lol flame if you must, but this one seems (depending on the whole context) relatively harmless, in fact, it could be quite funny. Are they making fun of communion itself? That could be a problem 1 Cor 11:27. On the other hand, if it’s just a matter of suggesting a substitution, I see no problem. Bible doesn’t say what kind of “bread” we are to use, nor what kind of “wine” (we use grape juice lol, so maybe next commercial is to substitute Welch’s for Great Value/Walmart brand lol).

My only problem is if they used the articifial colored Doritos.

Don’t laugh, but I am sure churches struggle with Nabisco crackers vs. Manischevits (?sp?) matzoh crackers vs. something else. I’ve been to churches where they use regular bread, sliced into cubes.

Wine: fermented, biblical

Grape juice: non-fermented, non-biblical

It's generally accepted that the bread has to be made out of wheat. And for Catholics, it would be important that crumbs don't go flying around all over the place.

But it's really the desire to mock religion that is the issue.

There is a poster all over my neighborhood now that says

CHRISTIAN
CANCER

What you don't see unless you look hard is that there is a little "vs." between the two words, indicating that the little boy's name is Christian and he's fighting cancer. St. Jude's Hospital, but some graphic designer got the last word.

A conclusion reached through a poor comprehension of Scripture.

(we use grape juice lol, so maybe next commercial is to substitute Welch’s for Great Value/Walmart brand lol).

In other words, it's just a big joke to you since you don't really believe anyway, lol.
