Sometimes Facebook can be Awesome

Too bad he got the part wrong about Catholics being cannibals… required to eat the magical flesh and blood of a dead person.  It is NOT symbolic at all.  See below.

Facebook sometimes rules

Regarding the eating of the flesh and blood…

Transubstantiation is a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. The Catechism of the Catholic Church defines this doctrine in section 1376:

“The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: ‘Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation.”

In other words, the Roman Catholic Church teaches that once an ordained priest blesses the bread of the Lord’s Supper, it is transformed into the actual flesh of Christ (though it retains the appearance, odor, and taste of bread); and when he blesses the wine, it is transformed into the actual blood of Christ (though it retains the appearance, odor, and taste of wine).

The rest of the referenced article goes on to essentially say, “yeah but it is really symbolic”.  This article is a brilliant representation of the whole of religion.  A perfect example of the classic “picking and choosing” of specific, contradictory scripture to fit any desired outcome.  In this case the desired outcome is to not look like a bunch of loonies for eating magical flesh and blood every week.

If you don’t think picking and choosing of scripture to fit an agenda happens, please witness this extreme example.  You will be stunned.
