A Blow For Religion?

Reuters reports that Catholics on the Adriatic Coast in Italy are attempting to bring religion to beachgoing holidaymakers by using an inflatable church. Sunbathers can queue up to have their confession heard, and enjoy a five person choir singing hymns in the blow-up basilica.
Oh yeah! Now why don’t they bring that to a beach here somewhere? I’ve been itching for a chance to try out my new crossbow.
It hasn’t been all wine & crackers with the air-filled abbey though. The first attempt to launch it in Sardinia last month was aborted due to strong winds. Now really, if ever there was a Sign…

Thanks to Kirke for this tidbit.

Great, a NEW reason to despise religion.
oh my…..
what were they (not) thinking?
A church full of hot air? Surely not…
OH MY SNEAKERS! Thought I was going to say God, didn’t ya??
Are they really THAT desperate? I am with you, what fun target practice that would make. How could you not, it would be calling to you “Hit me with a dart.”
Now I have to go pee from laughing…great picture BTW!
Takes your breath away. A new low in Stupidity of the religious kind.
Any nuns in bikinis?
For some reason this has been running through my head.
I bet this whole concept was invented by the American president. It surely sounds like something he would come up.
do the nuns get wet?
Casey: I’d love to see them try it on Bondi. They could incorporate it into the Festival of the Winds.
Nurse Myra: I think it’s called ‘desperation’/
Colonel: Well, it’s one thing they’re not short of.
MI: Yes, I think they really are that desperate. It appears that no-one is allowed to annoy Catholics, but they have carte blanche to annoy the rest of us.
meggie: I wish it would take their breath away too.
Joey: I believe the nuns wear fishnet stockings to get in the spirit.
Cissy: I nearly called the post ‘Inflatable You’
Mike: The American president certainly blows enough.
treespotter: I think the nuns hold a Wet Habit Competition. I’ll see if I can find pictures.
How High?
mmmmm…. wet nuns!
inflatable nuns? really? there are pictures?
please post them most urgently.
The Power of Christ propels you!
Can you actually say religion and blow in the same sentence. It would almost seem that they might cancel each other out. Unless it was a really heavenly blow.
Malach: When you’re jumping for Jesus, you’re always high.
treespotter: Speak to your local Catholic Church. Be sure to tell ’em that The Cow sent you.
Atlas: There’s nothing quite like being uplifted by the Holy Spirit.
Mike: Or a radiant blow, maybe?
King Willy: Now I have a hankering to see wet nuns in high-heeled shoes on the Bouncy Cathedral.
