I take great offense to the fact there is a religion out there called christian who believes they can turn my Savior into something they can EAT.

Your Savior said flatly that that was what he was: read John 6. How else are you going to interpret "my flesh is true food, my blood is true drink"?

You know, don't you, that Ignatius of Antioch, who knew some of the Apostles personally, on his way to his death in the arena at Rome in AD 110, wrote some of the Christian communities along the way telling them that those who denied that the Eucharist "is the flesh of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ" were "heretics ... of whom we ought not even to speak"?

I'd think long and hard before I'd second-guess someone who offered himself up to be eaten by lions rather than deny Christ.

Great quote!
