Eh . . .
Since this listing (and hence this link) won't last forever, I'm going to cut-and-paste the eBay seller's description of this item:
JESUS SAVED YOU!!!
NOW YOU CAN SAVE JESUS!!!
This is an Auction to save Jesus from being burned on a block of wood.
I don't want to do it but I need the money and I am desperate. I borrowed a ton of money and put all the money I was supposed to use for school this term towards my new business, Sandy eBay Sales.
So the other day I saw Jesus on the wall and I swear to God, He told me that if I put this on eBay, I would see the true power of the Lord. I'm not sure what that meant but I am not kidding.
WARNING!!!I will burn Jesus if my reserve is not met.WARNING!!!
Now I am sure that He would not find it funny if I did burn this, but I don't think you will let that happen. Then again He just may find this funny. I swear to Him that if this works, I may just become a Believer again!
Please don’t think I have anything against Jesus, he just makes a great hostage.
My personal reserve price to save Jesus is the following conditions: 1. All of my student loans repaid in full. 2. All of the start-up costs associated with my business. 3 A Jesus finder’s fee of $6.66, unless you don't like that number, then the finder's fee is 999.99.
I will supply the winning bidder with a bag of burnt ashes and a photo of the act, unless the reserve is met, then the winning bidder can choose weather Jesus gets burned or saved.
Thank you and God Bless you, unless you don't bid, then I will probably see you in hell.
Comments from my previous auction included vulgarity and threats. Please adhere to all eBay Regulations. If you have a question please ask. If you have a comment please refrain from threats or vulgarity.
THIS IS A REAL AUCTION FOR THE ASHES OF THE PLAQUE OF JESUS, IF MY RESERVE IS MET YOU CAN CHOOSE IF JESUS GETS SAVED
Thanks for looking, bid, and help save Jesus!

I'm going to go grab a Biblical concordance and start searching for references to eBay. Obviously, it holds quite a great deal of importance for Christ.

Pascal: The present is never our end. The past and the present are our means, the future alone our end. Thus we never actually live, but hope to live, and since we are always planning how to be happy, it is inevitable that we should never be so.
