We have this in our country, I googled it but didn’t find something like this, just found that Martin Luther had something to do with Indulgences.
So is it true or is just some nice writing and good enough relation to Martin Luther?
Rough Translation:
>In medieval times, priests sold pieces of heaven to people for a hundred coins, and people bought them.
>
> A wise man was frustrated that people were buying them so he found a solution.
>
> He went to a priest and asked, "How much is all of hell?
>
> The priest looked surprised and asked, "Hell?"
>
> "Yes," he said.
>
>The priest without hesitation said: "Fifty coins."
>
>The man gave him the coins and took the certificate.
>
>He went and put it in town square, and said: "I have bought all of hell and I won't let any of you in."
>
>This man was Martin Luther.
