Jesus toasters selling brisklyBy Steve Walsh, CNN (CNN)–From telephone poles, to store receipts to a cheesy snack, people have claimed to see the image of Jesus Christ in all sorts of unconventional places. Others have drawn divine inspiration from what they believe is the face of the Son of God on their morning toast. A miracle? Perhaps. Or maybe it’s just toast. This holiday season, Galen Dively, a Vermont entrepreneur, is capitalizing on the hunger for Jesus crust. For $31.95, you don’t have to wait for a miracle to see Jesus on your daily bread. Look no further than the Jesus Toaster. Dively’s company, Burnt Impressions, also offers toasters that imprint images of the Virgin Mary, peace signs and pot leaves among others. Dively tells CNN affiliate WCAX right now, he’s selling 50 to 100 Jesus toasters every day. What do you think? All in good fun? Marketing gone amok? Leave your comments below. |

The Jesus toaster will look great next to my Yahweh blender. It creates smoothies out of nothing.
Have you discovered the secret recipe to Chuck Smith Chimichangas yet?
Is it sacreligious to butter his back side?
Why not, christians do it in church every sunday.
Is it Bin Ladin? Funny :-).
Can't wait for one to catch on fire and burn someones house down. Divine intervention?
Yo check it, Church's Chicken takes EBT cards now, I be there on the first now fo sho
I usually start the day with a bowl of Count Chocula cereal, which I do not think would go well with Jesus toast. That's not breakfast - that's an Anne Rice novel.
Count Chocula is the devil. Until you add milk of course, then he's delicious.
HaHaHaHaHa I love these comments
and Jesus loves you, Jason. Just not the comments that mock him. 🙁
I love these comments
lame ass story!
lame
Lame...I'll be impressed when Tim Tebow shows up on my toast!!!
that's pretty damn funny...!
So would I
Mmmmmmmm.....sacrelicious!!!!
When Aunt Bea was running against Howard Sprague for the City Council post, her motto was " if the people want it, they shall have it". I think this is very appropriate for the situation. If people think it's ok, it'll be ok, but there will be those that will anticipate immediate divine retribution. Always been that way and always will be. I remember things that were sinful that are now commonplace
It's always good to hear Aunt Bea's take on things.
Crust Almighty!!
How does the toaster guy know what Jesus looked like?
Everyone knows what Jesus looked like. Everyone who is a true Christian, that is. He was white, about 6'2" with a brown beard. In my mind, he resembles a cross between Ashton Kutcher and Ryan Gosling. Chuck Smith says he surfed, but I disagree. I think he was more of a wake-boarding guy, myself.
I don't eat toast or go to church.
you and me both....they both seem like a waste of time
he walked on water, his face shows up on toast. you create your own gods.
Open those toasters and check if the wires had been molded with that picture that is what I think! besides that it is a hoax!
You think so? They sure can't get anything by you.
One of the sharp knives in the drawer.
why didn't I think of that!!! you sure?
Interesting, but I'm looking for something more blasphemous.
How about the Virgin Mary Crock Pot?
Mohammad's Tasty Pork Loin Special?
I know Sally Heming's great grandaughter and she says Thomas was a Christian. Her grandmother found Christ in his loins.
Thanks. That made me laugh uncontrollably.
Then my work here is done. 🙂
Still clueless. Do some research for a change. The Jefferson Bible still exists. Don't extend your embarassment.
“I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.”
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Hopkinson, 3/13/1789
“Among the sayings and discourses imputed to him [Jesus] by his biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others again of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism, and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same being.”
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Short, 4/13/1820
Observer- dude, seriously. I impersonated Mary Fields after she wrote the first two posts, which worked b/c she hasnt been back much. She is seriously an idiot. I think she only made one response afterwards to call me out for being a troll. Hope I made you laugh 🙂
@Observer- and I actually hold a degree in history from UCLA and know all about the Jefferson Bible and the deistic faith of most of our country's founders. But thanks for the quote. Cheers!
Talk about an idiot. I'm not a believer. Jesus Christ, I can't believe how easy it is to get people riled up. If you thought you were so intelligent, how come you were so easily fooled by my original posts? Glad to see that degree is working out for you, champ. You're a winner.
Oh, and thanks for making an attempt to clean up your atrocious grammar.
Oh shut up. You're not really Mary Fields. I am Mary Fields.
