I prefer the moist towelettes
what do I use to get the vague scent of spam out?
That thing doesn't dispense soap, it dispenses the blood of Christ. So you'll probably want to follow up with a good antibacterial scrub just to be safe.
Oh good, I'm tired of those scented indulgences my wife keeps putting in the bathroom.

Sorta like Dr. Bonner's Magic Soap?
Listen. Soap does indeed wash away your sins. I'm on a twelve bar rotation. Four in the shower, two in the bath, the rest stacked up at every sink. Coconut lime with sunflower oil, cocoa butter and calendula leaves, lavender, patchouli. Avocado oil, hemp oil, green clay, green tea... There is a certain stereotype about the unwashed hippie, but, in truth, peace and love types are more likely to indulge in frequent, soapy, herbal scented bathing rites. ...if we could just convince the rest of you to exfoliate deeply (like, down to the soul) then maybe we'd have a shot at world peace.
It likely isn't claiming to wash away sins, but acting to remind people why Jesus died. The sentiment that someone died on your behalf is generally a good thing in most cultures. This is directed to a particular death for a particular reason.
Agree or disagree with Christianity, encouraging people to mentally say "uh, thanks dude!" ain't so bad. Too bad it comes across so tacky.
Don't be a nerd, Anonymous. Only "you guys" will overlook somebody trying to make a buck off of you in the name of jesus ;)
Pfft. I remember seeing actual soap (not a dispenser) that made the same claims for sale at Borders some years back. A classmate of mine bought some for the president of our (Bible) college as a gag gift.
