Stop being horrible, you insane religious people. D:

Okay, okay, I was willing to laugh at this whole 'world ends on Saturday' crap, until a news story today. One of the insane people who actually believes that is having his pets put to sleep today. Because, you know, the world is ending tomorrow.

D: D: D:

At least the guy says "that he intends to wait until the earthquakes hit Denver before he starts killing his pets" so maybe, maybe he actually means that.

This guy has serious mental problems, someone should be looking into getting him some help.

Initial stupid behind, if he were actually serious about his religion he'd know damn well that animals don't have souls and can't get into the place the supposed rapture tomorrow is going to take him.

Of course, he probably doesn't know that, because he believes that something not mundane is going to happen tomorrow.

... those poor pets. I'm going to hug my kitties when I get home today.

I thought the point of the rapture was that everyone got killed anyway, only the righteous ones got saved and the rest didn't. So what's the, for lack of a better word, reasoning behind killing the pets in advance?

In other words: this is one of the most insane things I've ever heard.

And people wonder why I hate insane religion believers. Leave the poor animals out of it! There are people willing to take care of and love your pets after the Rapture! (http://www.aftertherapturepetcare.com/)

I did not even though Saturday was supposed to be "doomsday" until I managed get into the internet news site this morning. People are crazy.

This is ridiculous, and I am actually slightly angered - which does not happen easily due to a rumor.

I'm having a picnic on Saturday. This should be good. Perhaps we'll camp a church.

Oh, for crying in the mud... Yeah, we've been joking about this whole stupid rapture thing since we heard about it, but that's just depressing. People are retarded and make me sick. Way to ruin something otherwise amusing there, buddy! Boo.

I haven't found a source for it yet, but a comment on Google News's article about how the world didn't end (http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/22/rapture-harold-camping-end-world) said:

the guy who was going to euthanise his pets - well he he handed them over to the custody of the authorities, rather than spending his last few hours on this earth in jail, even though he presumably knew he'd have been pulled right out of his cell and into heaven.
