Blasphomy eggs with a side of going to hell toast

Wingnuts come in all shape and shape and sizes, and they need to eat breakfast too.  While at a swapmeet (aka-flea market if you are from Northern California), I saw this gem:


You can use this to make an egg in the form of the Holy Cross.  I guess you could also use it to make Holy Cross pancakes as well.

My intention is NOT to launch into a discussion about religion.  I once had a manager that told me: "opinions on religion and politics are like assholes...everyone has one, I don't want to hear about yours."  What I want to know is: which group is buying this, and why.

mmm...Oscar Wilde
Is it the super religious person?  Do they want to be so close to God, that they want to ingest religious icons?  Do these people also have Jesus Christ waffle irons?  I get being passionate about your beliefs, but don't you think it has gone to far when you want to eat it?  Let's just take religion out of the equation.  Let's say you are very passionate about the literary works of Oscar Wilde.  I can't imagine that someone would want to eat him.  Not to say that a Oscar Wilde omelet wouldn't be delicious, especially with Dorian Gray sauce.

Is it the anti-religion people or people from other religions that are "haters"?  As odd as this may seem, these two groups would be a dream to market this too.  I can see that infomercial now (que the dream sequence)..."How dare you claim that you are agnostic, when your kitchen utensils are the same as everyone else! How dare you preach that the other religions are evil overlords trying to repress the truth, when you are eating the same eggs as the infidels! Well, your worries are over...with the religious icon breakfast set.  Now you can enjoy a little blasphemy in the morning!  Hate the Christians? Bite into a Cross Over-Easy.  Want to stand out as a upraising member of the Agnostic Front? Order the whole set and enjoy starting your day with a hearty breakfast off ALL the religions! Order now and we will include the Baby Bullet for freeeeeee!!!!"
