Although this trips a few ethical flags for me (should we be taking advantage of the deluded?) I kind of love it. It makes me wonder if there are other services

  It's only an service for a tiny subset of fundamentalists. While all dispensational premillenialists and members of the small Millerite sect are fundamentalists, not all fundamentalists are advocates of Millerism. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millerism

    If you want to link it probably would have been better to use http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapture Miller was a date setter, but not an advocate of the traditional fundamentalist 'rapture'. He was waiting for the second coming which would have been very public and would have taken the righteous up to heaven before Armageddon/judgement.

      I'd grant that to the extent that the modern followers of Harold Camping, et. al. are not Millerites, but Camping and his contemporary date-setters are definitely influenced by Miller.

        And all are deeply influenced by The Crazy.

  Well... technically, they are being up front about the fact that they don't believe in the rapture. They're saying they don't think it's going to happen, but if it does happen, they will be legally obligated to keep care of the pets. In many ways, this is not much different than insurance.
