It's a free country. EBay can be as insensitive as they want. They aren't breaking any laws. However, that doesn't mean we operate in a crass, obnoxious, tasteless society. In the interest of taste and respect, EBay should have pulled the item. Catholics believe the consecrated Host *is* the Body of Christ (and the consecrated wine *is* His blood). To do anything disrespectful to it is to disrespect Christ. You'd think that EBay would recognize that.

There's a difference between telling someone what they must do (or force them to do) and telling them what they should do.

I suspect eBay is well aware that it offends your beliefs. Whether it actually disrepects Christ is still open to interpretation.

Many Christians believe Mel Gibson's The Passion of the Christ disrespects Christ. Therefore, perhaps eBay should consider a ban on its sale, too.
