And now, for some idiocy!

First up: He doesn't eat Kosher salt! He's not Jewish! He needs Christian salt! Where do I even begin to enumerate the things wrong with this picture?

Next: Revelations is so passé. We need a new, multicultural prediction for the end of the world! This one just makes me giggle. How many times in the last two thousand-odd years have people predicted the world was going to end? And how many times has it ended? A bit of historical perspective, here, people!

The salt thing....seriously, the way people think sometimes just really makes my brain hurt.

Really, the second thing made my brain hurt too!! I especially loved the little countdown :-P

It only has to end once...

True. Call me crazy, but I tend to think it will happen in a way that nobody predicted. Basically, I don't believe in apocalyptic prophecies. The odds of them being right have not yet improved enough for me to take notice.

As Doctor Manhattan said to Ozymandias - "Nothing ever ends."

At least, not until the actual destruction of the species. :)

(shrug) After the next planetary disaster, life will rise again. Maybe the ones after us will get it right. (We really ought to leave them some useful history for them on the Moon or something. I mean, do we really want the only record of humanity capable of surviving a massive comet strike to be the name of Richard Nixon?)

What I mean to say it, that would spell the end of the world for us.

Anything else - nuclear war, global warming, economic collapse, pandemic, etc. - is just going to be a historical hiccup when it comes to the species. Cultures will fall but humanity will continue.

"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."

If anyone ever needs a perfect example of someone with religious privilege who has NO IDEA that he has it? Look no further. I'm baffled.

Yep. The guy's in MEMPHIS. He probably attends the 2:00 service at Fort God because it gives him lots of time to go fishing in the morning.

I know, right? He lives in a city with a church so large it has multiple entrances on several major streets, its own baseball & soccer fields, and an associated seminary. Which part of that makes him think Christianity is disappearing? Dang.

Maybe he believes the schlock about how Christianity is disappearing everywhere but here in the Incredible Bible Belt.

Someone needs to tell him that maybe the reason the rest of the world is fed up with [certain aspects or representations of] Christianity is BECAUSE of [some of] the Christians in the Incredible Bible Belt. For example, the idiocy that is a Christian alternative to kosher salt!

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.

That tells me more about this guy than it doesn't.

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

Screw this guy. I'm sticking with my pagan pickles.
