Holy water in churches carries a lot of fecal matter from people who didn't wash their hands properly dipping into it, if you have a cut or it gets on the mucous membranes you'd risk a nasty infection, stick with clean tap water.

Holy water is just blessed water. You can do one of two things to bathe in it. You can fill your tub and have a priest over to bless it or you can just fill up a container and add it to your tub water.
Holy water doesn't dilute so adding a cup full to your tub would make the whole tub holy water.
Also bathing in it will be no different than a splash. It's your soul that reaps the benefit and not the body. But sometimes it helps with the mental "uncleanness".

Listen, holy water is ONLY WATER, so bathe your entire body and all its dirty parts in WATER

You can but I wouldn't suggest it. Haven't you ever seen the little warning sticker on the bowl? "Caution: Holy Water may cause burning if applied to genitals"

sure, why not? be careful, though, some believe that bathing a... um... certain... body part in holy water after using it... will cause it to turn to dust and fall off.

Why not? You just need a priest to bless a bathtub full of water and climb in. Good luck on finding one who will do that however...
A better question is why would you want to?

If you're going to bathe,I can't see how you can keep all your parts out of it. What exactly are your "dirty parts"?

You can try; but you'll probably get kicked out if you try to do it in that little bird-bath thingie they have at the entrance of the church....

Sure. Just get a priest to bless your bathtub.

Go right ahead.
It's just water. Believe what you want about its physical and spritual properties.
