Why do you fallen Catholics figure everyone is a Catholic? I've been inside a Catholic church exactly one time in my life to attend a friends wedding.

So let us pretend that a supernatural being (let us say Jesus) could truly change wine into his actual blood and bread into his actual flesh--why is this a benefit?? If I eat the heart of a brave warrior, will I really become brave? Is bravery centered in the heart muscle? It is all so primitive, so ignorant, and so very despicable. What is the matter with people?

"A little piece that you could scarcely see would be the body of Our Lord. However, the particle that is given to the people is about the size of a twenty-five-cent piece, so that they can swallow it before it melts. In receiving Holy Communion you must never let it entirely dissolve in your mouth, for if you do not swallow it you will not receive Holy Communion at all." Holy Shit! I knew something had gone wrong. Nobody cautioned me. And how was I to know? If it dissolves in your mouth it will never reach the stomach where it can do extraordinary things! Anything that dissolves in the mouth turns into air which is expelled through the ears. Plain old carbon dioxide. Everybody else will have a supernatural glow while connoisseurs like me who savour their wonderful Divine Flesh will end up with CO2. Not fair, I says...
