I love stories like this. First there was rapture insurance. Now it turns out three sisters have been paying for immaculate conception coverage since 2000, and now the underwriting firm has revoked the policy. What's wrong, Britishinsurance.com? Afraid of paying for the Christ child's care and feeding?
"The people were concerned about having sufficient funds if they immaculately conceived. It was for caring and bringing up the Christ," said a spokesman for the company.
What's more, they were going to put it all on the girls to prove they had really, truly concieved the Savior. You say he's the Christ? Let's see some miracles, then, or no payout on the policy.
The burden of proof that it was Christ had rested with the women. ... The siblings had paid £100 annually since 2000. If they had secured a payout, they stood to receive £1m. He added: "The Catholic Church is up in arms about what we've been doing. We have withdrawn the cover because it was causing a furore."
