You can switch it to source mode by hitting the button on the end of the second row in the editor, or by hitting Ctrl+Shift+S. Then you'll see all the BBCode tags.
I'm used to seeing {quote} {/quote} around everything I am responding to.
And if there is an indent button, that would be great, too.

If you post 2 hours later, it would be a new post.

Just saying "Jeebus says" carries no weight. You have made a claim that cannot be tested. You say the bread and wine changes, but its physical characteristics are not altered. By what measure has it changed, then?
Jesus said, "This is my body, this is my blood."
He never said, "This represents...".
Fiat assertion does not make a claim true. It's a fucking ridiculous claim, and can be dismissed as such.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
