A US firm is selling 'Holy Water' - purified tap water sold with 10 different Christian labels.
The Virgin Mary bottle has the Hail Mary prayer printed on the back in English and Spanish.
Founder Elicko Taieb said: "It helps you stay focused, believe in yourself and believe in God." His company, Spiritual Water, donates a portion of its profits to charity.

OMG.
that’s pretty pathetic…and so is anyone who buys into that lameass marketing idea.
oh…it is funny to think some people actually believe in holy water…
You comment people are coming across as a bunch of humorless humbugs here. I can imagine these bottles of water selling mainly to twenty-somethings as a novelty item. It’s not a threat.
And if you’re coming at this with a vendetta against religion, then I’d argue you should get a kick out of this company diluting the church’s original intent by repurposing it to shill products.
If I were going to complain, I guess I’d like to see a larger portion of the profits go to charity; 25% or more, rather than 10. But whatever. It’s funny, and it helps hungry kids with AIDS.
Well i would hope for that shit to turn into wine while i’m drinking it.
Be smart and use your brain for a second rather than just typing whatever comes out.
This isn’t holy water, that’s just the title the blog admin gave it. It’s water with religious images and they’re not marketing it to cure people, it’s just who would like the image of God in all forms of their day to day.
Think of it as Power Rangers or Barbie lunch boxes. You didn’t have them as kids because you thought they’d make you into the character or give you some of their powers. You just liked the characters so you got it. Similar concept. You love God, you buy music about God, you buy water with God on it. No holy powers, just another image of something you like and believe in. (it’s made by a company, people know this).
Thank you for equating God with Barbie and Power Rangers. Seriously, thank you. That’s exactly how I feel about God. Fictional cartoonish character.
knowing jesus hated using religion to make money…this is crap…almost as bad as those stupid “my boss is a jewish carpenter bumper” stickers….
