The 'blood drinking' you're mocking is the Eucharist, a symbolic or spiritual practice representing Christ's sacrifice, practiced by 3+ billion Christians worldwide. It's not a 'ritual' in the occult sense you're implying. As for 'invented characters', whether you believe in God or not, these are real historical traditions that shaped Western civilization, philosophy, law, and ethics for 2000 years. You don't have to believe it, but at least understand what you're criticizing. Look, you can be atheist or of a different faith without being disrespectful. Jumping into a discussion just to mock people's sincere beliefs with edgy misrepresentations is just rude. If you want to critique religion, at least learn what people actually believe first. Otherwise you're just being an ass.

The ritual part doesn't bother me all that much, as a sacrifice is a meal with a god, preferably only with The Most High. Jesus was showing his disciples this with "The Last Supper," which is a name a utterly detest since it is not, in fact, our last supper with Jesus. 🙄 I would also disagree with the "invented characters" perspective. The characters mentioned in the Bible are just not well understood by most modern Christians, with notable exceptions of The Orthodox churches, though the "rank and file" may not be able to aptly articulate what is definitely present in the trained clergy's education.

Chill, bro. Niel is only mocking Catholicism's views on transubstantiation, and poking fun at the modern evangelical (and thinking about it... Cstholic, but for different and more nefsrious reasons) ignorance of more than the common view of God, the devil, angels, demons, and us. Which is, patently, idiotically false, and has pissed me off to no end recently, since that view is responsible for much of what ails "the church" today.

I was only a bit pissed at first because it sounded like he was ridiculing Christianity in general. After talking with him, it's not the case, I still disagree with a lot of what he says but at least I think he has done his research and isn't basing his beliefs on lack of knowledge
