        It's a parody. Kinda like the Bible.

        The Holy Bible is a teaching of love. Jesus said, live a life in love and be learnt by the spirit within, or be lost without knowledge!

        When my basement flooded, I fought water with water. That flood water was soaking wet by the time I was finished.

        Spraying the flood water with water made it feel unwelcome so it gradually left.

        that's actually a legitimate way to fight some forest fires, its called a backfire. the idea is to set more fires in front of it so both fires will meet in the middle and starve eachother out minimizing damage.
