That would be ironic if you took freedomfromfallacy's suggestion to steal the money and keep it for yourself.
An atheist pretending to be a priest taking money from parishioners under false pretenses, (fraud) gets robbed by an atheist pretending to put money into the collection bowl which they in turn had stolen from their elderly grandmother.
Nice atheist morality! Well done team.
I suspect a lot of sarcasm and irony was involved in that statement, not an actual suggestion.
I would suggest putting something other than money on the plate, however.
Personally I'd openly refuse to put anything on the plate.
I definitely wouldn't actually steal the money, that would be well, yeah, very ironic, haha. I could try putting something anti-religion in the plate, that'd be brilliant. As much as i'd love to refuse, I just KNOW my grandmother is hyper-sensitive, which is why I never really oppose to anything. She'll go to ridiculous extremes in her reaction to something like that.
