Got Christ? No Cash.

It seems that the burden of raising Christ cannot be met by an insurer. You may think these women are crazy, but I bet Mary wishes she had a £1m policy back in 0 AD!

Insurers have withdrawn the cover on their virginity taken out by three sisters in the event of the second coming of Christ.

Essex-based Britishinsurance.com confirmed it had provided the £1m policy, but said it was reviewed on Thursday following complaints.

The firm said the women from Inverness had renewed the policy since 2000.

The cover was meant to pay for the cost of bringing up Christ if one of them conceived immaculately.

Britishinsurance.com managing director Simon Burgess said it had not been the company's intention to offend anyone.

Tell God he can shove the Apocalypse where the sun don't shine.

They should pull their apocalypse insurance policy too... if the day of judgement really does come in a few years, there will be a long line of people in hell waiting to collect.

Didn't God ask Mary last time around? So couldn't they just, I don't know, say "no"?

I suppose if you are an insurance company and people are willing to pay you to insure against something, then why not.


I'll start selling UFO Landing, Black Hole, Super Nova, Time-Space Collapse, Demonic Possession, and Apocalypse insurance... Could make some money.

Hehehe, that policy made me laugh. In a good way.

I don't understand why it should provoke complaints from anyone, though.
Christians: It shows they have considerable faith, and ensures that Jesus Reincarnate will be raised with more than sufficient funds.
Everyone, including atheists: The insurance premiums are going to charity (jolly decent of the insurer, I think).

Everyone's a winner! Or was :(
