I think they're only a little more than typical bottled water here.

But maybe they're like Tom's Shoes: for every bottle of water they sell, they waterboard and drown a child in the Maldives in preparation for the climate change advances there. :heart:
I just don't get it.. I struggle with why we need all that water from the Alps, but now we need to get it from Fiji?

They're pretty expensive for a bottle of water here on the east coast.

You know, I was thinking about all the religious nut jobs who exclaim the appearance of religious imagery in their lives - ie, the Virgin Mary appears on toast and ends up sold on eBay, people see the shadows of rocks and hills and claim that their village wall is being visited by the apparition of Jesus is to begin religious pilgrimages.

And it's almost always Christians. Any wonder why they don't have this in Islam? ;)

Score one for Islam in this case.

Your point is that one retarded thing might be slightly less retarded than another retarded thing. In one aspect. And Christians might see things, but who was the last person you saw beheading another human being in the name of God. Henry VIII?

in lot’s of countries you could aswell just drink the water you flush your toilet with.
Of course. But I understand why people would go for bottled watter. In some cases it does taste better and I do have my preferences. But there are limits. And most of the time I just drink tap water anyway.

My point is that there are rarely absolutes with silver linings to many things.

Beheading others in the name of God, however, especially when it's just some 81-year-old archeological caretaker in Palmyra, is different though.

Henry was acting out of self-interest and spoke for his church offshoot. These Daesh are just psychopaths.

Both Islam and Christianity have been the direct cause of a significan amount of good deeds.

But I'd say their role is over now.

Part of that is because the world has become far more political than religious. Or at least the religious aspects of politics are on the wane. (thankfully
Today much of what we call religion just serves politics.
