Christian Salt- sold in Bible stores!
March 6, 2009 6:02 AM   Subscribe

Retired barber, Joe Godlewski, markets Christian salt as an alternative to Kosher salt. Joe Godlewski was watching cooking shows, seeing a lot of references to Kosher salt. He wondered "what the heck's the matter with Christian salt?" (So much is the matter- including the fact that salt is Kosher anyway, and other details our Joe seems to miss!) And then he set about marketing it, in a box with a big red cross on the front. A few helpful answers in here- for example, you can market anything if you have the right spin on it. And also, I hadn't known why Kosher salt was kosher- it's because of the texture and the use, not the blessing.

I was raised Catholic, myself, but I still don't understand the Christian persecution complex prevalent in the US. Most of the news items like this make it seem like American Christianity is on the verge of extinction. Over 80% of Americans claim some form of Christianity. I don't get it.

Yeah, there's a real danger people might not look at their money. Or try to shop on Sunday. Or pay any attention at all to things like the recent inauguration. Or say the pledge of allegiance. So basically, anybody completely comatose stands a good chance of not having Christianity shoved in their faces.

Doesn't the Christian persecution complex in the US stem from the fact that the country is founded by pilgrims?

Christians have their bacon. Let the Jews keep their salt!
