Sweet Jesus and holy communion

A New York Catholic sculptor recently carved a figure of Jesus Christ from chocolate. He titled the sculpture "Sweet Jesus."

I think that part of the Catholic mass is eating wafers that represent the body of Christ and drinking wine (or a substitute) representing the blood of Christ. I think this is based on the last supper (the last Seder).

It's interesting that some Catholics would eat and drink Jesus most every Sunday and be horrified that a sculpture of Jesus would be made of something edible. Michelangelo made a sculpture of Mary and Jesus out of marble, and that is not edible.

Of course, who said that religion had to be logical? Logic isn't much fun.

Hot news! The United States has won the war against Iraq. The entire country has been invaded, the Iraqi army has been defeated, the U.S. ensured that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and the leader of Iraq, Saddam Hussein, has been executed. We won! The brave soldiers can go home now... unless they are needed to prop up the puppet Iraqi government that controls the flow of oil from Iraq. Iraq, after all, has more oil than any nation with the exception of Saudi Arabia. It is quite a coincidence, isn't it, that George W. Bush and others in his administration have such close ties to Saudi Arabia?
