Do people really fall for this crap?

Wow that's pathetic

Sounds like something you'd get on eBay.

*pisses in bottled water*

Get your holy water right here! Note the yellow glow! That's the spirits at work!

Yes and the nasty aftertaste is the eeeeeevil being drawn out of you!

Fascinating. Well ... not really.

All water is of the earth and, thus, all water is "holy".

Christians are goofy.

Buddhists believe that when you die, you'll be reincarnated into a cow or other type animal. It is for this reason that the eating of meat is forbidden. If you eat a cheeseburger, or any type of meat, you may go to hell. Eating cheeseburgers is an American pastime which can hardly be helped. Next time you eat one, drink some Holy Spring Water™ just to be safe.


What a subtle attempt at advertising.. HAHAHA :D

[edit] - Oh, and read the table on "recommended water intake" in the Christianity section. :D

I'm sorry to say that yes, that level of stupidity does exist.

This reminds me of the time when the Church would sell indulgences that would more or less guarantee ones entry into heaven. And I’m sure we all know what happened shortly after that.

I can NOT believe that this is real. Who would have ads like that on their site?

No, shrimp wrapped in bacon is NOT kosher, even at a Bar Mitzvah!
But it goes well with our springwater. Wash away your thirst and your guilt with Holy Spring Water™

That doesn't quite sound like a religious site. :p

It's people making money off the naive,
so yeah I'd probably call it a religious site.

i will write to the pope. he must proclaim the creators of this site "holymen" :)

Anyways, i haven't seen a moronic site like this in years. And be shure that people fall for that kind of stuff ;)

LOL- This is the fucknig funniest thing I've seen in a long time... lol, in the christian section! LOL. I guess all of us men are now the epitomy of evil...

Oh, and I guess Mel is definitely going to hell...

Try placing an order.

it is for this, that the world is doomed to stupidity. it not that there are no smart people out there, it just looks the the dumb people are winning :headbang:

Creating the Movie "the Passion of Christ" One Million Bottles!

somwone wants some money :D :D :D :D :D

I just got done eating my suicide hot wings, and could sure go for some holy spring water right about now. Being as it is Sunday and football is on.

What makes you think a majority of people of faith would fall for this? It's offensive as hell! It's also a joke.

You people are truly naive if you didn't realize that it was a joke.

I should start filling bottles with toilet water and selling them... I'm sure the surrounding uber-Christian community would... drink it up. ;)

*Begins to play game of 'Hunt the Sarcasm'*

Oh, I'm sure all of the people didn't notice it was a complete fraud, and I'm fairly sure that the thread poster didn't realise

*Did you find it yet? Come on, you can do it!*

Wow, it's comforting to know that fellow human beings out there think that just because I am religious I must have the IQ of a fly. Any half-brain analysis of the situation leads to some pretty good conclusions about this being a scam. First, only Catholics believe in Holy water as far as Christians are concerned, and any Catholic who’s been through enough religious education to believe in holy water also knows that it's sacrilegious to use it for any other purpose other than blessing. Two, Catholics also know there's a whole lot more to forgiveness of sins than holy water- namely a sacrament or an indulgence, which require a whole subset of things I won't get into here. Finally, Catholics have Purgatory and Protestants believe that once you have full faith in Jesus you're saved, so this don't really apply. And to the person that mentioned indulgences before, just because people tried selling them doesn't mean that it was valid or condoned.

The people who suggest you have an IQ of a fly do so because you put your faith in an unconfirmable historic past found in The Book. It doesn't actually mean you have the IQ of a fly, it just means they don't share your views and, in this case, aren't incredibly articulate. ANd we all know its a scam. The vein of sarcasm and irony just runs very deep on this forum

It's really disturbing that some people apparently didn't realise this site was a fairly elaborate joke.
I mean, it's not like it was that subtle.
C'mon, folks, do you not watch "The Simpsons"?
Or "South Park"?
Or any satire at all?
Maybe this is what happens when you ban religious education in schools. Kids know so little about one of the major factors in the direction that societies take that they don't know a spoof when it's poured down their throats at $20 a bottle.
So angry! SO ANGRY!


And . . . relax!

Repeat after me, friends and neighbors....

P-A-R-O-D-Y :p
