I was really disgusted that EBay would not pull it. Even if they think it's laughable that we believe that consecrated Host *is* the Body of Christ, you would think the fear of offending others would cause them to pull it. Instead, they were defiant.

Sh*tting on Catholics remains the one acceptable form of bigotry in this country.

Oh put a sock in it! If ebay removed everything that was offensive to someone, they would be out of business. Stop acting like a frail little liberal who gets offended for any little reason.

I don't think so, slappy.

If ebay removed everything that was offensive to someone,The fact is, eBay regularly removes items that are offensive or borderline illegal. That they wouldn't even act in their own best interest by removing this one auction shows a real lack of judgment.

I'll make it real clear for you. Catholics believe that the consecrated bread and wine become the actual Body and Blood of Christ. For someone to then treat the Body and Blood with disrespect (say, feeding it to a dog, stepping on it, throwing it in the trash, etc.) is disrespect to Christ Himself.

You may think that's a silly belief, but you can at least respect it, and respect how we might feel if eBay is allowing some charlatan to sell it like it was junk to whoever, say even a Satanist who would profane the Body. Its not about being a whiny liberal, it's about keeping others from blaspheming Christ.
