I've seen a bunch of Christian supply stores that sell money-making candles next to the love candles and peace candles.
I'm still puzzled about how a business transaction constitutes a charge of grand theft. One assumes that the potion would fail to meet expectations, but that's fraud, n'est-ce pas?
Using slight of hand to steal money from a clerk is theft, just like the old "Oh, I only have a 50, oh, wait, here I have a 5, wait, can you make change, wait, can the.... look, how about I just give you this exact change, take my 50, and go home" trick to get your 50 *and* their change for your 50 is theft.
On a very late night infomercial they were selling this Jesus / God water with similar claims. Water is free, but the "instruction book" (because you need instruction to drink a bottle of water) wasn't.

My whole friends list are -- independently -- bashing Ohio today.
Ohio rocks and I WILL convert you all. Muahahaha!
