And this has to be on the soundtrack, obviously.

No, this would be more appropriate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPHKn1JYHcA

It would say there,

"Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught His disciples."

He said to them "This, then, is how you should pray:"

YOSH. Jesus IS metal.

Jesus is both man and God, neither of which, to my knowledge, are made of metal.

Catholics literally devour the heart of Jesus at mass. It's metal AF

And that's after a long time of chanting in unison. Would be pretty scary if you knew nothing about Catholocism.

Jesus is both man and God, neither of which, to my knowledge, are made of metal.

But, Jesus said "This is my blood and drink this in memory of me". We partake of His blood every Communion. Blood is made of iron. Iron is made of metal. Therefore, by logic and science, Jesus is Metal.

You are wrong.

I have been out argued. I am humiliated, end my suffering.

I remember hearing once that pre-Christian Romans thought Christians were cannibals because of the Eucharist

They also thought we had an incest fetish because Christians would call each other "brother" and "sister". But that's a separate issue altogether xP

Is this Branch Theory?

Christians eat Jesus meat at Mass. Are you saying that different denominations eat different organs?

RCs eat heart.
Orthodox eat brain?
Prodestants eat genitals?

"Literally". It's just not as metal when the heart looks like bread, tastes like bread, smells like bread, and is literally bread.

Why do Catholics (and others) believe in transubstantiation anyway?

That's a certainly on odd query, I mean there's over a thousand years worth of theology you could have perished to tell you the theological reasons. So I guess you must be asking why, as in why do I find it an acceptable teaching but then again I'd have you to point you back to the earlier comment about there being literally over a thousand years of theological development on the subject.

So maybe your asking how one can accept transubstantiation while looking at a wafer and cup, but I feel like you're asking a deeper question then, of why would anyone have faith in anything beyond their own nose?

Couldn't tell you

I am not aware of any theology justifying the doctrine. Theology explaining the doctrine, sure, but nothing actually justifying it. Why insist it's not merely metaphorically body and blood? As a metaphor it has meaning - but if you insist it's not a metaphor but a literal transformation then that meaning is lost, and it's just a bizarre ritual.

Actually, if there is no transformation, then it has no real meaning. If it's just a metaphor then it's just the lame ritual that people do once a month or just on Easter. Removing it entirely would have no real effect. The fact that Christ is present in the Eucharist is precisely why it is so important.

You could say that a lot of things, such as the crucifix. Symbolism and tradition are a big part of Christianity.

The fact that Christ is present in the Eucharist is precisely why it is so important.

Don't you believe that Christ/God is always present? Or is communion a summoning ritual?

Damn, you caught me making the same mistake I challenged Sally McFague of doing just yesterday. My appologies. God is incarnate or Manifest in the Eucharist.
