A few weeks back, while I was on my shift at Starbucks, one of my customers ordered a drink made with non-fat milk. I asked if she wanted whipped cream on it, and she said, "Sure - I'm going to hell anyway."
When I handed her her drink, I also gave her a GOOHF card, and told her "...a little bit of whipped cream won't matter - you've got a free pass."
She read the card - twice - and then started laughing uncontrollably.
Now, whenever she comes in, if she asks for whipped cream (about once every third or fourth visit), she says that she isn't worried about going to hell anymore - we took care of that for her.

As a response to Brian (unknown location) and stereotyping, here's an atheist's view of religious PC:
There was quite a controversy recently (2005, I think - time blurs these days) about the cross in the official seal of the city of Los Angeles. Apparently this somehow violated the separation of church and state.
As an atheist I say "B_llsh*t!" LA was founded as a mission, California was settled by missionaries, and the Christian religion plays a large role in the HISTORY of California, as well as of El Pueblo de Nuestra Senora Reina de los Angeles sobre el Rio Porciuncula (the full name of Los Angeles - roughly translates to the city of our lady queen of the angels, plus some fluff about a river).
The establishment clause says congress shall make no law regarding the establishment of a religion. It certainly does not say the role of religion in U.S. history shall be ignored.
Brian doesn't say whether he's religious or not, but I'm with him - I'm opposed to those who want to force their beliefs (even if they agree with me) on others.
