There are large quantities of WTF in this story....

Christian salt seller hopes to shake up market

"Retired barber Joe Godlewski says he was inspired by television chefs who repeatedly recommended kosher salt in recipes.

"I said, 'What the heck's the matter with Christian salt?'" Godlewski said, sipping a beer in the living room of his home in unincorporated Cresaptown, a western Maryland mountain community.

By next week, his trademarked Blessed Christians Salt will be available at http://www.memphi.net, the Web site of Memphis, Tenn.-based seasonings manufacturer Ingredients Corporation of America."


But wait, there's more.

""The fact is, it helps Christians and Christian charities," he said. "This is about keeping Christianity in front of the public so that it doesn't die. I want to keep Christianity on the table, in the household, however I can do it."

A one-time Catholic who now holds Bible studies in his home, Godlewski is a longtime entrepreneur. In 1998, he founded a kielbasa sausage business now run by a nephew. In 2000, he introduced the Stretch & Catch, a fishing gizmo that he says was copied and buried by foreign competitors.

If the salt takes off, Godlewski plans an entire line of Christian-branded foods, including rye bread, bagels and pickles."


Pictures of the packaging are here. Who the hell designed the packaging anyway, Hugues de Payens???

I'm surprised he isn't also doing matzohs and challah.

If you surf around memphi.net they talk about using Kosher spices. Isn't that what he's trying to avoid.

The website does not specify who blessed the blessed christian salt...

This is about keeping Christianity in front of the public so that it doesn't die.

Wow, I did not realize that Christianity was so much in danger of being extinct!

(If I didn't have many respected friends who call themselves Christians, I'd be saying "What can I do to help it off the cliff?")

"This is about keeping Christianity in front of the public so that it doesn't die."

So much for his faith in the promises of Jesus to be with us till the end of the world, and that the gates of hell will never triumph against the church.

Poor guy just likes Jewish deli foods, but doesn't want to contribute to the growth of the Zionist conspiracy to create a one-world government/religion and slaughter all the True Believers(tm). Not that he's anti-Semitic. He loves Jesus, after all. He just doesn't like all the rest of the Jews, the ones who control the world's money supply, is all.

Wow... for some reason, this made me think of all those wacko "spiritual warriors" who were doing all the ooga-booga to try to get Sarah Palin elected. If they start using this stuff in their "spiritual warfare", I'm gonna laugh from here to doomsday.
