To PZ Myers: A consecrated host is not just a cracker, same way as a flag is not just a piece cloth. Deal with it. http://bit.ly/4qDxfW
UPDATE: I left a comment on PZ Myers blog and as I expected even my seemingly harmless comment was grossly misinterpreted by one of PZ Myers’ readers.
"A flag IS just a piece of cloth. What, are you one of those lunatics who thinks people shouldn’t be able to burn the flag?"
Well, apart from the reader arguing about some imaginary something (or should I say, projection) I never said (e.g. "people shouldn’t be able to burn the flag"), the reader has missed my entire point. If a flag IS just a piece of cloth then the U.S. would not bother to have a United States Flag Code.
My other point is this: What’s disappointing about this whole PZ Myers rant is that Myers went down the rabbit hole with Bill Donohue. Myers is now caught up in his own cognitive dissonance,
committing performative contradictions left and right. The fact that
he’s getting all this attention (including, unfortunately, violent
threats) is an obvious case in point that the consecrated host is not
just a cracker (to a lot of people, namely, Catholics). Duh.
