LINK Catholic Bishop Will Spray Holy Water from Helicopter Over City to Defeat Devil | Hemant Mehta | Friendly Atheist | Patheos

A Catholic bishop, full of ideas, will borrow a helicopter and spray his city with holy water on July 14 in order to cleanse it from all the demons.

This is nto a new idea. This kind of thing has been done before.

Holy water probably isn't externally sourced at all, probably right from the tap or commercial bottled water? Because if it was sourced widely from single locations . . . . man could a lot of problems be solved at once from that spot.

Holy water and a dollar will get you four quarters every time.

About 20 years ago, I had a water bottling company make me a few skids of DI water in half liter bottles for mineral free water for tests that I was doing. For liability purposes, they had a 3rd party test all private label water that they contracted to put in bottles. They were really upset that they had to make a solution of nonoxynol 9 to soak their tanks for nine hours after bottling a truckload of "holy water" that they bottled for places that don't have priests. I suspect I know why women can't be priests and I don't it is urine they they put in the "holy water".

He's just looking for a helicopter ride...

As a catholic bishop must surely be holy, all he needs
to do is piss his holy water out of the helicopter window to
"piss off" that nasty devil chap.

Will those idiotic acts ever stop?

I doubt it, not while there are dollars to be made ( sorry, collected ) from the willing Dupes that follow their preachings it won't.

It's a great business idea. I'm going to buy a helicopter and pay people to provide the urine.

You only need spray over churches.

The copter will now become a "Halo-copter".

D'oh

"Has your demon been exorcised without your consent? A beloved vampire injured by holy water? Then you might have a claim against the Catholic church? Call 5557843 devil's advocate no win no fee NOW!"

LMAO...

Dude, I've got MAJOR burns all over my skull, shoulders and back 'cause some jackass thought it would be cool to sprinkle pixie dust, er Holy Water, from a helicopter like he was crop dusting his corn fields.

What's that number again?!

I can't believe it took the Catholic Church 80 years from the time the helicopter was invented to come up with that brilliant idea!

They need to do it at night so they will kill all the vampires too.

Wouldnt it be easier to bless the water source where the city gets its water? Take a shower in holy water, now your protected. Sprinkle you lawn. Spray the walls.

What's with the dumb and dangerous helicoptering. Guess its the visual rather than the actual benefit.

I am afraid at soem poitn they may decide to bottle and sell holy water.

The drinking water is too subtle. It's much more dramatic from a noisy beast in the sky. It's in their dna to have it come down from the heavens.

@snytiger6 Aren't they doing that already? Read it somewhere.

@snytiger6 too late

@LenHazell53 ha that's hilarious! Salvation for less than a $100? Sold!

@snytiger6 I was at a plant that bottled water on contract. A sample would be sent to a lab, and the lab would say if it could be bottled and assigned the proper method of cleaning the system after. While my skids were being processed, the other system was being cleaned a hole day after bottling water for places without priests. They did an approximately 5000 gallon load which is like a gas semi load.

Anyone ever notice that the religious get bizarre like this rather than blame Democrats? This holds true unless you are Evangelical.

Great idea. This will teach that old Devil.

1

Definitely not a new idea, Sny, the article is from 2019.

Oops. I think when I checked the date, I only got as far as the month and say.

@snytiger6 Happens to everyone.

You've got to kidding, Spraying a WHOLE city with 'Priest Piss,' aka Holy Water, like that's going to do any good except to give the pigeons a quick shower.

Correction more likely diluted priest semen.

@Fartwink More likely aan even mix of both?

3

Seems legit. I'll back it if it puts out a riot fire.

2

Sure, and the fork and the spoon will jump over the moon!

3

This is going to work! It's so stupid Satan will never see it coming.

3

Maybe he get lucky and put a fire with it. That way he is not wasting his time.

Delusional

"Delusional, " I'd say 110% certifiable at the very least.

And when the pandemic and crime continues?

When acts as this fail, it is because those who had the most to benefit were either not strong enough, were just enough, but dog is giving them more time to make a better effort, or the evil of the area is too strong, too many gays, too much, abortion, or prayer is not allowed in schools.

@dalefvictor in other words, more bullshit.

Think of the cost for the fuel used in that helicopter, and the salary paid to the pilot, and how that money could have been used to feed a hungry child or family. Instead it is wasted on a futile gesture that has no value and does nothing.

@creative51 You are right. What was I thinking? 🤔 😅

Good luck with that.
