  • Greatest idea EVER! Not only is this totally what Jesus would probably do, but I bet each and every thank you card really dug at the WBC members! I think this is the approach I'll take the next time they come to my community!

  • WBC really is a perfect example of how the church has fallen. If Jesus came back today the one thing he would not be is a Christian. Good for him for taking the high road!

  • These people give Christians a bad name. I wish they could see the error of their ways :( At least they donated to a good cause, though. There is an upside to the whole thing.

  • Nicely done.

  • Yelling back gets nothing accomplished, & the religious ppl actually like to annoy people. Go figure.
    You have the most intelligent way of making their negativity produce something positive.
    Yes, we should ALL do this - donate to the causes the religious people hate. BRAVO!
