Someone claimed that a charity shop refused to sell them a Bible because it would be ‘discriminatory’ – 17 sceptical reactions
The common advice ‘don’t believe everything you read on the internet’ could soon be replaced with ‘don’t believe anything you read on the internet’, such is the level of misinformation and propaganda around at the moment, especially on Twitter.
A recent claim by Twitter user Victoria has been met with a healthy dollop of scepticism on the platform. Let’s have a look at what she said.
Hmmm. Chinny reckon? We can’t say it didn’t happen, but a lot of people were less than convinced.

Why would you walk into a charity shop to buy a bible? Didn’t you try a bookshop instead or are you just lying to stir up shit online?

The Red Cross is not a religious organisation. Its entire ethos is to be inclusive, regardless of faith.

Why wouldn’t they sell it if they had it in the shop? This seems like those hate mongering tweets!! Did you see any bibles in the window before you walked in? If they had them on display why wouldn’t they sell them?! If they didn’t have them why ask them for something that’s not…

Why would you do that? Sounds like a good story that didn’t happen.
Just wait until you use Google and discover Amazon shopping.
It will blow your mind.
