Transubstantiation



I know what you're thinking: "that pic is kinda hot". Well, sure, but that's not the point. The point it to remind you that the communion wafer is supposed to "transubstantiate" into the body of Christ upon ingestion. This would mean that somewhere between your mouth and your stomach, the communion wafer magically becomes JESUS MEAT. There's a problem with this.

If these communion wafers become the lean-meat-of-the-lord, then they must be Atkins friendly, low-carb protein-rich meat. Yet, bear witness to the holy nutritional information of the covenant.

Yeah, there you have it. No protein, no fat, no calories... because it's not meat. It's bread. Therefore: Christianity is stupid and wrong. Q.E.D. Bitches. I'm out.

The upside, they're vegan-friendly! So eat-up atheists!

Obviously, those nutrition facts are for the pre-transubstantiated wafer. Kind of like how a quarter-pounder is not nearly a quarter pound after it's cooked, or how unpopped popcorn has substantially different nutritious qualities depending on what oil is used to pop it.

Communion wafers are nothing more than what it says on the box until they're blessed. If they really wanted to be accurate, they could included the nutrition facts for both unblessed and blessed wafers, kind of like how Cheerios does with milk. But I don't think they legally have to.

Also, if you haven't tried communion wafers, I highly recommend them. They're very bland, and have an interesting quality where they sort of melt on your tongue.
