And these are people that I agree with you on pretty much every other topic are completely rational.
that's true, but again the water is holy because it is from Lourdes. I'm not sure how to explain this right, but its "powers" come from what Lourdes represents, but it does not in itself contain "magic molecules". It's power is not physical, it is spiritual, that's the way they see it.
