In the post, Myers wrote that the Eucharist wafer, which for Catholics is the transubstantiated body of Christ, was "just a cracker."
Well, they believe that the transubstantiated eucharist is *literally* Jesus.
"It's a snack food!"
"No, it's the Messiah!"
"It's a nummy treat!"
"No, it's our Lord and Savior!"
"Hey, hey, kids...no need to fight. Eu-Charispies (tm) are both a nummy snack treat
and
our Lord and Savior! Enjoy Redemption with your favorite dip or salsa!
Also try Trinity-scuits! It's the Father, Son and Holy Ghost in a crispy, healthful cracker! Perfect for parties, confirmations...whatever!"
Now all Myers needs to do is get the Church of Satan to transubstantiate some Cheese Whiz into the Body of Satan....
So I'm all ready to talk about my latest project with big boss (which is what he's asking everybody) and he comes in my cube and introduces himself, and, of all the multitude of things in my cube, spots the photograph of Gérard Depardieu, Yves Montand, Michel Piccoli, and Serge Reggiani smoking cigars on the set of some obscure '70s film for which I don't even remember the title and asks about
that.
Eu-Charispies (tm) are both a nummy snack treat and our Lord and Savior! Enjoy Redemption with your favorite dip or salsa!
I might need to tag this.
Does Kerfuffle Bunny have any opinions on the cracker kerfuffle?
Not today, but maybe tomorrow...
ND, did you see upthread that I dreamed about you (and PixKristin, and Stephen Hawking) last night? You were, sadly, not wearing your kilt (just in normal jeans).
Of all the things PZ blogs about on a daily basis, this is what gets the death threats?
Well, he also asked people to send him some some communion wafers so he could desecrate them, so I don't think it was just mentioning snackfoods that upset people. But, yeah. The whole thing started with the guy in FL who was holding the body of Christ hostage in its cracker form so the whole topic was preloaded with crazy.
