What I discovered is that they like to use alot of props to supposedly awaken faith or aid your faith. They hand out salt to purge your wallets of whatever it is holding you back from prospering lol, holy roses that are supposed to vanquish any evil presences or influences in your home, and they also give you water from the river Jordan (probably more like the toilet bowl) for you to pour over yourself in the shower or bath. Too funny in my opinion and it appeared to me like a mix of Christianity and some sort of white magic.
Sounds very much like paganism to me CP. What a bunch of fools!
A salt and vinegar bath is very good for your skin. Salt itself is excellent for rebalancing your electrolytes. And Roses and their perfume DO lift and relax the spirit when ever they are around.
Sounds like a bit of fundemental naturopathy mixed with a bit of aromatherapy to me.

It looks more like christians (and jews for that matter) are treading in a grey area and praying they are right. It could be looked at as an Idol even if it is of your god or has somthing to do with your god it clearly says thou shalt not make image or likeness of anything... From the reading of the commandment if you some how met god and took a picture then made a statue of HIM/HER/IT you would still be in violation....
But then again lucky for you it's just all made up.....
Just proof positive that the Judaic/ Islamic / Christian faith is a load of superstitious make believe, where you get to "cherry pick" what suits you. Funny sort of god in my opinion, sounding more and more like a politician than anything else.
So I wonders...
"Is Judaic/ Islamic/ Christianiy humanity's first attempts at democracy?? And nothing more?? If so then all the wars that were fought in it's name would make sense as they are STILL being fought today (2000 years after the fact)
If that is the case!!
