The eBay Atheist: Soul for Sale

Imagine, if you will, an atheist auctioning off his soul on eBay (and I thought grilled cheese was weird). A self-proclaimed atheist gentleman, Hemant Mehta, did just this. But, it's not as odd as it might first appear.

Jim Henderson, of Off-the-Map.org, won the bid and instead of requesting that Hemant spend 1 hour in a church service for every $10 paid in an attempt to convert him, as was the original deal listed on the auction page, they negotiated a new arrangement. Read about it here.

The bottom line is that Hemant will attend various church services of Henderson's choosing and report on his blog his experiences, opinions, questions, and other notions regarding each.

This is fascinating. A true human experiment. New believers, church-planters, and mature Christians alike may find this man's perspective worth pondering.

The comments alone are worth the price of admission, which, of course, is free.
