What is 'Holy Crap'?


Things have been a little serious around this site for the last few weeks. I'd like therefore to continue in that vein and consider the essential and potentially planet saving question of "What is Holy Crap?"
Could it be Jesus' shit?
Often said to mark incredulity, perhaps this subtle and unconsidered phrase is actually a clue to an important fact. Perhaps it is telling us that there is no such thing as holy crap, and that crap is, by definition, unholy.
In this sense, is 'holy crap' neutral, or aneutral?
One's first inclination would be to say that holy crap must be 'good', because it's holy, right? On the other hand, however, it is crap, so that makes it 'bad', right? Then again, as discussed above, perhaps it doesn't exist at all, in which case (assuming non-existence = neutrality [which is a big assumption]) 'holy crap' = 'neutral'.
There we have it folks, you may say "Holy Crap!" without fear now, safe in the knowledge that you are preserved in your neutrality. Thank God, the father of all holy crap.

Crap is good for fertilizing plants and trees. There are even animals that have their own crap in their main diet (that would be.... google it your self and you'll find out). So the big assumption is not a big LOGICAL assumption.

In the dark ages some people where considered so holy there graves where robbed for relics, bones whatever could be found because they held power. Secondary relics being anything that touched them. The hem of a robe, a piece of the true cross, and yes even the food that past through there system.These relics were activly sought and sold, the bellief was they held enough power to have healing properties.Churches since then have forbidden the sellng of relics.So holy shit is very lltteral.
