Religion is based on faith. There is nothing wrong with you. If you don't believe, then your mind will not fool your body into thinking that something happened to you. It proves to us (realistic/logical/scientific type people) that you are an honest being. You don't say you felt it for the hell of it, you were honest and said that nothing happened, because nothing will happened.
The priest didn't really lie to you. He told you that assuming that you were going to be like any other Christian person and say you felt something when you really didn't. His beliefs made him feel that so to him it was truth.
The decision is up to you. Do you want to connect to Jesus and God? If so, then you will probably think that a coincidental event in your body is the entrance of god. If you are waiting for proof and doubt the existance of god or the fact that it can enter your body, then that feeling will never come. It all depends on your desires, expectations, and fears.

There is nothing wrong with you. I have no idea why a priest would tell you that. I am sorry that he set you up to have a bad experience. The taking of communion is a ritual of remembrance. We participate in communion to remember what Jesus did for us. As his body was broken - we partake of the broken bread. As his blood was shed for us - we take of the red wine (grape juice in our church). I just looked on the Assemblies of God website and found the following: The Lord’s Supper symbolizes the renewal of the covenant between God and the believer and the sharing of faith among believers. The word communion means sharing.
As for the comment about the Bible - it is not a flawed book. The Bible is full of prophecies that have a 100% rate of coming true.

What was the lie? That you never felt God enter your body? Maybe you just didn't recognize it because you have a closed heart and mind. Look inwardly my friend.

It's supposed to symbolically represent the thought of God being accepted by your own belief system as you physicall accept the food and drink.
It's just for symbolism.
Now, why would they want you to accept God? Depends on what their belief of god is.
If that's what they want then fine, if god is something that you accept through physical means then so be it, but just because it had no affect on you doesn't mean the same for others.

It depends on what religion you have.
In Christianity, taking communion is just symbolic.
However, in other religions, they beleive the bread and juice literally become Jesus' flesh and blood.

you obviously didn't feel it. Not everyone is meant to feel God in them. Maybe you don't have that strong of a belief in it or you are practicing the wrong religion. Maybe try a few other religions that are similar to yours and you might find one that is more tuned to you that will let you feel Him more.

The Catholic church is a non-Christian cult. They claim Mary was sinless, but God's Word says ALL have sinned. If you go to a Catholic church, leave it and find a Christian church that follows God's Word.
You won't find God by following the Catholic church.

Because they are lie-rs and do these things to persuade you that the Christianity is a real religion which is not, and if you want to find peace, read what behind this link and consider it a gift from me.

I am sorry that people put so much faith in Priest. Please just draw close to GOD. Jesus is what it is all about. Not Priest. I am answering this because you asked. If it is just another joke then disregard.
May GOD richly bless you.

So that you could do it, the same as my brother telling me that if I don't get baptized I will no longer be God's child
