you can buy some church time for an atheist, here.

Maybe someone can clue me in about eBay, a subject about which I know little. There aren't really people willing to pay $255 and counting to send this guy to church, are there? These bids were just made by people who are going to skip out when it's time to collect, right? I just refuse to believe that anyone would spend that kind of cash on sending someone else to church. I've never bought or sold anything on eBay, but I know a guy who tried to sell something stupid like this, and while a bunch of people placed bids, all the bids turned out to be bogus. I realize that eBay is a multibillion-dollar industry, but it just seems like a house of cards to me, and items like this add to that perception.

Think about it this way MDS, if you belong to a religion that judges you based on the number of people you convert and you are a busy and well-compensated person, $255 per soul sounds like a bargain compared to the amount of time you'd have to spend talking a non-believer into joining your faith.

MDS, Paul just sold a frickin Mark Belling bobblehead doll for $167.00. It's like 8 ounces of plastic shaped like the ugliest man I can think of. $167.00. People will pay big bucks for dumb stuff.

It'd take more than a ten spot to get me in the door of a church. $40 per service maybe. All the promises of open-mindedness and behavior goes for me, too. Cash only.
