For all you Catholics, it's December 26th now

[Josephus]

I received Communion for the first time on Dec 24th at a Luthern church. I felt so nervous with that old man stuffing Jesus's body in my mouth.

Lutherans over here don't believe the transformation takes place and regard the act as symbolical. Unlike Cathoholics.

It's transbutation, which sounds a lot like masturbation, come to think of it....heh, I said come.

Transubstantiation, dumbass.

You prods eat pastry and drink juice and pretend it's the big deal, we fucking eat the flesh and drink the blood of our Savior. We own you and Mary Tudor-Habsburg roast the lot of you on a oak stake in 19 minutes.

Too bad I was born 250 years before the last Auto da Fé. 

The old, none-lapsed Fahdiz has taken possession of this body. Sometimes I do miss him, I must admit.

I don't think any Protestants believe that.  I know we (Methodists) don't.  I took communion once at a Lutheran service (which we're allowed to do due to some treaty or whatever) and they used real wine.  I was impressed.  If my church ever pushes me over the edge with their left-wing shenanigans, I'd probably go Lutheran.

That'd be the standard here, though I've seen grape juice as well, out of consideration for alcoholics and children.

Methodists were at the forefront of the Prohibition movement, so having anything with alcohol on church grounds would be unheard of for us   I think the only thing the church thinks is worse than alcohol is <gasp> gambling.

Lutherans are awesome. One of the best Protestant (and thus Christian) denominations.

The Missouri Synod that Seedy mentioned believes something similar to that.  There's a slight difference in but I don't full understand it.

Meh, besides plunging Europe into a centuries of civil war and paving the way for Marxism what did they makes them so awesome?

[Eddie Teach]

They helped create a culture of independent thought. Why do you think most of modern civilization arose in northern Europe and their colonies?

Old theory, try again.

It may be an oldie but it's also a goodie.

Nah, it fails to take in the consideration the importance of France, Northern Italy, Belgium, and Austria.  Not to mention non-christian states all together.

The Church was weak in those places.

[Razgovory]

Like hell it was.  Are we talking about the same thing?  Max Weber and the Protestant work ethic?

[Eddie Teach]

I'm talking about the long-term effects of the Reformation.
