Transubstantiation 'miracle' shenanigans

[Longhorn]

Ah. It's been a long time since I took chemistry in high school OR college...never much cared for it as you can probably surmise.  

Whether you care for it doesn't change the fact that chemistry is the best tool for describing substances and what happens to them we have. And it doesn't support this idea of transubstantiation. The properties of the substance were not changed. That means no chemical reaction occurred and it is still the same substance. The literal changing of cracker and wine into flesh and blood is unsupportable. The best you can do is a metaphor.

Given that there ARE 44,000 denominations who do teach a common core, I'd say that at least 2 billion people on the planet ARE reasonably clear, and have been for 2,000 years.

But God did not CAUSE the schisms, did He?

But he did let them happen, didn't he? 21 major religions and 44,000 denominations of the supposed 'right' one is the best an omnipotent god can do? He must not give a fuck, then. If I had so many people I allegedly loved spreading lies about me, I'd clear up the confusion. Wouldn't you?

And that 'common core' doesn't stop the denominations from disagreeing on sorta important things, like the purgatory, satan, and hell, to name a few.

Oh, and one more thing... even if we consider the schisms to be irrelevant, it's still 2 billion. Out of 7, Randy. That's 28%. Looks like an F to me.

I'm glad you asked. I'll be starting a thread that will answer this very question later today. See ya there.

Sure. I hope you can do better than myths of resurrection and circular reasoning.
