Oxytocin mixed with LSD should do the trick. The acid will make you hallucinate while the oxytocin will make you trust and love the hallucination ;)

I tried it, and the spray worked great... until someone slipped me a 'Supostasy' brand suppository. Now I'm right back where I started.

"Because not all people who claim to have an invisible friend get locked up, you know!" - pulpshop.co.uk

hahaha

For a lot of people however, lonliness, fear of death, etc is enough to make them believe the unbelievable

I'm sure regular visitors to Richarddawkins.Net can make a killing selling stuff like this on ebay.

We know how they "think", right?

Let's see... I have some Triple-Blessed Holy Water...and last week I dug up an ancient artifact from Jerusalem that was mentioned in the Bible... and my cappucino froth looks like Jesus... and it is said objects touched by me can heal because an angel appeared to me and said so... and I can see your dead uncle standing behind you if you send me his photo and $50...

Well I guess you could say these are 'mints with the ontological "hole"'

I bet the verses are cherry-picked as well, just a few innane mutterings to help you through your day.

I've actually tried this product too. I felt the presence of a higher being at first, but then realized that it was just indigestion from some chili.

You can tell something about a product as to how it is positioned with others. So along with the instant belief in god spray we find...

"Cat Butt Gum": Kiss my ass attitude, kitty-style!

"Totally Wasted Gum" , captioned appropriately, "Oh god, I am so totally wasted"

and

"Lookin' good for Jesus Lip Balm", which is purported to "Returns lips to near virgin quality!"

It is easy to ridicule most religions without fear of some sort of retaliation; all religions are silly while one or two are nasty. Luthien and his avatar manage to ridicule an aspect of Mohammedanism nicely ("Thank you for not provoking my uncontrollable lust"). One of the Danish cartoons also did the job very well, too: heavenly character saying to dead suicide bombers "Stop! We've run out of virgins."

Personally, I like "God is grot" ("Grot" - from the UK English slang "grotty" = 1. unpleasant, nasty, or unattractive; 2. of poor quality or in bad condition, unsatisfactory or useless).

Have we been treading too softly in dealing with one particular example of l'infame?

mints wrapped in scripture. Almost as cool as the gumballs my kid bought the other day. Open the package and there's a Shakespearean insult printed inside from one of his plays...
