Secret Christian Working at eBay! GLORY! -
01-16-2014, 04:18 AM
THIS story gave Jesus and I the giggles today when we read it. Apparently there's a secret Christian planted within the bowels of the godless eBay corporation. Apparently a certain monkey worshiping atheist keeps getting their godmocking ad taken down.
Quote:
Holy War Breaks Out Between eBay and an Atheist Over Quirky ‘Church’ Post — and Now One Party Is Apologizing
A holy war recently broke out between eBay and a South Carolina atheist who claims an ad she posted was repeatedly removed from the popular consumer website.
Eve Brannon, president of Upstate Atheists, a secular charity group, posted a quirky offer on New Year’s Eve titled “Take an Atheist Leader to Church.”
Inviting church leaders to very literally bid on her time, Brannon attempted to auction off her attendance at a church service and pledged to donate the monies earned to a charity devoted to helping the homeless.
“Your bid is for me and my 4-year-old daughter. She must be able to stay with me at all times. We will attend any church on a Sunday morning,” the ad read, in part. “We will listen to the sermon and I agree to be acknowledged as a guest. I will speak to members of the congregation if you wish and what led me to the path I chose.”
Brannon went on in the ad to say that she’s perfectly comfortable answering questions for the highest bidder’s congregation — and that she will be “respectful to all members of the church.”
The message was initially placed under eBay’s “Everything Else > Weird Stuff > Slightly Unusual” section, The Huffington Post reported.
Despite following the website’s parameters for posting, Brannon told TheBlaze that the ad was repeatedly removed.
“I received an email stating that I broke a policy. I had to change the ad to take out that the money was going to charity,” she explained. “I revised the ad and removed the part that spoke about where the funds would be going. I got another email saying it was breaking the policy.”
Again, it was removed. And this time, Brannon said something interesting happened.
“Instead of showing the typical ‘item has been removed’ page, the link I was using to share the ad was being redirected to very specific search results for a Christian Rock CD,” she explained.
Attempting to get to the bottom of why the removals kept happening, she spoke with an eBay employee who told her to move the ad to the “Services” category and, after she made some tweaks, he reportedly told her it looked good.
Problem solved — or so she thought. Again, the ad was removed.
“All that they’ve said is that it’s an accident, but it happened three times so it’s not very believable,” Brannon said. “We were raising money to provide heat and water to a homeless community.”
In an email statement to TheBlaze, eBay said that the removal was accidental and apologized.
“eBay has outlined clear polices for our sellers and works vigilantly to ensure responsible use of our marketplace. In situations when unusual or high-profile listings come to our attention, we review them to ensure they comply with policies and work with sellers to list them appropriately,” the statement read. “When a listing is erroneously removed in this process, we work just as hard to make amends and restore the listing in a timely manner.”
It continued, “In this case, the listing was removed in error. We apologize for the inconvenience and have offered assistance to the seller to relist.”
The atheist leader doesn’t plan to post the ad again, though, noting that the preachers and people of faith who were bidding are frustrated with the repeated removals. So, she’s looking for an alternative venue to host a fundraiser.
Brannon and her group made headlines last October when the atheists were turned away from volunteering at a Christian soup kitchen in South Carolina.

Now that right there is some funny stuff!
I trust these incidents show that Jesus-hating heathen that God is always at work to keep this kind of buggery out of his churches and away from His children.
Quote:
Revelation 19:2 (1611 King James Bible)
For true and righteous are his iudgements, for hee hath iudged the great whore which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath auenged the blood of his seruants at her hand.

I Kings 7:23
And he made a moulten Sea, ten cubites from the one brim to the other: it was round all about, & his height was fiue cubits: and a line of thirtie cubites did compasse it round about.
New here? Desiring to be pleasing in the eyes of The Lord and His Followers?
Then do as directed by our esteemed Pastors and head on over to the Introductions subforum and make your first post there, friend. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus. Anything else you want to share with us about how Jesus has blessed you is welcomed too.
Are you a hater of God that believes He is a morally bankrupt monster? Read Why, you ask, is God so angry? to see that it is in fact you that is the monster that mercilessly and infinitely torments God.
Stop this relentless torturing of God and accept Jesus today!

I can't imagine that any church in its right mind would give any money to this panhandler to visit their church and tell them what they are doing wrong. If it was that easy then EVERY church would be offering money to the uninitiated to get them inside their doors.
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

I suppose the atheist forgot to include a "Burn Now!" option.
Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

First they get used to haggling with satan for their soul, then they think they can do the same with a CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
I guess all the bids were from perverts who noticed the 4 year old daughter. Disgusting.
PRAY TO JESUS!

It is just and correct that Christians should have agents working under cover in opposition to the work of the Devil. It is also a sad sign of the times we live in that it is necessary to hide our true intentions; namely, service to the Lord God.
Once, this was a Christian nation and it was the Devil's people who were made to do their evil work on the sly. Sadly, the Devil's people have gathered great power in the land and Christians are in danger.
Only a few years ago, we were able to do God's work openly, even when we directly opposed the Devil's people in their lairs. Prostitutes, thieves, lay abouts and other Democrats were tarred and feathered and driven out of town, if they were lucky. Now they are given authority over the land.
It is a disgrace.
The Lord must be very angry. In His wroth, He could easily destroy America in a thrice. I believe He knows there are many Christians here still, fighting His fight and doing His work. Only that has saved this country from destruction.
In the End (which is near, BTW) His will be done on Earth, as it is in Heaven.

Deuteronomy 4:30-31
When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
(For the LORD thy God is a merciful God; ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Remain obedient and let HIS will be done, not yours. For who is to judge when to render final judgment upon this earth?
Less haste more speed. HE will destroy sinners and even satan and his hellish troop.
Revelation 20:14
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
It is only our duty to abide by HIS law until such time as HE finds pleasant o massacre the billions of unbelievers and then cast the whole lot in lake of fire.
PRAISE THE LORD!

You are so right, Brother Nobar! Giving handouts to the undeserving poor only encourages them to sit around all day doing nothing but drinking, smoking, fornicating and having abortions, instead of looking for a job. And let's not forget the children, who may grow up thinking that welfare checks and food stamps fall from the sky like manna from Heaven!
The immortal Ebeneezer Scrooge tried to warn us of this in 1843 when - confronted by the homeless - he famously said, "Are there no prisons? Are there no workhouses?"
I only wish that Ebeneezer was around to see all the progress that my company has made on this front. Thanks to a new public-private partnership between the Texas Prison Authority and the Uranus Corporation, we have recently constructed a large number of family housing units to get the homeless off the streets.
Family housing
Each tent comfortably houses eight persons, which allows whole families to stay together. The inmates - we prefer to call them "associates" - are given the option of pleading guilty to vagrancy and resisting arrest charges in exchange for food. Furthermore, we make sure that everyone has a job.
Happy dads providing for their families
Happy moms marching to work at Wal-Mart
We haven't forgotten the children either. While mom and dad are busy earning a living, the kids participate in a unique home schooling program where they learn from each other, while having fun!
Kids enjoying the spacious playground facilities
Of course, after a few months, we recruit them into a work-study program where they can learn a useful job skill.
Young interns learn the recycling business
In short, so-called atheist "charity" is simply Marxism which hurts the poor, while free-market public-private partnerships enforced with a little Homeland Security™ tough-love is creating a paradise on earth for all Americans. Our nation's founding fathers like Ayn Rand and Ronald Reagan must be looking down from Heaven with a broad smile on their faces!
And God bless our anonymous Christian mole at eBay (who is also an NSA-Uranus employee) for his small contribution by preventing atheists from promoting Godless communism under the guise of "helping the poor" with their liberal handouts. When you consider all the harm they do, I just don't understand how these libtards sleep at night.
Praise Jesus!
