I've got to defend NYer on the "lol".

Of course you have to. You're friends. That's known as an ad-hominem response. First it's nobody drinks it or baptismal font. Then it's yeah some people do drink holy water and baptismal font. Then it's nobody gets sick or dies from it. Then it's some people got sick but it's probably not from that. Then it's some people died but they were going to die anyway so let's all have a BIG lol.

First: Tsk. You made that one up. Big BOOOOO---ooooo.

Second: defending someone's post by name is not ad hominem. Ad hominem means attacking, not the proposition being disputed, but the character or personal distinctives of some individual associated with the dispute. This I did not do.

Third, Catholics do not drink holy water at all; Orthodox do not drink holy water from a baptismal font, but fill their bottles from a covered canister or tank that has a faucet or stoup.
