Bay Area Fellowship is giving away flat-screen televisions, skateboards, Fender guitars, furniture and 15 cars — yes, cars — at its Easter services. As consolation prizes, 15,000 giftbags each contain $300 of free goods and services. (Note: 300 x 15,000 = 4.5 million)
In this interview pastor Bil Cornelius said
We’re going to give some stuff away and say, ‘Imagine how great heaven is going to be if you feel that excited about a car, ... It’s completely free — all you have to do is receive him.
He hopes the prizes will help Bay Area lure some people who don’t normally go to church or those who have lapsed in their faith. “We know it’s unconventional,” he said. “We know some people of faith aren’t going to agree with it.”
Among the 15 cars — all used but with low mileage — are an Audi A4, Jeep, Chevy Aveo, Mazda RX8, Volkswagen Jetta, two BMWs, Chevy Avalanche, Jaguar and two Mitsubishi Eclipses. The A4 is an ’04. It’s turbocharged.
So what do you think?
