I had an encounter with one outside of a store, who was apparently asking for "donations" as well. I was in horrible rush and when he approached me with the Jesus-jabber, I quickly interrupted him and said " Yeah, man...Just gimme the tract." I had a lot of shit to do that day.
He shut up, gave me the tract and I started to walk into the store. Then I heard "That's it? You're not gonna give?"
I looked down an the piece of paper and it was about the church's outreach program to homeless, drug-addicted, former-prostitute, battered veteran amputees or whatever. I said "Look, man. You didn't say anything about donations. All you did was invite me to church."
"Yeah, but we have this ministry...."
"All I've got is my bank card."
"So, what'd you take the tract for?" (Somewhat loud and attitude-nal)
"You want it back? Here. Take it!"
"No, you keep it. And have yourself a blessed day." (very condescending, shitty tone)
Then I said "Yeah....you, too." I flashed him a fake smile and tossed it in the waste bin, right in front of him.
Oddly enough, I was actually still a believer when that transpired. Go figure.
