I got a little choked up reading this. The importance of this event transcends the particular brand of Christianity one recognizes. The fact that the first men on the Moon, Americans, saw fit to drink of the blood and eat of the body of the Son of Man speaks volumes as to where from we come.
The fear, admiration and respect of Jesus Christ is a sacred bond we make with ourselves and Christ. I’m glad that Aldrin kept this private. The athiests of the day and today would coil themselves in knots over something like this, and the fact that they held radio silence due to one complaint is a testament to the bravery, strength, and beauty of the generation that is now leaving us.
I pray that God shows us the way in the future. God knows we need it now.
How utterly creepy and disgusting a religion.
