    Its a bit like the story of how "my uncle's cousin" was working at a sawmill.

    One day...zzzzt... he cut off his finger!

    When he came back they said, how did it happen?

    He said, I was just holding it like this and...zzzt! off went another finger!

    Try asking them whether or not chemicals that can potentially cause spontaneous miscarriages or birth defects should get banned. Turns out they're much bigger on slut-shaming than actually stopping fetuses from dying.

    Yeah, so did I - that's why I shared it. The OP should've made it clear it wasn't my personal story

    So in other words- you have no idea whether this is a true story or not.

    I found it entitled 'a true atheist story', I reposted it word-for-word.

    So in other words- once again- the title of the thread- the title you provided- you have no idea whether it is true or not.

    But you had no problem titling it " A true Athiest" story.

    I may be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure you're supposed to link to/cite the original source if you re-post something here. Otherwise it's plagiarism.

    I think these glurges are amazingly funny, only that some people try to pass them off as their own story.

    True. The Catholic church had quite a racket going on with indulgences, didn't they? :lol:

    - - - Updated - - -

    I'd place as much faith in that story as in a creationist book or youtube video.

    You really cant tell its a phony story, and that the manner of your presentation was dishonest?
