Jesus saves. And doesn't have car payments.

Those have been around for a long time.  I would never use one.

Yea, those Christians are bad people.

Just like the Islamists who enslave little girls and behead unbelievers or the post modern materialists who crush the heads of unborn babies and sell their body parts for profit.

Nasty heartless Christians.

There is one thing to drop it on a sidewalk to be picked up later, another to leave as a tip.

[vaskidmark]

Person not only stiffed the young man of a tip* ** but has given proselytizers everywhere an even worse name than they already have.

stay safe.

* - fast food place with table service falls into those eateries where a tip is expected

** - the whole concept of tips and tipping is worth its own screed

Yep, if I were one of the 'Freedom from Religeon*' aholes, this would be the perfect thing to leave as a tip.

*The militant atheists who sue for public displays of religeon Christianity.

I've seen this story originating from a different city every 6 months to a year, with all the associated outrage.

It's a shitty thing to do. Those people should be told that they shouldn't be eating at a restaurant, because Manna will sustain them.

Aside from any discussion about generosity, perhaps if there was a real $20 bill folded inside it would have a better effect.

Of course, the person who does it might just be cheap and looking for an excuse to not leave a tip.

I like one of the comments on the story, go to that church and drop it in the collection plate. 

[MechAg94]

Reading the comments brings another couple thoughts.  Even if 999 people are great people, it only takes one jerk to make the whole group look bad.  All the atheists seem to have their examples of some jerk they knew or met that represents all Christians in their mind.  Also, it is important to know that Christians are witnessing for Christ at all times even when they don't know it.  It is up to us to live a Christian life and set a good example.

I did ask my girlfriend if I would go to hell if I dropped one of those fake money tracts into the collection plate at her uncle's church 

[roo_ster]

If this is not bogus, "tip" leaver needs some wall-to-wall counseling with the church elders.

I could easily believe it is real, though.   Oh, the tract is real enough, but the conflation of the circumstances is overly cute.

Here is a post about the ethics of doing this sort of thing and what to do if your Christian buddy does such a thing.

(Spoiler: Most popular answer is to go back, apologize for your friend's behavior, and provide a lavish tip.)

Were I to start leaving tracts about, I would order a pallet full of random Jack Chick tracts and leave them with good tips, among other places.

My wife steals re-purposes my older wool socks and hands them out wrapped up with a tract inside to crazy street people.  (Not Jack Chick despite my urgings.  I keep telling her, "Too many words.").  She was about to run off with my old mil-surp wool blankets, but I put a stop to that.  "What the heck!?"  The old wool socks were a compromise position.  She then bought me knee-high+ wool socks that are supposed to go with hip waders, so all is right with the woolly world.

This ties in to the mountain biking thread. He wasn't a Christian *expletive deleted*che, he was just a *expletive deleted*che.

But what if he was a mountain biking Christian *expletive deleted*che?

It depends on if he has a man bun or not.

[roo_ster]

Throw him off the mountain for his eternal reward after dousing him with a vinegar & water solution?

Okay, maybe not:
Rom12:19: "Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."
Even for the douches.

Yeah, I think someone is just using this as an excuse to be cheap without feeling guilty about it.  People in general can be very good at justifying their own behavior. 

As one of the comments said, a non-Christian is going to be a LOT more receptive to a Christian message when a little generosity is included which is the whole point of leaving Bible quotes lying around.  They would be a lot more likely to even read it in the first place.

Yeah; waitstaff should definitely clean up their ranks.

[Scout26]

  She was about to run off with my old mil-surp wool blankets, but I put a stop to that. 

That's grounds for divorce in 43 states.

Unfortunately quite real. I live in a fairly conservative area with plenty of old people, so all my friends that have been wait staff have gotten bitten at least once. It's not as common as elderly folks on Sunday tipping strictly loose change, but it happens at least every couple months. Folks also sometimes leave non-deceptive tracts as 'tips' as well.

In my opinion, the fake cash is significantly more insulting than even leaving no tip. I'd really love to know if in such person's heart of heart, if they actually know they're being right bastards. I have no doubts they'd say they were doing it for religious purposes even if you had a gun to their head and were threatening them with 36 hours of Barney on repeat. But do they KNOW the proper level of asinine behavior they've reached? Most Christians I've known think this sort of this is absolutely despicable, obviously.

[Scout26]

Don't rule out the smart-azzed teenager possibility...

[KD5NRH]

That's grounds for divorce in 43 states.

And grounds for a beating in the other 14.

Depends on how seriously her uncle is going to try  to deposit it. 

stay safe.

[Hawkmoon]

Of course, the person who does it might just be cheap sanctimonious and looking for an excuse to not leave a tip.

FIFY

And ...?

Is she still your girlfriend?
