    Both my coworker and I have already received our tips with our paychecks, and we obviously have to pay income tax on them. Returning the money to her at this point is literally impossible since we don’t actually have all the money.

    Fucking up and making it other peoples problem is peak Christianity.

    Her bill came to $40, to which she added a $300 tip and wrote on the receipt “in case you don’t rise on the 8th.”

    What a condescending cunt.

      Honestly, if they are both that dense to believe that a well-known and well established astronomical phenomena is heralding the end of the world as it hasn’t for millennia of this happening and that insulting that you would only give a major tip when you believed that the recipient wouldn’t be able to enjoy it then they most assuredly deserved the loss.

        And frequent. Supposedly every 18 months or so, there’s an eclipse visible from somewhere.

        It looks like there won’t be another so convenient to me any time this century, although in 21 years maybe I’ll be retired in Florida to see that one

    I have fantasized for a while now (over a decade) about fabricating a rapture, reporting and evidence enough to convince those who believe in raptures.

    Why? I suspect any Christian expecting to be raptured would have their attitude improved by facing the notion they don’t actually qualify for God’s elite club and eventually coming to terms with this reality.

    Either they’d strive to do better, or they’d join the rest of us renegades.

    Of course, for me, my journey towards naturalism was most terrifying coming to terms not just with mortality but with the insignificance of my species (which is already careening towards our great filter). These are the revelations that religions try to allow their followers to avoid. Tens of thousands of sects all claiming to be God’s true chosen.
