      Though in reality, some of them have trouble deciding if they like the ascend into paradise or the punishment of everyone who thought they were idiots more.

      Better to offer a service that promises to demolish raptured people’s former house and belongings so that the heathens, pagans, and satanists can’t get ahold of them. Or rehome/euthanize their pets, depending on their preference.

      Hello, I’d just like to clear up this common misconception. Much like 18 USC § 331, which only targets the fraudulent defacement of coinage, criminal intent is also a requirement to be charged under the applicable criminal code for banknotes, 18 USC § 333. Pressing a penny at the zoo isn’t illegal and neither is what the crazy person did to those banknotes. These codes are intended to prosecute attempts to change the face value of banknotes or remove metal from coinage to sell the scrap and pass off the coins as being their full value.

      18 USC § 331:

      Whoever fraudulently [emphasis added] alters, defaces, mutilates, impairs, diminishes, falsifies, scales, or lightens any of the coins coined at the mints of the United States, or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in actual use or circulation as money within the United States; or

      Whoever fraudulently possesses, passes, utters, publishes, or sells, or attempts to pass, utter, publish, or sell, or brings into the United States, any such coin, knowing the same to be altered, defaced, mutilated, impaired, diminished, falsified, scaled, or lightened—

      Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

      18 USC § 333:

      Whoever mutilates, cuts, defaces, disfigures, or perforates, or unites or cements together, or does any other thing to any bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt issued by any national banking association, or Federal Reserve bank, or the Federal Reserve System, with intent to render such bank bill, draft, note, or other evidence of debt unfit to be reissued, [emphasis added] shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than six months, or both.

    I worked as a teller in the late 90s. Every time I see these kinds of bills, I always pull them out of rotation even tho they are perfectly fine tender.

    Also, money is disgusting.

      Did you do the same with bills stamped for Where’s George?

      I looked it up, and that ‘program’ started in 98, so I’m not sure if there was much overlap with you. And another guy already talked about how stamping bills like this isn’t illegal (not that I disagree with your decision). So I’m just curious how my bills fare when they reach a bank.

        I left in late 98. So ya I saw these all the time. I never understood what they were so I kept them in rotation because it wasn’t as blatant as the other religious stamps.

        I also pulled out defaced bills such as someone drawing a Hitler mustache on Washington. Torn bills also got pulled out.

        There is some paperwork required to turn these things into the reserve. Once you submit them back to the reserves, regardless of if they were truly damaged or defaced, they just trust the teller’s discretion and destroy the bills.

        Honestly I didn’t. But when I became a branch manager, my service manager(teller manager) required everything to get pulled out if it even had anything more than a counterfeit marker line.

    If you don’t repent and believe, the deity who totally loves you will cast you into a lake of fire for eternal suffering.

    It gets worse; they’ve been stamping the back of all bills for over 60 years with some nonsense implying that all US citizens believe in the same monotheistic deity!

      Yes. Originally the end of times was supposed to be only a few years after Jesus’ death.

    Far as I’m aware, the official version is that at the end of times everyone is bodily resurrected so that judgement can take place. The common belief that the soul discorporates and flies off to Disneyland (or the other place) isn’t even canon, let alone this redneck belief in being uploaded into the clouds.
