I'm actually fascinated by "fiction science".

Like, how much holy does a mist of water need to cause vampire damage?

Also pondering: what is the range of blessing water? Can a person bless a whole ocean? How much holy energy does a priest need to create true holy damage? Is "holy" in the mind of the beholder, like a business man seeing money as their God and uses a Benjamin as their holy symbol?

Is holiness dilutable? Like, if there's insufficient holiness for a given body of water to be considered pure holy, does the holy dilute into a less holy form? Would it still be considered holy water if you have nothing but the diluted stuff? Is there a limit to how much holy a body of water can contain?

Like, if you mix holy water and tap water in a 50:50 ratio is the resulting water 50% as holy as before?

Have you seen the netflix Castlevania series? I feel like you would like it.

[-] aeronmelon@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

Is Holy Water holy because it is water or because it was blessed? Does the blessing remain if water changes state into a gas or a solid?

If you can have holy vapor, you can have holy ice.

And of course, you can shoot holy ice out of a fucking gun.

You joke but the Catholic canon says that to check if someone is saint you have to pray to him and if miracle happens it means that this person can talk to god because only god can do miracles. And since he can talk to god it means he's in heaven so his a saint. They actually have a pretend 'scientific method' they use for beatifications.

I dunno but the 1982 incident severely reduced the African vampire population

Yeah, it's interesting. In Castlevania, they bless a whole river using a "zombie" priest, for example.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 42 points 1 year ago

Fools. By exposing them to a low enough dose over and long enough period of time you will breed a new form of super vampires, completely immune to holy water!

[-] NoIWontPickaName@kbin.social 16 points 1 year ago

I feel like this is more akin to vaporizing sulfuric acid than Iocaine powder.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 34 points 1 year ago

Holy water with essential garlic oil extract.

[-] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 27 points 1 year ago

If we dump enough holy water outside, it'll enter the global water cycle and render the whole planet inhospitable to vampires.

[-] Damage@startrek.website 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It already happened, why do you think there are no more vampires around? It's the pollution caused by the church!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

have you tasted water its delicious all water is holy praise taplor god of wet

[-] howsetheraven@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Would it not be easier to have a mass blessing on each of the oceans? That takes care of 97% of the water.

[-] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

I am horrified and intrigued

[-] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I am more horrified as to how her eyebrows hang weightless in the second frame.

[-] dasusernem@lemm.ee 16 points 1 year ago

Vampires hate this one trick …

[-] Otherwise_Direction7@monyet.cc 15 points 1 year ago

OP, can I have the meme template for this one image?

[-] FreshLight@sh.itjust.works 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Here you go. I didn't have the images so I looked them up. I couldn't find a good quality image of the second panel with his mouth opened, though.

[-] Cannibal_MoshpitV3@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

In case OP doesn't provide, the source is Komi Can't Communicate

[-] MNByChoice@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago

And for those wondering about the manga, here is the Wikipedia entry.

laughs in atheist vampire

[-] FunkyMonk@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Step 1, find out about vampired, step 2 apply for whatever lowest level can let you bless water online of clergy. step 3 bless the ocean. Eventually all water is now holywater, vampires die from any air humidity. step 4 profit.

[-] candyman337@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

That's actually a great idea

[-] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

This is a great point
