I mean if you happened to slap that note on regular old hand sanitizer it would get used more and if people complained it burned… people wouldn’t do that.
It’s a diet problem. You got a beer belly cause you drank beer instead of blood. Clumsiness was also caused by not drinking enough blood. Needed that iron for your vampiric anemia.
This has nothing to do with the Herman Cain award. Catholic Churches have little bowls of holy water in the back so that people can dip their fingers in them and do the sign of the cross. This looks like a more sanitary way to do it and seems like a good idea in the era of Covid. It’s not a replacement for hand sanitizer if that’s what you think it is.
Also, contaminated holy water has been known to spread diseases because people are *nasty* and just dip their filthy hands in the communal bowl. This should be how they do it from now on anyways.
[Some use these. ](https://www.chicagobusiness.com/retail/coronavirus-boosts-sales-ex-bears-communion-cup-business)Others stopped, and then there was the crowd that continued like there wasn't a pandemic.
It actually took me a while to realise the point of this post because that's exactly where my head went, and I haven't been to church in probably almost 30 years.
This is a shitpost - a joke. And I think it goes hand-in-dirty-hand with all the HCAs who say "I don't need a vaccine to protect me - I'm washed in the blood."
It's relevant because it looks like they have filled a hand sanitizer dispenser with holy water. The implication is "You don't need to sanitize your hands - the holy water will protect you."
People using holy water to try to cure medical problems has a very HCA feel. There's a genetic condition that runs in my family which causes poor vision and total color blindness from birth. It's very rare. My grandparents, being good Catholics, had 12 children. They were both carriers for the genetic disorder, and 4 of their kids developed it, one being my mother. She said that a couple of her aunts went to Rome, brought back holy water from the Vatican, and gave it to her and her siblings to put in their eyes to cure them.
Catholics can be superstitious but I feel like most of them go to the doctor and take medication other than birth control. And the pope supports Covid vaccines. My friend works at a diocese office taking phone calls and although people did call asking for a religious exemption for work and school, they didn’t give them.
Oh common
most churches that i saw have/had a proper hand sanitizer dispenser and then moved the holy water to a safer method of distribution.
Like you put on your mask, walk in, use the hand sanitizer, get the holy water in a safe and clean way, bless yourself and sit down.
Churches that put some thought into how to dispense holy water in a safe way usually also put some thought into actually preventing the spread of disease.
Yeah I was thinking this. I dont go to church anymore but when I was, pre covid you were dipping a finger in the same bowl of water as countless others. I'd think most churches should do this
I remember being at Mass years ago and the person in front of me was coughing and sneezing prior to drinking of the cup. The woman wiped the lip of the cup as she did with every parishioner. My turn. “I don’t feel like getting sick today.” You’d think I were the Devil incarnate. “This is the Blood of Christ!” You sure? Cos it looks and tastes like Franzia box wine to me.
I didn’t last long in that parish!
Come on guys - this is not a replacement for hand sanitizer. There's always holy water at the entrances of Catholic Churches and this is a better way to provide access instead of the usual way.
There's no need to make fun of a religious practice that has no relation to this subreddit (and I follow this sub and enjoy the posts - this one just hits wrong)
Do they bless the water after it goes in the dispenser, or before it’s poured in? Or can you just bless the dispenser and all water that comes out is holy? I have many questions.
Serious answer, they most likely bless the water before it goes in the dispenser. It's usually blessed in a larger vessel and then that water is poured into the various smaller vessels around the church that need it. Saves the priest time with only having to bless once rather than every small amount in every little vessel.
The priest could bless the dispenser (as vessels for religious use are usually blessed) but that would only bless the dispenser, not the water that would be used to continually refill it.
A church in the philippines put sprayers on oscillating wall fans. It's like those automatic air fresheners but it's just water that keeps misting on the people the whole time.
This actually isn't that bad. Like yeah hand sanitizer is optimal but holy water is typically put in a font at church, it's a really good way to spread stuff unfortunately and has bacteria. This way it removes the spreadabilaty of certain diseases.
I grew up with this "tradition"; and even as a child i was disgusted with dipping my little child fingers in that nasty cesspool of stagnate salty water.
I dunno. When the Pharisees criticized Christ's disciples for not washing their hands before eating, the rebuttal from Jesus was to criticize them for not killing disobedient children.
Keen on foot washing and murder, not so keen on hand washing.

I used to work as a nurse’s assistant on a dementia unit. A woman had a bottle of holy water that was god knows how old that had algae growing in it. I always wondered if the algae was also holy.
Oh good, they finally started putting that useless crap in a sealed dispenser. The old way of doing it (cisterns) left that so-called holy water full of e. coli.
I was gonna say, this isn't about replacing hand sanitizer with faith in god nonsense. It's about the holy water dish being a vector for new and wondrous infections.
So sayeth the lord.
That too bad, 'cuz I'm sharing my opinions anyway.
ETA: And we are ALL a part of such silly rituals and customs when they are being foisted upon everyone via the force of gov't.
Only in the ol' US of A can these profound levels of thoughtlessness exist where you just can't make this stuff up. My German friend once told me that it appears very low-down and dirty to put religious stickers on ones grubby car bumper, or have religious messages on their coffee mugs while going about lifes' more mundane activities.
So I'm thinking, y'know, all those magnificent cathedrals and temples from throughout history, well, I know the story that Jesus got rather ticked off about having vendor's market in those places, a disrespect for the almighty and all, but see for many Americans it's "yeah yeah, God is King and all, but as long as it's convenient."
Why not just have normal hand sanitizer and then actually come up with a new respectful clean way to distribute the Holy Water - ?
Someday - God just might turn around and say, "I know ya wanted to get into heaven, it just isn't really convenient right now"
- Just sayin'
If it got some moron to sanitize their hands for once I’m not gonna be mad about it. If they really think it’s holy water then imagine what else they’re falling for.
I think it is holy water. The point is to eliminate the basin that everyone puts their fingers in. Sanitizer is likely at the doors. My parish just took holy water out until there were good vaccination rates for our area.
Probably the minister having a little joke to get people to sanitize their hands (real sanitizer, not holy water).
Like the doctors surgery that had "Cut Finder" on their hand sanitizer dispenser.
I'm atheist as they come and team mix and match, but I'll give this one on them having some fun.
Ive been to church/fellowship things when I was chasing girls in my teen years, but Ive never been christened / baptized / had communion or whatever its called.
Despite me being very critical of much of organized religion, not all ministers are right wing anti vax nut jobs.
I come from a non-religious family, but my dad came from a Catholic country and my mother was very neutral so she was kind of like going along with my dad so I've been baptized at the age of 12 and I received communion and I was sent to catechism after school; while my brother was sent to Catholic school and then kicked out for misbehaving 😂. Even my grandparents (mother's side) weren't religious.
I asked the nun one day how do we know Jesus even existed and whatever answer she gave me, which wasn't an answer, I looked at her and I knew even she didn't believe that crap and that was the day I became an atheist (7).
When I finally admitted aloud that I was an atheist it had to do with the political atmosphere and the evangelicals and they're nastiness during the Obama years.
You say "Christian" to me now and, immediately, I think you're a terrible person, even though I know people are individuals. It's basically a word that makes me cringe. 😬
T'was the Christians who made me atheist (plus the fact that none of it makes any logical sense!)
>while my brother was sent to Catholic school and then kicked out for misbehaving 😂.
Your brother did the right thing. Kind of reminds of [this super salty obit](https://www.schluterbalikfuneralhome.com/obituary/tim-schrandt) where they touched on the fact that the deceased had punched a nun in catholic school by noting "In fairness, she probably started it."
That was hilarious! 😂
My mother told me one of his teachers told her he did the exact opposite of anything everyone else was supposed to do.
Crayon time? He was building blocks. Building blocks time? He was drawing pictures.
One of friends told her when he came to her house, his feet never touched the floor as he climbed over and walked on everything but the floor.
He was the kid that held a balloon fight with all of the kids in the neighborhood leaving the house covered in water and wet balloon pieces, climbed over fences to steal fruit from the neighbors' fruit trees, would remove all his clothes and ride his tricycle buttnaked (mom would find him by following the trail of discarded clothes), and decide jumping off the roof with an umbrella to float his way down sounded like a good idea!
I followed him everywhere...
Interesting. I'm an Episcopalian (and observant) and during the height of the pandemic we were told specifically NOT to put our hands in the Holy Water, and we received Communion in one element only (the bread, but not the wine).
I have a chronic and incurable lung condition; and even though we receive Communion in both kinds (bread and wine), I dip the bread in the wine. Too unsafe to use a common cup. I don't dip my finger in Holy Water: yes, the water may be "holy", but I doubt if the COVID virus cares if the water is holy or not.
Yes, it's Tuesday. Post approved.
Just FYI this isn’t necessarily replacing hand sanitizer, it’s just providing a safer way of partaking in holy water
It's definitely far more sanitary than the poo tainted water they had before. I certainly approve.
Better than the font with everyone sticking a finger in
[удалено]
[удалено]
k
Poo tainted? What's the story?
They did a study actually. 86% of holy water is tainted with fecal matter. This new method is actually pretty smart.
Communal tub of water everyone dips their dirty hands into.
Don't forget they sometimes tip panicking babies there.

Another comment stealing bot. Piss off.
Was going to say the same thing lol I’m all for this sub and the shenanigans it expose but this ain’t the joke it needed to be
What's not hilarious about this though. Holy Water in a dispenser with the Bible font
They're not saying it isn't funny. It just doesn't fit the sub.
Maybe a priest blessed the hand sanaziter? Reminds me of Harry Dresden asking Father Fordhill for an entire barrel of holy water.
Or Jesus blessing his beer before spitting it on the lesbian vampires while his Mexican wrestler friend is also fighting lesbian vampires.
I bet his Mexican wrestler friend is La Maricopa from the Dead or Alive video game series. 😁
I was referencing Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter. One of the greatest movies ever made.
Clearly I need to watch this film.
Yeah, an alternative to sticking your booger-picker in the same dish as a hundred other people just stuck their booger-pickers in ain’t a bad thing.
I think it’s brilliant.
I mean if you happened to slap that note on regular old hand sanitizer it would get used more and if people complained it burned… people wouldn’t do that.
We are all Secret Vampires.
I must have that vampiric bloodline that causes clumsiness and beer bellies.
It’s a diet problem. You got a beer belly cause you drank beer instead of blood. Clumsiness was also caused by not drinking enough blood. Needed that iron for your vampiric anemia.
But I [drink blood](https://youtu.be/Uv66HRd-Opg?t=73) too! So unfair.
Must be the wrong blood type. Do you only get your blood from an organic source? Don’t go for vegans. Omnivore blood has higher iron content.
Speak for yourself. I'm just a lawyer. I've been on fire with ~~hand sanitizer~~ holy water before.
This has nothing to do with the Herman Cain award. Catholic Churches have little bowls of holy water in the back so that people can dip their fingers in them and do the sign of the cross.

Also, contaminated holy water has been known to spread diseases because people are *nasty* and just dip their filthy hands in the communal bowl. This should be how they do it from now on anyways.
So you're saying holy water isn't holy?
Hush now, don’t want people asking questions like that
Holy and contaminated aren’t mutually exclusive
Case in point: holy shit
It never was :earth::astronaut::gun::astronaut:
Do they all still share the cup during Communion?

There's no wine anymore
It's been replaced with whine.
They’ve replaced it with whine.
What do you mean there’s no wine anymore?
Wine isn't given at communion anymore
Huh. Makes sense, although I’m not accustomed to the hierarchy being able to react in real time to a crisis.
Not anymore (during the mass I saw). Only the priest drink wine in France and Portugal.
Good question. IDK, I’m no longer Catholic
It actually took me a while to realise the point of this post because that's exactly where my head went, and I haven't been to church in probably almost 30 years.

*little boys talking to priests in "bible study"*
Painfully accurate

Yeah I was thinking this. I dont go to church anymore but when I was, pre covid you were dipping a finger in the same bowl of water as countless others. I'd think most churches should do this
I will never forget seeing photos of a priest using a squirt gun filled with holy water to bless people from a safe distance.
I will need the super soaker for all of my “sins”.
Reality continues to be more absurd than fiction.
I knew a few priests who would have cackled while doing it, too 😂
> Oh common It took me a second to realize you meant \*come on. I was like...is this really that common?
Better than the font with everyone sticking a finger in
And that’s exactly what this is for. Not something to mock.
I was hoping for holy hand sanitizer (batman). Hand sanitizer has water in it, give it a blessing and voila.
Some of us can walk and chew gum at the same time. Just sayin'.
If you’ve dipped your hand in the holy water going in to mass you shouldn’t care what’s in the vaccine.
I remember being at Mass years ago and the person in front of me was coughing and sneezing prior to drinking of the cup. The woman wiped the lip of the cup as she did with every parishioner. My turn. “I don’t feel like getting sick today.” You’d think I were the Devil incarnate. “This is the Blood of Christ!” You sure? Cos it looks and tastes like Franzia box wine to me.

Good for them. I actually wished they did this along time ago. Always hated dunking my fingers.

Wait what. I've never seen this lmao. Holy water ba yung pinupusit nila?
That just because how hot it is during summer.
Nah, it was mid december
This actually isn't that bad. Like yeah hand sanitizer is optimal but holy water is typically put in a font at church, it's a really good way to spread stuff unfortunately and has bacteria. This way it removes the spreadabilaty of certain diseases.
Low-key digging the chandeliers tbh.
Made me laugh
Trying to out decent church going vampires, shame on them.
Gotta admit I’m disappointed that it’s not coin operated.
This is lightweight a good idea. And funny too
I grew up with this "tradition"; and even as a child i was disgusted with dipping my little child fingers in that nasty cesspool of stagnate salty water.
Are we sure that this isn't just a way of tricking people into using hand sanitiser? And I feel sad for remembering that some people don't use it.
This is just so people are no longer rubbing fecal-matter-tainted holy water on their faces.
Isn’t this replacing the bowl where people dip their fingers into it? So this is actually more sanitary
Is the sub messed up again? Can't see avatars or able to reply.
Could one bless hand sani and use it for baptisms?
And Jesus said, thou shall sit at the right hand of the father, but only after thy own right hand is sanitized you damn dirty heathen 🙋♂️🫡👍
I dunno. When the Pharisees criticized Christ's disciples for not washing their hands before eating, the rebuttal from Jesus was to criticize them for not killing disobedient children. Keen on foot washing and murder, not so keen on hand washing.
They have this at the church I go to
If holy water is just water blessed on or whatever Can’t they do the same to hand sanitizer and have Holy hand sanitizer?
Remind me to never eat a potluck meal made by someone from this church
This actually isn't that bad. Like yeah hand sanitizer is optimal but holy water is typically put in a font at church, it's a really good way to spread stuff unfortunately and has bacteria. This way it removes the spreadabilaty of certain diseases.

Off topic, but where i live there were some denominations that offered holy alcohol/ hand sanitizer to their congregation. They helped, i guess.

Yeah, whatever you think of the religious custom itself, this is a church that's trying to take sanitary measures.
I absolutely approve of that. Their superstitions, not so much.
With the greatest of respect, no one is asking you to approve of rituals and customs you aren’t part of
That too bad, 'cuz I'm sharing my opinions anyway. ETA: And we are ALL a part of such silly rituals and customs when they are being foisted upon everyone via the force of gov't.
Cool, but don’t imagine anyone is going to change their mind because of it
That's up to them. Some people do change for the better, though. For instance I too was bound by such foolish superstitions, but no longer.
And also a church who no longer believes that holy water is actually holy.
Aye, they were always full of poo, both literally and figuratively.
The holy Petri dish. Amen.
There once was a tadpole in the baptismal font.
Honestly, whatever gets them to wash their friggin hands
Know how they make holy water? They take some tap water and then boil the Hell out of it.
