Don't you know that that kind of idea is special and is immune to criticism?

Besides, it doesn't have to make sense. All you have to do is BELIEVE! Just ask His Royal Majesty.

I believe the Vatican maintains that transubstantion is a real thing. Yep, you're really eating Jesus at communion.

Otherwise, pitch-perfect.

and making fun of the belief that crackers turn into actual deity flesh -- even though this is the year 2015 -- well, how dare we do such a thing?!

No doubt there are reams of paper and dozens of tomes that explain the theology about how the change does happen, but it doesn't show itself happening in any way...but it happens for sure...

Or people who actually suffer from celiac, then you should probably reconsider the whole thing. I dunno if anyone has examined a wafer after being transsubstainated, they probably don't let them go for any kind of scrutiny. I remember when the satanists held the black mass and they had gotten a wafer from a church in Belgium or somewhere and the local protesters insisted that despite proof to the contrary the wafer had been stolen because that's what the ritual called for.

Lots of kids say, "One nation, under God, invisible..."

Then they get confused.

Does that mean an invisible God or that He can't see us?
