Hmmm, what can I buy today on E Bay?
Note: He did not sell his soul....In a way, he actually bought it, if that makes sense.
But what I really want to know, is who is cruising E Bay, looking for "Souls"?
March 9) A few weeks ago, Hemant Mehta posted an unusual item for sale on eBay: a chance to save his soul.
Auction Oddities
DePaul University graduate student promised the winner that for each $10 of the final bid, he would attend an hour of church services. The 23-year-old Mr. Mehta is an atheist, but he says he suspected he had been missing out on something.
"Perhaps being around a group of people who will show me 'the way' could do what no one else has done before," Mr. Mehta wrote in his eBay sales pitch. "This is possibly the best chance anyone has of changing me."
Evangelists bid, eager to save a sinner. Atheists bid, hoping to keep Mr. Mehta in their fold. When the auction stopped on Feb. 3 after 41 bids, the buyer was Jim Henderson, a former evangelical minister from Seattle, whose $504 bid prevailed
