As a reminder of baptism, Catholic Christians dip their fingers in the holy water and make the sign of the cross when entering the church. ... This use of holy water and making a sign of the cross when entering a church reflects a renewal of baptism, a cleansing of venial sin, as well as providing protection against evil
FWIW I have never seen Holy Water promoted as a cure all.

You have become a one trick pony .
Unrelenting criticism toward Christians even in the absence of any criticism of your atheism.
Past time for you to pick some new subjects.
If it's powerful enough to protect against evil and cleanse venial sins, it should be powerful enough to use against a virus. Seems like there is an opportunity to better market the faith here.Keyser Soze said:From mr googleTexasScientist said:I'm just pointing out nonsense and irrationality.

This is a forum on religion and politics. There have been threads on here critical of atheism. A good thing about this forum is you don't have to read what someone posts.

It's not possible to prevent transmission living in a transient global world with open air travel. Unless you become an isolationist country, and even then it may not be possible to prevent transmission. Emergent zoonotic diseases need to be prevented where they arise, by eliminating the animal marketing disease breeding grounds and conditions that promote such diseases.quash said:jupiter said:Nice try,but this happened under Trump's watch.

Yeah, WTI being down 30% due to Russia and KSA starting an oil price crash party isn't helping things.
Mr. Treehorn treats objects like women, man.
Just remember things like this when you see the Democrats making this political. They literally take the opposite of what Trump does no matter what. Before they were against him calling him racist, now they say he's not doing enough. These people are truly insane and more dangerous than Russia or any virus right now
