Do you believe that holy water has magical properties?

Russian priests spray holy water from plane to stop 'alcohol use' and 'fornication'

Priests tipped the water out from a large chalice in an attempt to heal those suffering from alcoholism and drug addiction. A married couple that claims the husband was miraculously cured of alcoholism also was on the flight.

Father Alexander, one of the priests, said the ritual is designed to stop the use of "alcohol," "drugs" and to "stop fornication."

So what do you think? Do you believe “holy water“ has magical properties?

Are there other religious items that have magical powers? What would those objects be?

I tried it. I couldn't have sex so I started drinking again.

Well, it actually kinda depends on the depth of the belief that holy water works. Sometimes, if a person believes in something enough, for that person, it appears to work.

Doctors sometimes do a similar thing with the placebo effect.

No.

Didn't the priest in the Exorcist use it on the possessed girl?

 

[ABikerSailor]

You can also use it to burn demons. Supernatural taught us that.

The water didn't heal him. His faith healed him.

Probably far more properties than all that incense, crystals, unicorns, those stupid "God's Eye" thingies made out of yarn and sticks, pot, herbs, candles, Harry Potter books, Mother Gaia, dancing naked around a fire when the moon is full, tarot cards, Wiccan rituals, polyamory, festivus trees, feminism, nudism, gender confusion, and body-mutilation you liberals worship.

I tried it to repel both Dems and Repubs on this board, all it did was get my monitor wet though for some strange reason I could no longer connect to porn sites...... Not that I ever went there before......., too often.........




Is twice a day too often?

Holy water also burns vampires-they forgot that.

No, but then I'm not part of the orthodox church, so it does not matter what I think.

But there is a point to this! St Francis of Assisi held sermons to birds. We all must respect other creatures.

Yes. Holy water has magical properties. It will not exorcise you by itself, but is a good preventative medicine.
