Edit: I'm not "targeting" Catholics here, however, most Protestant denominations don't believe in Transubstantiation, which is pretty entertaining itself since they tend to take the rest of the Bible literally.

Oh crap. Transubstantiation! I feel like a moron. I was talking about this very subject the other day (on here of course), and I called it transmogrification!
I'm transmortified!

Think Cain and Abel. Sacrifices between wheat and flesh. Murder through envy, pride, jealousy, and anger resulted. Imperfect attempt at worship. Genesis.
Abraham was tested to sacrifice his son to God, to see if he loved God more than his flesh and blood. Abraham did love God more than self, thus Covenant Established.
Melchizedek offered sacrifice of bread and wine, worthy of praise.
Moses offered the flesh of the sacrificial lamb during Passover. Requirement was that the lamb of passover must be consumed.
Prophesy of perfect sacrifice to come.
Jesus Christ Son of God offered for our sins as a sacrifice of atonement. Total love by God the Father. Bread and Wine transformed in all ways as the forever once and for all, sacrifice to give grace. Each Mass this redemptive gift continues uninterrupted for over 2000 years, by command of Christ literally.
The Eucharist is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ.
John Chapter 6 It is what it states.

i used to be a catholic and i didnt get it either. its just language and translations etc interpreted by people thousands of years ago who were not as literate as we are today so it could mean pretty much whatever you want it to!
can i ask what you mean by the "zombie" in your question?

Judging by those nodding off during sermon, perhaps "mostly dead" instead of a full-boat zombie.
hehe
