Sounds like his church is full-on stupid and therefore not worth attending anyway.

That was one of my initial thoughts, anyway, but still that's gotta suck. I've always wondered how you get booted out of church - I mean, do they take out a restraining order, do they ask you nicely not to come, what? Does the pastor make the decision, or is it a council?

I mean, you know, Communion.

Yeah. Early mistrust of Christianity from other religions had a lot of problem with the "eating the body/blood of Christ" thing, because a lot of pagans found it to be too close to actual cannibalism for their liking.

One of the things that irritates me about certain individual Christians and Christian sects is that they tend to look down and laugh at other people's rituals and beliefs, seeing them as either ridiculous or evil, but don't realize that their own views and beliefs are rather strange.

I find arguments about transubstantiation to be utterly ridiculous. I can't help but wonder about the kind of logic someone uses to explain why they think that God magically turns a piece of stale bread into flesh in someone's mouth.

Frankly, if you believe in that sort of thing, more power to you, but you've got no business laughing at anyone else's beliefs.
