It is not merely a communion wafer. At the moment of the Consecration it BECOMES the Body of Jesus. He IS present. It is not as though they are treating merely a symbol this way, no they are taking the actual one and only Redeemer, and pretending to flush him down a toilet. This IS God.
It is merely a communion wafer. Jesus won't be leaving the right hand of the Father until he returns to earth to establish the very real and very present kingdom on earth. The wafer is not Jesus. The church has been fooling you all these years.
