During the Lord's Supper they used wine and bread to pretend they were drinking blood and eating a corpse. Even when I was a child I thought it was seriously messed up.

The bread and the wine are only symbols of the blood and the body of Christ that He shed for us.
It's like a married person wearing a wedding ring. It's a symbol to show they are married.

This is a Catholic doctrine and not scriptural at all.Communion is taken only as a reminder of what Christ did for us on the cross.I am so sorry you have been subjected to such blasphemy.Please do not hold the Lord accountable for such barbarism.Go to a christian church and you will find it much different.

I agree. It's rather disturbing. How does eating flesh and drinking blood (even symbolically) improve a person's situation? Not logical.
LOL, Stormwind!

Whenever I eat cheetos, I symbolize that I am devouring souls. Air filled and outrageously cheesy.

The words used are "in remembrance of" - as in it is symbolic.

Uh...where did you get that? The blood thing is a metaphor, it's not literal and they weren't pretending anything. You're digging way too deep man, way too deep.
