You had me at "plenty of wine and bread."  Booze and carbs, two of my favorite things!

*Glugging wine and munching on bread*

Careful Ali, the Catholics are HUGE fans of wine and bread. Don't let them lure you. Stick with Jimmy!  :D

Edit: come to think of it, I bet a LOT of their converts do it because they go "wine and bread? Sold!"  :P

I wasn't raised Catholic, but my parents' church does do communion.  That was always my favorite part of church when I was a kid.  A shot of grape juice and a bit of cracker.  Snack time!

You see, the Protestants at least have that in their favour. According to what each believe...

When giving out the bread and wine in a Protestant church, it STAYS bread and wine and they believe it's snack time in memory of Jesus. Yay!

When giving out the bread and wine in a Catholic church, it turns into ACTUAL flesh and blood and they believe they're supposed to eat and drink it so that they're literally digesting their savior. Yikes!

Even when I WAS Catholic, I probably excommunicated myself because I NEVER believed that anything turned into anything else. If it looked like bread and wine, I didn't think it magically turned into something else while only retaining the 'accidental appearance' of what it really was.  :P

Man. All this talk about wine, and I want some. And it's not even 11:30 am. This is bad.  :D

See how easy it is to get new members with bread and wine!! Amicale, I do believe that makes three!! There is a wine for such an occasion....... :P

I dunno, those communion wafers always tasted pretty gross to me. As soon as they get in your mouth they disintegrate and turn all gluey. Yuck. :P

Maybe some garlic breadsticks? Or a soft pretzel? Then we're talking.


LOL....they are pretty gross. The eastern orthodox churches use leaven bread I believe. I'm not sure why they get the tasty treats!!

If you switch to pretzels, you'll have to substitute beer for the wine, it just wouldn't work any other way  :D

ROFL @ the Menage a trois wine! As for the pretzels, I'm down with that. If we HAVE to switch the wine to beer (sigh) please pass me either a honey lager or Rickard's Red.  :D

Ohhh, you see he is practicing a very sacred rite for our new religion. It's the.. uh.. bendy-drinky-fall down rite.
Very sacred. Very holy.

It's oddly hypnotic. I keep watching it. I've even shared it with 2 other friends who liked it. I think it's got some kind of hold on me...  :o  :D

That's how we get you into our religion! He's subtly brain-washing you  :o

To such an effect that I'm willing to donate 10% of my income and perhaps more offerings just to see him do even more amazing tricks. Hey, wait a minute!.. This is eerily like a religion!! He offers to lead you to a state of perpetual bliss, but leaves you waiting, wanting, and begging for more, but will just never be able to deliver. Oh well, But he will.....maybe it'll happen.....just....may...be......(watching with anticipation).....

I just became a new member of your religion.  Please enlighten me how to do the bendy-drinky-fall down rite.  It will definitely lead me to the state of egolessness and nirvana!
