Oops.

No "oops" at all: the claim was "any religion of your choosing". Hindus and even some Eastern Orthodox do indeed drink holy water (or even bathe in it), and while Roman Catholics and Anglicans will drink water from "miraculous" springs, it is technically not holy water. The ancient rite for the blessing of holy water in Christianity starts with the purest available water, not just any water, and it is fairly common practice to keep it in vessels of precious metals which themselves are cleaned thoroughly daily (the most extreme version of this I've encountered was at a very "high church" Lutheran church which had a small community who kept the canonical hours of prayer, and at every one of those prayer gatherings the sterling silver container for holy water was scrubbed with 'blessed' salt before being refilled).

What it comes down to is that in some religions, the glass on the right could indeed be considered holy water, but in others it wouldn't come close to qualifying.

BTW, I once visited a Roman Catholic hospital where the head priest was also an MD. After consultation with his bishop, he'd designed and made his own version of a holy water dispenser, which used an activated carbon filter. He argued that if we were asking God to bless a batch of water and impart spiritual power to it, it behooved us as faithful servants to present as pure a batch of water as we could contrive.

Heh.

But I will note you took my comment out of context. In mathematics, 2+2=4 is true only under the right conditions; one example of such a condition is that zero must be absolute, not arbitrary. In fact it's an exercise for advanced students of mathematics to have to prove that 2+2=4 (something done generally using equations from Fermat, who reportedly also assembled a proof that 2+2=5, given the right conditions [Fermat left several statements about proofs which he never wrote down, e.g. Fermat's Last Theorem]).

Yes...I can only imagine what the response to this would be if your bank called you in to discuss problems with your checkbook

It's a no-flame zone, an ivory tower with a one-way gate where angels dance on the heads of pins and where any accusation of hate-mongering toward the usual suspects, if it were to be said, would be better left unsaid.

Did you know that more atheists than religious people regularly post in the Religion Forum?

And that we regularly manage to conduct civil conversations?

This thread is 2/3's enjoyable..............the other 1/3 is a total bore, because some pathetic "believer(s)" needs to constantly defend a simple minded fantasy.

2 + 2 doesn't always equal 4, as any cook (or scientist) worth his salt will tell you. Combine 2 cups of water with 2 cups of alcohol and the resulting mixture will be approximately 3.84 cups due to the diminution of the molecular interstices of the two substances in the chemical combination.

If 2 cups of water with 2 cups of alcohol means that the resulting mixture will be approximately 3.84 cups due to the diminution of the molecular interstices of the two substances in the chemical combination is good enough for Jesus, it's good enough for me.

I think it's amusing when people try to speak with authority about sciences they really have little or no knowledge of...
