‘Body Of Christ’ Snatched From Church, Held Hostage By UCF Student, reads the headlines.

Many people don’t know it but some Christians, especially the Catholics, have a cannibalistic ritual. They eat the flesh of Christ and drink his blood. You can’t make this sort of sh**t up. It’s called transubstantiation. They believe that the bread and wine literally turn into flesh and blood. Pretending that that is true is bad enough but then they proceed to eat it. Doing anything else other than consuming it and passing it though the human digestive system is considered the gravest of sins. Go figure.

So here’s the short summary of the events. A UCF student takes the cracker (the body of Christ) and instead of eating it, saves it to show to a friend. Church officials try to take it back from him. He goes home and preserves it in a ziplock bag. The faithful start a campaign against the student and threaten him with violence. PZ Myers at Pharyngula posts a commentary saying it’s a frackin’ goddamn cracker.

Update: ‘Body Of Christ” Returned To Church After Student Receives Email Threats. Nice bit of intimidation there. Right out of the book they call the Holy Bible.
