Let's not forget their fondness of powdered Irish skulls.
First I'm hearing about it. Where did you find out about that?

Yeah, I am reading that first link. Wild.
Aren't all Christians cannibals? Don't they believe they're eating the body of Christ? Sorry I don't fully understand transubstantiation.
Only Catholic dogma still believe that it literally turns into the flesh and blood of Christ. Protestants generally acknowledge it as a symbol, not the real deal.
Gotcha thanks
This also depends on the specific sect of Protestantism though, with some believing it is merely a symbol, while others believe it is the spiritual body and blood of Christ.
Why don't they just compromise and say the bread stays bread but the wine does turn into blood, should I start my own sect
Well folks, time to add another line.
TIL the international foursquare tournament is just another christian sect not actually a competition
insofar as jesus was crucified in order to deliver humanity from sin, god gave up his own son, which is reflected in the ritual of the eucharist: jesus' blood and flesh gives sustenance to his church. i think it's a cool ritual personally, i'm not sure if other religions have the sacrifice of its own prophet as a foundational belief.
