The Caramilk Secret (split from something and now meandering to something else]

[Trinity]

After reading about Transubstantiation, I have little shivers of visions of us being slightly cannibalistic.  ;D

UH HUH....  albeit symbolistic in some denominations, in others "the substance" literally becomes
the body and blood of Christ. 

Imagine someone outside of our culture trying to describe that to their own people...

"yeah, these Christians, eat the flesh and blood of the god"...  sounds pretty odd

Or be the youngest daughter of an Anglican priest who stores the comunion wine in his study in the basement of the rectory...

And people wonder why port was my drink of choice as a teen :  SHEESH!!

 

Ah, memories of being an altar boy (pass the wine!)  (keep your heads out of the gutter!)

In the immortal words of Tom Lehrer:

2, 4, 6, 8
Everybody Transubstantiate.

The secret to the Caramilk bar is the transubstantion of Christ....

Marvelous, Padre.  LOL.

Inverted sugar in the center. Its formed as hard chunks and turns into a thick liquid over a period of time.
Not quite as symbolic as the blood of Christ, but there ya have it.

Gee, what memories?  I knew those Catholic kids had it better than me!!!

(keep your heads out of the gutter!)

Took me years to figure that one out..I always thought the gutters were pretty clean, so it was alright, wasn't it?

Keep trying GAP.......

The secret to the Caramilk bar is the transubstantion of Christ.... 

In that case since the Divine is not of our earthly realm, does that mean that there are indeed no calories in Caramilk, after the obligatory "I am not worthy...." uttered three times before unwrapping?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consubstantiation

TWO THEORIES on communion

In transubstantiation
"The substance of the bread and wine do not remain, but their accidents (superficial properties like appearance and taste) remain."

In Consubstantiation - the bread and wine remain but alongside it are the body and blood of Christ.

For Consubstantiation I would say, yes, the calories do exist.

For transubstantiation - it would become the flesh and blood.  Now, you say he was divine, but he was both divine and human
on earth.  We are doing a practice remembering his earthly presence, i.e.body, blood, and thus, I guess it would still have
calories of ...um.. er.. that the normal flesh and blood would have.

Thus, if the caramilk secret is transubstantiation - it still has calories.

Good question...  I can't believe I'm apply theology to a Caramilk bar.
Although, I am trying to be as theologically correct in the theories, applying it to a caramilk bar
is absurd, but so damn funny.

Padre!

You thought that was funny:

Is Communion cool for vegetarians?

Padre!

Given the fact the bread and wine is the blood and flesh...........

Communion received in one form only, i.e. only the bread or only the wine is still considered communion.
You do not have to receive both bread and wine.

Thus, is communion cool for vegetarians.  Yes,  they can simply receive the wine and it will be considered
participation in communion.


You're all having fun with this but secretly you're all learning religion. Who's laughing now!

....and if a cow was medically brain-dead, but kept on life-support until BBQ time.......can it be considered to have been a "vegetable"?
