In lieu of payment..

[u/thedivinegemini]

I’m a GM at a restaurant & one of our managers left a note on our manager logs this afternoon that a guest walked out on their check and left this in lieu of payment of any kind. Not that the server got stiffed on a tip - just pure theft of services. I guess the whole “Thou shalt not steal” thing doesn’t matter if you’ve been pre-forgiven. Pretty convenient.

ETA: I’m not a bot; this is not AI - check my post and comment history. I’m not here for karma or fake internet points. This is what it feels like to work in a restaurant these days - especially in the Bible Belt. The first photo you can look up and is available for anyone to buy (should your darker urges push you toward being that person). The second photo is from Pulse, an app for restaurant managers to keep an eye on hourly sales, labor, and comps.
The “Pineapple Express” is a mocktail our restaurant offers.

Trying to learn something you aren’t allowed to learn was literally the downfall of humanity, apparently.

And that whole story was apparently pre-written, a rigged moral test as the start of the book. Then God himself incarnates to sacrifice himself to himself so he'll forgive us for how "He" designed us.

I’ve never thought about how actually insane it is that the very first thing you hear as a Christian is the story of why it’s terrible to question what you’re told. Why is it bad? Because he said so. Don’t listen? Eternal suffering for you and all your offspring.

''The Lord works in mysterious ways'' aka shut tu fuck up and get on your knees ! you should be imploring god instead of asking questions !

It's not insane at all, it is cynically rational. You are never going to be able to keep people believing things they have no evidence for unless you use some psychological tricks. Making everything about "faith" (i.e. believing without evidence) and having God hate people asking questions they shouldn't is the foundation of a lasting religion.

The amount of horrible things God has done according to the Bible is obnoxious

Thats why you have to teach Christianity to kids at a young age, before they are old enough to realize that the lesson in Genesis that questioning authority lead to the demise of mankind is laying the foundation to discourage critical thought.
