I know the whole drinking game that's 'played' here. I know that we tried to counter it with ***drinks coffee*** or tea etc...
Why not ***$$$*** in reference to add money to the collection plate every time a ridiculous question is asked of us?

GUI...I really like the **pray** one also!

Yeah, we better not drink because we would be fast drunk with all the stupid questions.
***PRAY*** would get on their nerves though... then maybe they will stop

How nice of you. Let's not forget that many Diocese in the USA are bankrupt because of the skyrocketing legal cost of all the pedophile priests victims law suits.
Also the new and innovative ways chosen by evangelists like Ted Haggard are expensive. The meth and male hookers cost an arm and a leg these days.
So keep the money flowing dear...

It's sarcastic and could be taken the wrong way. They think that Christians are all about money, and a comment like that would reinforce this in their mind that money is all Christians are after.
I'd stay away from it, they have enough fuel. Instead, let's pass out soft drinks or fruit juice. Better yet, how about living wine!!

That reminds me of the story of the three clergymen who got together and talked about how they got paid.
The Catholic priest said, "I draw a line on the ground, and then I take the collection plate and throw it up into the air. What lands on the right side of the line is God's, and what lands on the left side is mine."
The Lutheran pastor said, "I do something similar! I draw a circle on the ground and throw all the collection money up into the air. What lands inside the circle is God's, and what lands outside the circle is mine."
The Jewish Rabbi said, "I do something similar to both of you. I throw all the money up in the air....and what He wants, He keeps."
Thank you, I'll be here all night. Don't forget to tip your waitresses!

May I inquire as to what qualifies as a "ridiculous question"? Is that like asking you to explain why we have an appendix if God created us??

In response to searcher... you've got the extremists in here that would use ANYTHING we say in the context of affirming our faith to manipulate against us. It's their sport.
I like the premise, however. That is what you call going from lemons to lemonade!!! Add more to the Kingdom!!
Be Blessed!

Money huh. That would certainly fit into the evangelical agenda.

I'm not a Christian, may I butt in? I think it's really an immature reaction at all.
