Is it me or this a really cheesy way to "witness for Christ"?

You can buy 100 of these fake wallets for $10.00 and leave them around. When the person opens it they see a bunch of fake money and credit cards, then when you open it again it reveals a tract. I think I would be so pissed at the subterfuge I would go Buddhist :)

The Wallet unfolds twice to reveal the text

PERSONALITY ANALYSIS

1. If this was a real wallet, packed with real money, would you: A. Keep it? B. Take it to the police? C. Give some of the money to the poor?

2. You have been underpaid for years. There’s a BIG mistake in your paycheck to your advantage, would you: A. Tell the boss? B. Keep quiet? C. Give some to a church?

3. If telling a white lie would save a friend’s job, would you: A. Tell the truth? B. Act dumb? C. Lie?

4. Do you consider yourself to be a "good" person? A. Yes. B. No.

5. Have you ever told a lie for any reason (including "fibs" and "white" lies--be honest)? A. Yes. B. No.

6. Have you ever stolen something--irrespective of its value (listen to your conscience)? A. Yes. B. No.

7. Would you consider a person who admits that they are a liar and a thief, to be a "good" person?

8. Who do you think will enter Heaven? A. Those who say they are good when they are not? B. Liars and thieves? C. Those whom God has forgiven and cleansed of sin?

9. Did you realize that the Bible warns that thieves, liars, fornicators (those who have had sex out of marriage), idolaters (those who create a god to suit themselves), adulterers, and the covetous (the greedy), will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven?

10. Did you also realize that the Bible says that if you look with lust, you commit adultery in your heart? On Judgment Day every sin you have ever committed (even secret sins) will come out as evidence of your guilt. When you stand before your holy Creator on Judgment Day, will you be innocent or guilty of breaking His Commandments? Will you go to Heaven or Hell (there is no such place as Purgatory)? Please, let go of your self-righteousness (saying that you are good when you are not). Instead put your faith in Jesus Christ. He suffered and died on the Cross, taking the punishment for all of your sins. God loves you so much He sent His Son to die in your place. Then Jesus rose from the dead and defeated death. If you will repent and trust Him, God will forgive your sins and give you everlasting life. Death will lose its sting! Nothing is as important as your eternal salvation, so pray something like this right now (you may not have tomorrow): "Dear God, I have sinned against you. I now turn from all sin and trust Jesus Christ alone as my Lord and Savior. I will read Your Word daily and obey what I read. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen."

I'd call it ineffective and insulting.

those talibornagains think they're so clever!

She told me she really fucking hated it when the fundies tracts disguised as money for her tip.

That would drive me nuts!

david

why she wasn't in church.

Do you suppose these idiots ever think about how many people they drive away from their religion with this crap?

before all men
That all may see your good works
And glorify your Father in heaven.

The best "witnesses" for Christ-or for any faith, for that matter- don't say a word about their prophet. Instead they LIVE the teachings.

turned the other cheek...I'd fucking smack 'em again.

hahahahahaha

which is a rant site for those in the restaurant industry, there's a story about two waitresses talking about the worst tippers, and one of them says, "Christians are," and that shocks the other one (who's very devout), and she leaves in tears after hearing from the more experienced waitress the garbages the conservative ones pull with little notes, etc. and goes and talks to her pastor about it (who also didn't know about stuff like that) who then dedicated a sermon to tipping properly and rendering onto Caesar and all that, and if any of his parishioners do that, they're depriving people of their income.
