A Lawton, Oklahoma, man’s attempt to auction off the body of Jesus ran into a snag when ebay removed the item from auction just minutes ago.The man saved a communion wafer from the last Catholic mass he had attended. "Instead of eating it right then and there, I decided to save it for a later time," he said.
He also happened to watch Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ on the very same day he acquired the consecrated communion wafer. The film filled his head with "numerous ideas."
Threatening to reenact Gibson’s movie if the bidding for the Jesus wafer did not rise to "an appropriate amount," he hastily glued together a couple of popsicle sticks, also gathering three thumbtacks, a needle and a thorny rose stem.
The man said that his motive in auctioning the wafer is to "objectively" determine the value of the Lord Jesus Christ.
By 11:30 this morning, Jesus had attracted only two bids. The high bid was $1.99. By noon, ebay had pulled the listing.

That picture of Mel is downright scary. Who are those poor women? What did they ever do to Jesus?
Those ladies are visibly frightened to be in the baboon-like clutches of Mel.
