NKP,
You post false and disparaging comments about Christians in this thread...
“I used to be a Baptist. The service consisted of a pastor ranting and raving about going to hell if you’re not right with the Lord.”
This is a data sample of one. I believe it was you who said there are 30,000 (or was it 300,000) “protestant denominations”? That renders your one data point irrelevant. Interesting, but not representative. Certainly false in the many Christian churches we’ve attended around the country.
“I do recall once a year he might bring in a bottle of grape juice and some saltine crackers and pretend he was “remembering” Jesus in the Last Supper.”
It is difficult to know is you are presenting this as a memory issue or again trying to claim all protestants follow this silly pattern. Also, I am impressed that you knew he was “pretending, according to your post.”
“For 2,000 years Catholics and Orthodox have participated in the Eucharist, where Jesus Christ is present.”
Hundreds of Christians would disagree that He is present. They do follow His words to conduct the last supper in memory of Him.
“99.9% of protestant faiths make fun of this sacrament, the exact same way they make fun of everything else that Catholics do.”
Again, with the universal knowledge in a post, which is false. Only God has universal knowledge.
There is a significant difference between disagreement and making fun of something.
“Hundreds of Christians would disagree that He is present. They do follow His words to conduct the last supper in memory of Him”.
To end this silly discussion let just say there is a lot more Christians that observe the Eucharist at each and every Mass as there are non-believers. End of subject. You lose.
