Atheists Spread Unholy Water to Counter Christian Blessing

The Humanists of Florida Association, in an attempt to "cleanse Polk County from the influence of Christianity" spread "unholy water" upon a stretch of Highway 98, along the county line. They chose the specific spot as it is one of many that had been blessed as a part of the Polk Under Prayer project.

PUP's "objective is to place Holy Angels at all roads that lead into or out of Polk County. A strip of anointed oil has been placed over all lanes of highway at the county line and a prayer has been given at each location asking God to have angels inspect every vehicle that travels into or out of this county and to bring under conviction to those who seek evil and we asked God to bring them to a state of submission and repentance. If they will not submit to God’s way of living, then the prayer is to have them incarcerated or removed from the county."

Apparently it is working as HFA president Ellen Beth Wachs, who has won awards as Florida's Atheist Activist of The Year, has been arrested twice since the anointing. The first time it was for pretending to be a lawyer. The second for lewd and lascivious behavior. Wachs has in the past offered to shoot any Christian so that they can prove there is a heaven.

According to PUP there have been an increase in arrests of many different kinds of criminals in the county, since the anointing. Specifically in the drug trade and manufacturing sector. They also say that crime in general has gone down since they blessed the highways.

PUP may have gone a little over board with their desire to see non Christians removed from the county. That definitely does not sound like freedom of religion, and maybe they could have worded it better. But it is completely ironic that one of the main arrests since their blessing was that of someone who has made a mission of attacking them.

The HFA clearly seems to think that cursing the site will free their leader of her criminal mindset. I'm almost scared to ask, but what exactly is "unholy water"? Vinegar? Piss? Did you do a prayer of cursing over it? Black magic? O and if you're atheists, how does any form of religious ceremony have anything in it for or power over you?
