....here's christian salt:

CRESAPTOWN, Md. - You've heard of kosher salt? Now there's a Christian
variety.

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.

It's sea salt that's been blessed by an Episcopal priest, ICA President
Damon S. Arney said Wednesday. He said the company also hopes to market the
salt through Christian bookstores and as a fundraising tool for religious
groups.

Arney and Godlewski, 73, said a share of the proceeds will be donated to
Christian charities, but neither would specify a percentage.

I think this is hilarious. Obviously, there's no "Jewish" salt. Kosher
salt is used to make meat kosher. So, if I use this new salt, will it
make my meat "Christian"? Do I have to take it to church?

They spelled "cellar" wrong, as in "salt cellar".

Yep, a product by the ignorant, for the ignorant. Clearly they have both
no idea what kosher(ing) salt is nor any clue about cooking.

Wherever it is, there will the church be. Wherever it wanders, there
will the church be. It takes but a pinch to spread sanctity (or
sanctimoniousness) far and wide. It has a red cross on the box, fer
chrissake, Dan.

Bbbbbut he's selling salt, not holding it at the table. And anyhow it
beats the story my dad sent to me once from his local paper describing
items missing from a "chester drawers" after a burglary.

That's a real tragedy. How many of Chester's drawers were stolen, and
were they boxers or briefs?
