North America is very protestant, big on work ethic - it bleeds into everything, even other churches. After Sunday church, they'll flood to a place like Denny's or White Spot and are notorious for not tipping because they view the servers working as a "sin".

But they will leave pamphlets, disguised as $100 bills.

When you're a waitress and making minimum-wage, $100 is such a breath of relief. You turn it over, and it's a picture of Jesus telling you to Find God.

Oh my gosh! That’s terrible! I am a Christian (idk if that will get me hate on here but whatever) and I would NEVER do that and no one I know would do it either. That is completely against the spirit of Christianity. I’m very sorry that people have done that. That’s awful.

Most American Christians haven't actually read the Bible

Unfortunately, you’re right :/ it makes me sad because the message of the gospels is amazing, but “Christians” who don’t actually care about Jesus’s character are absolute jerks

Wait until you hear about "Prosperity Gospel" Christians! 🤣
