Default Scent of Jesus
Quote:
Ever wanted to warm your home with the very scent of Jesus? Well, thanks to a new candle company, apparently now you can. "The Miracle Candle" claims to capture "the overwhelming scent of divinity" and proclaims, "This is the Scent of Jesus." The price of smelling God: just $19.95 ...

Slap the name of Christ on to anything, and sell. The new mantra for aspiring entrepreneurs.

I don't know but the sent of a sweaty carpenter who probably took showers/bath seldomly isn't exactly what I want my house to smell like.

the True Cross today.

I'm a litle curious. Why do you think this kind of marketing is new?

I guess it's not, but as a Christian, it drives me nuts. Jesus junk...

Some more egregious offenders:
  • Virtuous Woman perfume comes packaged with a passage from Proverbs 31.
  • Testamints: Christian breath mints
  • a video game in which you could be Jonah and ride on top of the whale’s spout and collect points by jumping through hoops in the sky. After you get puked up on shore, you stand there smiling, waiting to go on your evangelistic journey
  • Christian Outdoorsman makes camouflage baseball caps with a red cross
  • Gospel Golf Balls "a great golf ball with a greater purpose." Manufactured by Top-Flite, the golf balls are printed with well-known verses from the Bible, such as John 3:16
  • Follow the Son flip-flops have patterned soles that leave the message "Follow Jesus" in the sand.
  • Scripture Candy: an extensive line of candy packaged in little bags printed with Bible verses.

Unfortunately, I live with just such a carpenter. That's my roommate. Feel free to drop by. He showers maybe once, twice a week if I'm lucky.
