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

I know you're not supposed to put down other people's faith, but this is weird.
Cannibals, the lot of them
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?
- Charlie from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia"
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.
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.
Represents‽ No they are the body and blood of santa
Represents‽ No they are the body and blood of santa
Bah. You Catholics and your Transubstantiation, and the Evangelicals and their Memorialism, are both wrong.
The body and blood of Santa are present in, with, and under the cookies and milk.
Transsantaniation
Why is he eating it then?
...to stay alive, naturally.
Kind of like Chiquitita in Dan Da Dan.
Anyway Santa gives gifts in exchange for keeping him alive with sustenance one night a year.
Why do Catholics eat Jesus?
why don't they find a tastier, less crumbly god?
So, uh... what does the carrot represent?
Nothing. That's just for some celebratory pegging after the kids go to bed.
The Dong of Rudolph.
How much did that user pay to have so many verified check marks?
Hail Santa!
Hail Jesus?
British children have notes.
Gonna milk Santa dry tomorrow
Santa definitely rocking that cookie bod.
That's why Santa is always so red!
