KFC had an interesting post about the Rapture and leaving and that gave me a rather interesting thought. If we accept the fact (temporarily) that the Rapture is going to happen, and the “train” comes for you to get aboard, you look at the magnificent train and then look back at the red and black billowing clouds and those left behind.

Man B thinks that stealing is wrong and that informing her of her mistake is the right thing to do. Question: Is it better to...
