Reply #117: Transubstantiation? Cannibalism?

[Tux]

OK, so the cookie becomes God's body and the wine turns into Jesus' blood? And people eat and drink it?

Sorry, Catholics, but don't expect me at your churches (Catholics everywhere are :woohoo: :headbang: :toast: :party: ) but that seems disrespectful to God. To have a miracles (which I don't believe in) to have God appear in physical form and then eat/drink it makes me uncomfortable.

As for the cannibalism remark from the post I'm responding, it seems to be cannibalistic but it's based on what Jesus had people do: eat bread and drink wine to remember him - the parts about it being his flesh and blood is easily explained: when he taught he nourished their minds/souls and when they did that ritual, they would focus on the teachings to be nourished again. IMO.
