It was a company check.

Blatant self-promotion... It's the equivalent of saying "I'm a TRUE christian." Unlike all those other tolerant not TRUE christians...

If it were on a company check, I'd call the CEO of that company and inform them that somebody in their payroll department is using their job as a platform for proselytizing. Let them decide whether to do anything about it. I know at most of my jobs I've worked in previously, the person who did it would be severely reprimanded. It's not considered appropriate behavior to imply that Company X is all of one particular religion, because it excludes those members of the company (and shareholders - never forget them!) who are not of that religion. Most CEOs would have a big problem with that, because if it got around that somebody was making indirect claims that Company X was a Christian company, they might lose shareholders who are not Christian, or who ARE Christian but who don't agree with exclusionary business practices.
so, in short, Bettie - I'd call the company and send them a photocopy of the check.

Maybe it was the last of an installment payment and it was his sentiment.He has every right to express it in whatever way he sees fit.It caused no harm and who knows maybe the person or company got a good laugh and made their day seems reasonable to me.

If it was a personal check, he's within his right to write what he wants in the Memo section.
If it was a company check, it would be considered inappropriate unless he was the owner/chairman/pres.
Some people are just jolly by nature, it could be worse.

i don't think it would have been bad if they hadn't all capped christ.
my sister and i got into a discussion about yule vs christmas. she was kind of upset that i wouldn't agree with her that people shouldn't put xmas instead of christmas.
actually i don't care one way or the other. i just find it amusing that some people get so heated. i've been saying happy yule to her since...lol

Why not? I think he/she/they were just being cheerful. It does no harm, as you say. If someone were to write some bible quote or "Jesus loves you" or something like that I might get a little miffed. Or just roll my eyes. But hey, as long as the check doesn't bounce, I can deal.

Now if they cursed or something.
God Bless

If you accept the check as part of your job, it may be fun to write, "there is no god, happy Xmas" on the receipt.

I don't know why people do that crap. I work in Accounts Payable and get bills all the time with scripture printed at the bottom. I think it's some kind of code that says, "hey, i'm a christian, buy stuff from me." it's a lame way to pander to clients

Totally inappropriate. How would a christian feel if they got a check signed with a wiccan symbol?
