Wow! all that is just one link!

Hey, just a thought about the importance of Transition of Diet.

Perhaps you could add something?

Isn't there a scripture about purifying your heart somewhere?

As for me... Dietary Goal Setting - Towards Fruitarianism

I can only conclude that Jebus is made of rice flour.

But then that raises the question....... Do Catholics on the Atkins diet consider communion wafers
to be meat or carbs......... Christianity is so confusing when one is watching their weight.

You're an ass.

And yes they can. Transubstantiation is not cannibalism.

See if you can find an .mp3 download of Phil Hendrie's classic bit, "All-You-Can-Eat Negro". It's
about a confused old black lady whose nephew has died. Someone has arranged a Catholic funeral mass
for the nephew, and because of the communion ceremony, the confused old lady thinks "...them
Catholics macked on my boy."

In the routine, a real Catholic priest calls the program and attempts to explain to the old lady
that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Jesus Christ. To this, the old lady answers:
"Oh my god...I wanna...I wanna vomit..."

It's hilarious.

You can find it (probably) using Kazaa, but if you want to be legal about it, try to buy a copy of
his 1997 "Best of Phil Hendrie" CD, subtitled "Still On The Air". Or, you can pay to listen to it at

Well, of _course_ he got [censored]. Everybody knows human flesh tastes like pork, not chicken.

I would have thought the appropriate rejoinder would be "it tastes like heaven".

On this I might recommend the classic book "Ritual" by Graham Masterson (who also does a nice line
in bodice rippers). Ritual is about a Christian sect to take the stuff about eating the body of
Christ, very seriously indeed.

Wheat flour. A priest who had a gluten sensitivity was told to pray for healing, but they couldn't
change the recipe for communion wafers.

The implications are moot. Would'st thou eat thyself?

Its a shame. They are so bland, you know. I think more people would go to communion if they tasted
more like Oreos my last high priestess served. (yeah, I did it all for the cookies)

go to hollow tree and get jiggie with some elves. As long as they looked like Legolas how could that
be bad? ;-)

What I really don't get about Catholics is that the wafer is still obviously a cracker and that
the wine is still a Merlot or Chianti or whatever. Crackers taste nothing like meat and wine
tastes nothing like blood.

I suppose they could always argue that god flesh tastes like a cracker and god blood tastes like
wine, but even they have to see that this is an obvious begging of the question.

Actually, as I understand it; they devide the character of the elements into "accidents" and
"essence". "accidence includes all physical characteristics, "essince" is a deeper reality,
preceivable only by faith. They insist that this is not the same thing at all as the elements being
only symbols of flesh and blood.

For someone with an epic name Beowulf, you sure know [censored] about what you're talking about. Why don't
you find out what Catholics believe (I'll give you a hint, it's called transubstantiation) and then
you won't ask such ignorant questions.
