The "C" Word

A student goes to communion, gets a wafer, and doesn't swallow. He is in turn called a hate criminal, a kidnapper, and receives multiple death threats for not properly participating in the mass. After all, the Catholic eucharist turns that wafer into the actual body of Jesus, who Western iconography has taught us was caucasion. The blog commenting on the story is from a professor at the University of Minnesota, Morris. It is to him I give kudos for his concise and educated use of the English language in describing the situation.
Crazy Christian fanatics right here in our own country have been threatening to kill a young man over a cracker. This is insane. These people are demented fuckwits.
Here is a professor brave enough to use a racial slur when describing the messiah of our nation's most popular religion. That takes chutzpah, which is Yiddish and has nothing to do with crackers.

I'd been following the story for awhile, great blog. Xians upset over crackers, Muslims over cartoons, love it.
