**AITA for Telling My Neighbor to Stop Pretending the Aurora Borealis Was a Sign From God?**

AITA for telling my neighbor to stop pretending the aurora borealis was a sign from God?

Look, I get it. The geomagnetic storm this week was fire. Literally. The Northern Lights were visible as far south as Alabama, which is basically the universe’s way of saying “congrats, you finally got a view that isn’t a Waffle House parking lot.”

But my boomer neighbor, Karen (yes, actually named Karen), posted a 15-slide Instagram gallery captioned “God’s promise written in the sky” with a bunch of flame emojis and a link to her church’s donation page. Meanwhile, the actual science is: CME (coronal mass ejection) + magnetosphere = pretty sky. Not a divine fax machine.

I commented “Uh, that’s just solar wind hitting Earth’s magnetic field, but okay 💀” and she reported me for hate speech.

So Reddit, AITA for ruining her celestial grift? TL;DR: Karen thinks space weather is a miracle, I’m apparently a particle-physics terrorist.
