugh at this, but all I can muster is pity. I mean...seriously. I can't even laugh at someone this deluded. It's just sad. I can't imagine living like that, and really wouldn't even call it "living" when you're just waiting around for the world to end and mourning those who are still alive all around you.
This is sad. So, so sad. I can really see her lying awake nights fretting about what's going to happen to the dog.
And really believing that the godless society = abusing all animal society ... words fail.
What I can't get over is that she'd rather KILL the poor thing than have someone besides her family take care of the dog!!
/wouldn't want any of my family's pets and know none of them could care for my reptiles - So, if I died, I'd want people who love reptiles to take them in...
Revelations 22:14-16:
That's right. In the list of being who can never go to heaven under any circumstances, dogs get the number one spot.
So why do you have such an evil, soulless pet that Jesus personally had to comment on how he's going to burn in hell forever?
> I have left a note in my ****"LEFT BEHIND PACKAGE"*** for my family to please take care of him (he'd be a great guard dog!!!), and if they aren't able to, then please euthanize him instead of abandoning him.
So, it's like "Hi, I'm gone, plz kill my dog"...?
You bastard.
Sorry lady. Society's going to go downhill once you Christians are raptured away. Disease and famine are going to be the rule of the day in a society that will truly be post apocalyptic.
You know as well as I do that people are going to be hungry. We're going to rely on scrapping together whatever we can find to eat. A 135 lb Rottweiler is going to be mighty good eating in those times.
My suggestion, if you love your dog, is that you just give up this whole "Jesus freak" thing so you can take care of him yourself. It's really the only chance he's got. Who knows - maybe you'll get lucky and find out it was all a bunch of bull in the first place and actually make something of your life in the process.
good thing you have Hell-bound family members who you can count on to care for your pet before the deity begins torturing them for all eternity.
but seeing as they are godless heathens who wont be raptured with you, how do you know they wont just rape the dog repeatedly before roasting it alive over hot coals and eating it while it is still twitching?
Let's see here.
1) Worrying more about a dog's well-being than that of your family.
Yeah, so much for moral authority.
I find it rather odd that you're worried about your dog being abused for a finite period of time, yet you don't seem to have any qualms about the idea of your god abusing his 'pets' for all eternity.
What's a good RR Christian woman doing unmarried without kids? Aren't you supposed to be married to a dumb redneck feedlot worker with a rusty mid-80's pickup truck, a faded Allman Brothers T-shirt and a beer belly and have six kids by now? I suppose you still have your own teeth, too. I'm surprised the mods haven't banned you.
No. Bitch, don't tell me RaptureRetards are going to start killing their pets themselves to "protect" them from the godless heathens who would never DARE do such a horrible thing?
Will they do the same to their children? Wait, they do that already, don't they?
I don't think I've ever said this, but these people seriously need to DIAF. Now. Please.
Let's be fair, here. This person believes that after the Rapture, Hell will literally come to Earth and torture everyone left and shit for 1000 years of darkness. In that case, I can totally understand not wanting their dog to go through that.
Most parents would make any sacrifice to make sure their kids have better futures then they do. Rapture Retards would gladly euthanize their own kids if it got them into Heaven faster. Selfish, immoral, and more fucked then a Boston hooker, this is the new Fundamentalist movement.
This sounds like a Poe. Particularly with the euthanization. Then again...It's RaptureReady. So, it's probably 100% fundy.
Lovely. *sacrasm-o-meter commits suicide*
Acorrding to Christianity, though, animals don't have souls, do they? Or is that just something some other nutter wrote somewhere? If not, sounds like Rover is SOL.
Point 1: A shitzu is about as effective a guard dog as a hamster.
Point 2: Being euthanized is actually probably preferable to living with you, anyway, so be kind and just put him down now.
Well, GuidingLight, what you just described about how you feel about your dog is exactly how I feel about my cat. Except that I'm "Godless". And I would never, ever ask for her to be euthanized just because I'm not there any more. I know people who abuse cats are out there (I've certainly taken in my share of abused cats) but I know enough other "Godless" people who can take her in or find her a home if it's necessary. Perhaps you would do well to make friends with an atheist dog lover?
Your one of those idiots who end up on the rottie boards wondering why your "baby" turned on you, or wont listen to you, or bit the neighbour because he's 'protecting' you.
I hate that term "he'd be a great guard dog". You want a good guard dog? Get a spaniel or a terrier, the constant annoying barking will do more to drive away a potential burglar than a Rottweiler that just stands there. And if he does attack someone, even if it is a thief, you've given the breed another black eye.
Okay, but you are saying all this on the assumption that Jesus Christ is going to rapture you.
Let's say hypothetically that the rapture occured and you were the one left behind. Do you and your family agree to take care of each other's pet because of a discussion you all had? Or do you believe that someone will just take care of you animal for you when they find him and the Left Behind Package?
I ask you these questions because:
Just a thought.
Um, so your family isn't going with you? Do they know you've judged that they are not good enough?
If they are capable of caring for him, why wouldn't others? Sounds like society would be okay if a few of the non-raptured could manage a little love for a mutt.
Get over yourself.
This dog is family to you. I get that. My two are family to me (although I'd never denigrate any dog by referring to it as my 'baby'...). However, with this in mind, can you honestly say that you're still happy to believe this crap? Do you really want to follow a religion that tells you your dog (who you consider a family member) is going to be left to suffer in a hellhole because you're good enough for your tyrannical God but he isn't? Will you really be happy in heaven for all eternity, knowing that you left him behind to suffer and your supposedly loving God (who incidentally cares about sparrows, so why not dogs?) was perfectly okay with this?
Sheesh, you people are screwed up.
GuidingLight, have you really thought this through?
Pretend for a second that you're right-you and your fellow True Christians are all going to be whisked away to heaven along with a couple of billion children who were too young to be held accountable for their sins. The Holy Spirit, who, according to you, is the only thing that keeps us godless heathens from slaughtering each other randomly, is going to disappear. Those of us who are left behind are going to be helplessly depraved, pretty much slaughtering each other randomly until the Antichrist comes to power to force us to behave for seven years.
Given all that, and assuming that your family is really going to be left behind, what in the world makes you think they will be any better equipped morally to take care of your dog then I would?
If I'm left behind because I'm a moral degenerate who is now going to be given over to his depravity without the help of the Holy Spirit, doesn't it make sense that your family will be to?
Marc, I just thought of something rather horrific (well, another thing).
You know how the Left Behind books say that kids under 13 (I think) were taken because they were below the age of reason and could not be held accountable, think how many non-saved 13-and-one-week olds were left. Think of all the rebellious teenagers who had rejected their parents' deranged harping on, as teenagers will do. So many kids left without parents.
It really is a vicious and heartless theology. How any of them can talk of "love" is beyond me.
Well, at least she loves her dog. I mean, it's not like she's asking people to murder babies or something, she just loves her dog. A lot.
When you wrote this, you were THIS close to a psychological breakthrough.
If you actually believe in the Rapture scenario, what makes you think you're going to care about your dog--or anything else--when it happens? Isn't Jesus supposed to completely fill you with His truth and His love, to the point that you're not going to want anything or anyone else? If rapture theology is correct, you're not only not going to care in the second following, everything "human" and fallible and even remotely capable of caring about your poor, unsaved family and friends is going to be completely cored out of you. And not only will you not care, you're going to get to watch in triumph along with all the other Real True Christians(TM) as Jesus sends nearly everyone left behind on Earth to an agonized eternity in the Lake of Fire. You're going to completely forget about your dog, your cat, your parents if they weren't "saved," your children if they weren't "saved," your spouse, your friends, everyone and everything, or--better yet --you're going to wholeheartedly agree that they should burn forever for rejecting Jesus. One dog is completely irrelevant.
Does this sound fair to your? Does it sound just? Does it sound even remotely benevolent? If it does, if you can answer "yes" to those questions, then feel free to stop caring about your dog. It's just an animal, and maybe your concern for it is actually impeding your salvation.
If it doesn't...maybe you should let yourself consider the possibility that Rapture theology is as monstrous as it is theologically unsound.
Your dog is 6 years old? Then he's not a "baby boy" but a distinguished older gentleman, stupid.
I have no kids either and I lavish my cats with love. But I don't think they are my babies, they are cats and I love them like that.
If there really is no-one to take care of the dog, then euthanasia might be kinder than to abandon him. But don't assume that just because people don't believe in fairy tales or gods, they won't be kind to animals. Many atheists see animals as just as important to the world as humans, and think that we all have rights. One of those rights is to be treated with respect.
If your Rotweiler is not trained yet, he could be dangerous. Rottweilers are intelligent and strong, and need purpose and stimulation in order to function properly.
Okay, I'm far from being the best Christian in the world, but isn't there a scripture about how in Heaven, the lion will lie next to the lamb? I take that to mean that animals go to heaven.
Also, asking your family to kill your dog just because it didn't go with you to Heaven is just wrong.
All Dogs Go To Heaven .
So I guess you'll be arguing against Mormons being in Ruptured Retards' 'Modern Cults & Religions' section, eh GuidingShite: seeing as that animated film's director Don Bluth is an LDSer.
...or you can abandon the 19th Century heresy that is the (C)Rapture. Enjoy your paradox.
