I look more rad than Lutheranism

According to the wikipedia entry, if you eat only manna, you do not defecate.

When I was in the freak-ass church, we actually had conversations (not about manna and pooping) about whether or not, in heaven, our bodies (which were supposed to be "glorified," which I suppose is super-duper perfect) would need to eat. And then we thought, well, what if you really LIKE to eat? Surely heaven would have an endless crab-leg buffet, right? And then we wondered about pooping in heaven. If you eat endless crab legs, you'd need to poop, right? And one guy said, totally seriously, that he likes to poop, so he hopes he gets to poop in heaven.

(The FAC wasn't all bad; sometimes we have conversations like these, and it was all worth it.)

GUYS WHY DID I EVER LEAVE THAT CHURCH.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

it was held that manna produced no waste, resulting in no defecation among the Israelites until several decades later

That surprises me, because the one thing I know about manna is that it spoiled. If you gathered more than you could eat in a day and tried to save the leftovers, it would go bad, except on Friday when you could gather enough for Saturday and it would be fine because gathering manna is work and can't be done on Saturday. That's how you know your manna is a miracle and not just luck.

Although I guess that doesn't really argue against digestion producing no waste, but it goes against my intuition.

Yeah. We really did talk about stuff like that. (I should maybe clarify: the "will we poop in heaven?" discussion wasn't really serious -- we were probably drinking when we had it -- but had a kernel of seriousness.)

(I totally want the endless crab leg buffet in heaven.)

Because books.

I'm just saying, there BETTER be cake in heaven.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Endless sushi and taco buffet for me, thanks. Yes. Good.

Oooh, that too. Totally. And all the craft beer that I can't drink right now while my shoddy non-glorified body won't let me.

If heaven doesn't have endless cheese platters, cupcakes, and absinthe, I'm going to start a splinter heaven.

Oh, right! I can have as much sour cream, Brie, and cream cheese as I want with my new, non-glorified body! Mmmm, cheese. Mmmmm, cream cheese frosting.

The poop in heaven conversation sounds like a "What D&D alignment are comic book characters?" conversation you find in game stores.
