"Taste and see that the Lord is good!"
That's from the Bible.
Yes, as a Catholic Christian, I do consume the Holy Eucharist, which is Jesus made physically present, and I am consumed by Him because I give myself over to Him wholly and completely.
Many people do not like the taste of salvation and holiness, and thus reject my Lord and Savior. But I cannot describe what that would be like because there is nothing I desire more than being unified with my Lord body and soul.

Most Christian religons, except Catholics, do belive that Commioun is symbolic, what it means is that we sinned and Jesus died on the cross to remove our sins so that we may have a chance to go to heaven. no, i dont like whats going on in iraq, but like you said we're stuck out there. besides you really need to think of some intelligent Qs

While there are some Christians who really do believe that the wafer and wine physically turn into the body and blood of Jesus, I don't. I believe it is entirely symbolic.
The wafer is dry and tastes a bit like paper...
The wine is very sharp and bitter...
If you don't like it, don't eat/drink it. ;-)
Edit: No Bond, the transubstantiation supposedly occurs during the Invocation. Thus, when the priest holds up the large wafer and chalice and says, "Behold, the Lamb of God..." it really is supposed to be, physically, Jesus, at that point. That is why we were taught not to chew the wafer. "After all, you wouldn't chew on Jesus' ankle, would you?" (Yes, I was really told that once!)
As sad as it is, this is a valid question. One of the (many) charges brought against Christians by the Romans was cannibalism; based entirely on this point.

Most Catholics today still believe in the miracle of transsubstantiation, the communion wafer becomes the body, and the wine becomes the blood.
It still tastes like a thin piece of cardboard and vinager wine.

Christians did not eat the Lord while he was on earth.
Its just another perversion of the Roman Catholics.

Sooooo, I guess you think Jesus and God is made of bread and wine? What a flimsy body that would be.
I know you meant this as a smartly-insulting "question", but it really made you look childish.

I was raised Catholic, and this is really what they taught. I don't believe this was supposed to be taken as literal, only in remembrance. As far as I know only Catholics teach this. I left Catholicism years ago. This is just one reason out of many.

I believe you meant to say 'catholics', not christians. I believe most (or all) protestants don't believe in transubstantiation.
Also, I think the transubstantiation is suppose to occur in the stomach (not the mouth), so they never get a chance to taste it.
Nice try flame-baiter. Try again.

catholics believe in a god who is able to transubstantiate the bread and wine of the communion into his own body and blood.
no other religion believes in a god this powerful.
the catholic god kicks *ss.
