I know you’re not supposed to put down other people’s faith, but this is weird.

FYI, in the Catholic faith, the bread and wine don’t represent the body and blood, they literally are.

You’re telling me that you believe that Christ comes back to life every Sunday in the form of a bowl of crackers and you proceed to just eat the man?

Comes up in the new Indiana Jones game, where he deciphers a tome stating a need for holy blood - and his priest friend just hands him a bottle of wine.

I remember having this conversation with my mom when I was young and saying something like, “Well that’s great then, this is an easy win. Scientists should be able to examine them and confirm the change and then we know what the Bible is telling us is true,” and she replied that that’s not how faith works. And I was dumbfounded and like, “But… it would be so easy…”
And that lesson of how willfully choosing ignorance is somehow something to be valued was a key turning point in my waking up to the bullshit of religion. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

You cant prove that Christ wasn’t made out of bread tough. Probably a mistranslation from the original into Latin, it should’ve said Christ was a gingerbread man

Perfect moment to ask why are the people in the Bible special if they didn’t had any faith. They literally were supposed to see that supernatural shit, no faith needed.
But now that no supernatural shit is anywhere to be found you must have faith, and adore those who didn’t need that amount of faith.
Not that it would change anything as religion is based in irrational thinking. But it’s always fun to do it with the ones who try to fake some logical arguments into the discussion.
