A man rips up pieces of paper, and defiles a cracker.Why should a rational human being such as myself care?

Maybe you should have put that human reason to work before you chose to post your snide, dismissive public insult.

To think that your reason could have led you to chose, in an act of charity and respect for the deeply held beliefs of others, not to hit the Post button ...

I myself do not steal communion wafers, fly the swastika, flush the koran, etc. because I have no reason to, and such acts would agitate folks who I really have no desire to offend (including members of my own family).

Nevertheless, I will call a wafer/cracker what it is, and remind you that while your faith may believe that it is magically transformed into the body of Christ, most of us on this planet see it as just a flour-based food product, nothing more, nothing less. I respect your right to believe in what you believe, but don't think I have any obligation to genuflect towards Rome, Mecca, or Jerusalem.

Don’t be so fast to take insult - he may have honest doubts. Many people do.

Why don’t you try reason, instead?
