CMS has an article about an athiest who sold his soul on eBay for a winning bid of $504.
Atheist Hemant Mehta sold his soul on eBay, offering to attend an hour of church for each $10 of the final bid. The auction ended on Feb. 3 after 41 bids. The winner? Former evangelical minister Jim Henderson, founder of Off the Map, with a $504 bid.
Rather than cashing in on 50 hours of Mehta’s church attendance, Henderson flew to Chicago to meet with Mehta in a bar and struck a deal: 10-15 hours of church services and writing about the experience.
“I’m not trying to convert you,” Henderson told Mehta. “You’re going there almost like a critic. If you happen to get converted, that’s off the clock.”
It will be interesting to see what happens in the end.
