yes, these are real and can be bought at your local christian bookstore. on the website it says

"A new spin on the traditional pocket coin - Faith Chips are not just designed to carry around as a personal reminder - but rather as an ultra cool mini tract to hand out. Because poker is so popular right now, the design of the chip creates a curiosity about the message. It's really no different than using something ordinary, like a T-shirt, to share the Gospel. The authentic look and feel of the chips will make it likely that people will hang onto them and ponder the meaning of the messages!"

[ok, can't bite my tongue anymore]

hey, if tshirts have been so effective in saving people, why shouldn't poker chips be given an equal share of the limelight?

oh, i wish it was actually a joke.
the thing i fear the most is that my youth will start carrying them around and believe they're actually helping draw society to Christ....

the best is "jesus knows how to hold 'em". not only is is the end all argument to the armenianist debate, but more importantly this company is telling us all what a great poker player jesus really is.
